Good to know the talent is there. Now we just have to see him do it over 60+ games in the middle of the NHL circus where he is the expected saviour of Tampa's crease.
Lindbäck has played really well in Finland. I mean REALLY well. Last four games he has 130 saves, only one goal allowed and obviously three shutouts. With a team that's arguably the worst in the league.
To be honest, I have never seen such a good goaltending in my life. And I have seen hockey quite a bit. I talked with the goalie coach of Ilves, his team, and he ran out of positive adjectives trying to describe him.
Of course the quality of shooters is better in the NHL, but I'm sure Tampa's goaltending problems are over, he's the real deal.

Great to hear. Thanks for the update.
Hope he is the backbone of both my teams for years to come.

TB has solidified it's D and Lindback has a ton of potential. I expect good numbers for him in the coming years, potentially near the top of the league within 2 or 3 seasons.

The thing I like most about Lindback right now is that I own him.
Yeah, he hasn't proven yet that he can sustain this kind of production at the NHL level but in any pro league where you stop 130 of 131 shots over 4 games there is some substance to the man.
I recently acquired him in one of my leagues. Thanks for sharing the info!

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Hmmm... After he was dealt to TB I gave him away for Huberdeau. Both unproven, but I simply hope I won't curse myself in a year or so....
Would you do that deal still?

I wouldn't go as far as saying Tampa "solified" their D. It certainly should be upgraded, but still a work in progress.
I'm a big believer/fan of Lindback but also a big believer/fan of Huberdeau. It would depend on the league settings and team needs, but I could see an argument for either side of that deal.
The man knows what hes doing, eh?
I have an offer on the table right now,
My Pavelec stright up for Lindback.
Who is the better option for the next few seasons?
