Lindback keeps even keel away from rink

The Tampa Bay Times characterizes how Lightning goaltender Anders Lindback, even during some rough stretches on the ice this season, has been the model of professionalism with a constantly good work ethic and attitude.

Away from the rink, he'd carve out some quiet time to read, play guitar or fish. Anything but stress about how he was playing.

"That's only going to take you down more," Lindback said of constantly worrying. "It's hard to be all emotional during a long stretch of the season. Better — even though it's hard sometimes — to stay in the middle."

The article describes the tweaks he has made in his game, which helped him post some stellar stats when Ben Bishop went down with an injury.

"Just way more patient," Lindback said. "I feel like I'm more consistent in everything I do out there. You just keep pushing. It's time to take it to another level."
