48MPHSlapShot Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Lind got his first goal of the season today in Utica's 8-2 win over the Charlotte Checkers. He now has 1 goal and 5 assists in 4 games this season. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Why was no one taking KL? Because they didn't have JB & co at the helm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Laheys Liquor Posted October 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2019 1 Goal and 6 assists thru 5 games for Lind so far for a 1.4 pt/g pace... only 10 points off of his last years total in 46 less games played.. 2 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo Kramer Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Great to see Lind taking off this year. I think some people expected this of him last year but, he is a young guy, in a new league, in a new city, likely getting used to living on his own, learning everything about being a pro behind the scenes, and trying to get his conditioning to the point of the rest of the league. One year later and he knows what it's all about. Keep it up Lind! Edited October 21, 2019 by Kosmo Kramer 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred65 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I was thinking during RJ interview, it's a shame JV didn't have a plan and it's a shame he didn't go back to Junior and then Utica. I think the treatment of Lind is a result of the bad development of JV. Maybe we have a player in Lind! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why we don't run players out of town. The ones the team keeps are generally the ones the team knows (behind the scenes) that they are willing to put the work in. Trust the process. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players just are not ready for the jump from juniors to professional hockey. I like Kole Lind and am happy that he used last season as a wake up call and motivation to take ownership of his career and put in the work needed to succeed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Scoring at over a point per game on the 2nd line is pretty decent. We're going to have a good log jam at forward pretty soon. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Just a little more to add to the RJ interview: https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/patrick-johnston-canucks-see-veteran-laden-comets-as-a-good-thing-for-the-kids Quote One of the young players who will benefit from exposure to a pair of players with NHL experience is Kole Lind. From a results perspective, his first pro season was a difficult one: He had scored at every level but last season managed just five goals in 51 games for the Comets. It was a surprise to see a player who many scouts and analysts thought was a strong dark horse in the Canucks’ prospect stable struggle so much. Through five games this season he already has seven points. In training camp, he stood out. He appeared to have regained confidence in his own game, in his ability to do what he’d done so well in junior: Winning pucks, making plays and creating scoring chances. “We challenged him last spring,” Johnson said. “Come in to training camp ready to compete and show that he belongs. He’s done the work, he’s improved his overall strength, his skating. It’s showed, he is a different player, he’s more confident. He’s let his skill set shine.” Like just about every other young player, Lind’s story, Johnson said, wasn’t just a case of getting stronger. He’d needed to have better technique to compete for pucks, to stand out from his peers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Podz92 Posted October 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2019 I see Kole Lind had the game winning goal tonight. He's 3-6-9 and a +6 in 8 games. Seems like he's gotten over the adjustment from the WHL to the AHL. Looking forward to his continued improvement this season... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did get a look, it would only be to assess his development, I figure. We have Baer and Gaudette (both up today) and Goldy as first fill-ins so we absolutely don't require Lind for depth right now. I'd really just rather see him get big developmental minutes in the AHL for this entire year. Edited November 1, 2019 by kloubek 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like for the 2nd tier prospects, it always takes a season to adjust from WHL to AHL. That's why I wasn't panicking last year. This is the make it or break it year, in my opinion, for Lind and Gadjovich. Lind appears to be up for the challenge and will probably get an NHL game if he keeps this up by the spring. Just glad he's regained his confidence. I hope Gadjovich figures it out next. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
