Ryan Lindgren

Um, I really include him here because of how bad our current defensive core is.

It consists of Ryan Lindgren.

We had Jamie Oleksiak last year.

We still have Adam Larson.

So mostly the same.

I am.

I've never seen a better lineup in my life of not having Ryan Lindgren's name on something.

So thank goodness.

but Sebastian Ajo finally pushed one past Jasturkin in the final minutes of the third to send the game to overtime.

Then came Coles' rebound shot, which clipped the stick of Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren on the way past Jasturkin.

Philip Cheadle had the lone goal for the Blue Shirts.

Times of today's action.

You saw that firsthand in the World Championship.

Maybe you can educate our listeners, Misha, just how things got altered for your team at the Worlds when Bouchard got concussed on the hit from Ryan Lindgren.

Yeah, you know what, Bob? You couldn't have articulated it better.

I mean, it was a massive, massive loss to our team.

You put him with somebody who can hit.

Remember with Ryan Lindgren, they were phenomenal, and Lindgren hit anything that moved.

I can't really believe Fox isn't in the top 50.

It's kind of crazy.

That's a guy that I think was badly in need of a change of scenery, and I mean, he, he was, he was really struggling [chuckles] that last season.

Um, Ryan Lindgren, you know, the, the injuries were taking their toll, and he ended up getting traded.

Carson Soucy, we had him here for the second half of a season and the first half of a season, and I, I don't think he did anything to wow anybody.

A little bit better in the second season, but I mean, I, I think we're okay, all, all of us moving on from Carson Soucy.

What, what game footage was the EA Sports crew watching to land at that 85 rating? Absolutely not.

What are you gonna tell me next, that Ryan Lindgren is, like, 84 and just hasn't been listed yet? He's, like, acceleration 84, speed 84, uh, passing 85, slapshot 87, uh, and I can't tell what that one is, 84.

Larsson has 84 speed?

It's, I'm assuming that's what SPD means.

I, I've, we've talked on here before about how he should probably be, probably be bumped down to the second or third line if we had, like, a solid D core.

Um, the problem is we don't have a solid D core.

Uh, like you said, Ryan Lindgren is on the core.

We're gonna have Cale Fleury there this year, who, no, no disrespect to Cale Fleury, founding member of the Kraken, but-

Philip Sheetal scored the tie-breaking goal early in the third, and the Rangers starved off elimination with a 5-3 win over the Penguins in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.

Jacob Truba and Alexis Lafiniere each had a goal and an assist, and Adam Fox and Ryan Lindgren also scored for the Rangers.

Igor Shosturkin had 27 saves.

Jake Grunsell had two goals, and Chris Letang also scored for the Penguins, who now lead the best of seven series 3-2.

And I had an opportunity actually with Charlie to go see, um, a couple of games in New York when my schedule intersected with being in New York.

And we went to see a game in November against the Buffalo Sabres, and it is the one where Ryan Lindgren scored with, like, .3 seconds to go-

Yes
