Cole said he didn’t even know how to shop fir food, let alone cook proper meals. He said it took him months to figure out a proper diet. I think the change from junior, where the players have billet parents who take very good care of them, to being on their own is equally significant to the change in level of play. I fully expect Lind to have a huge year next season. He’s far more mature now, and understands what is expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UticaHockey Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 And what nobody talks about is Lind also missed a significant number of games with three separate injuries plus his skating is just average. This is an extremely important summer for Kole to work on both his strength and his skating. His first full pro season had to be an eye opener for him. Now it's up to him to put the work in and come back next fall as a better pro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroCanuck Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Good to see Lind picking up the offensive play to end the season. Rough first pro year for him but with a good summer I think he can be a very good player down there next year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of fans had lofty expectations of Kole Lind, one area that is super underrated in Kole's game that has been apparent despite the lack of offensive numbers is his agitating/sand paper like style. Several times this year he has gotten under the skin of many AHL veterans especially as of recent against Andy Andreoff and Hubert Labrie who were chasing after him looking to fight him because he was simply crawling under their skin. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logic Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 A winning environment is just as crucial as enough ice time for developing, throwing kids into roles they’re not ready for means lost games = losing environment 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UticaHockey Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 What does Kole Lind think he needs to work on this summer? "Skating, strength in my legs and more power" Exactly what those who have been watching him play all year have been saying. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Speed. Agility. Power. I’m a big fan of Lind adding these things. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said that. Hardly ever playing, as was the case with Palmu, Gadjovich, and Lind is certainly not the solution. If they can’t make the lineup, put them where they can play.

Even losing time from injuries, they still played in the majority of Utica's games. For you, playing the majority of games = hardly ever playing? Seems to me that "hardly ever" would mean playing in less than half of the games they were available to play, which was not the case for the players you mentioned. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmu went back to Europe, and we traded Dahlen. Lind and Gadjovie got lots more playing time as the season progressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
