that is a dirty ass hit and @40DanConnor facing the boards is called checking from behind boarding is if somebody jumps or you are off the boards and they hit you into the boards so ur the dumbass
Very questionable hit by Lindros. Comes in a tad late with the elbows high to smash a player's head into the glass. You live by the sword you die by the sword and he got what was coming to him with all the concussions.
Clearly a head shot!! Too much anger on the hit caused the little extra lift just before the contact and the shoulder raised on the head level. Well, as we now know... you'll get what you order.
I don't know if it was a boarding necessarily but Lindros did look like he had his hands up a little high. I'm not a fan of either team but I will say that Konstantinov was pond for pond one of the toughest players I've ever seen. The guy was maybe 180 pounds soaking wet and laid out hits like he was 225. I'm a Blues fan and I must say that I hated Vlad at the time but he was fun to watch. It is a shame that some drunk asshole had to ruin his career. Good luck to both Philly and Det in the PO's
big e was a force to be reckoned with, its ashame how his career ended, but back in the 90s man look out! he was awesome to watch, a throw back type player, he hurt on the score board, he hurt you with the gloves dropped, he'd lay you out with a monster hit you and out work you on the boards too, a great captain on ome of the most exciting flyers teams to watch
That was clean, not boarding because Konstantinov was facing out towards Lindros... If Konstantinov was facing the boards it would have been a penalty. It's a shame about Konstantinov, wasn't he the one paralyzed in the limo accident? Lindros a great player and almost all his hits were clean unlike Darius Kasparaitus who specialized in being dirty and put the worst concussion on Lindros.
Don't be haters. Great hit. That's what the subject of the video and of the post is about. Did the Flyers get crushed and swept? Yep. And it was embarrassing for us Flyers fans BUT E-Train rocked him. Clean. End of story. NEXT!
They neglect to mention Lindros was headhunting because Konstantinov had been absolutely LIGHTING UP the Flyers for the entire series. So.. I mean cool, one hit. The guy still got his cup ring, and Lindros still got nothing.
@hockeyfreakboy99 what do you give chara everytime he hits anyone? Great job making up calls to, theres no elbow to head at all, that's just a large mans shoulder into a smaller mans head.
@40DanConnor oh true. my opinion completely changed since you said this. Sorry, sorry everyone dan connor works up in toronto. NOOOOOOOOOO, your an idiot.
@Airman241 lol huh?you're fucking high.his accident is his claim to fame.he might of been a household name in det and russia,but not so big every where else.
@bern1417 you must not have follwed the league back then maybe too young to remember but if you are old enough to know you knew he was one of the best blueliners in the league,while his accident was unfortunate to make your claim without knowing is dumb,do your research
@Airman241 negative bro i'm probably older than you.he had one great season.the accident is his claim to fame.for christ sake heres a quote from his wikkipedia"he's best known outside of detroit for his accident rather than what he did on the ice".so i did some research like you suggested and evidently i was right the first time.i've been following hockey since 86.
You shouldn't quote wiki when trying to make a point, it doesn't bolster your claim, that really isn't research. Vlad was one of the up and coming blue liners, and while he wasn't at the top of the game, or at the top of his game, at the time of the incident, he was still a very well known player.
@PSonak ok bro you do some research and tell me what you find.it took him how long to even get to the nhl?exactly.up and coming is different than being a house hold name around the nhl.you do realize your 2 responses to my comment totally contradict themselves?"he was one of the up and coming blueliners" and "he was one of the best blueliners in the league".you proved my point dude!!!.
@bern1417 Ok bro, Vlad spent exactly zero seasons in the minors so he must not have been too bad.
And "dude" I never said that he was one of the best blueliners in the league, you made that up. I said that he was an up and comer who was a well known player. Seriously, what are you, five? Nevermind, I see now that you are a Pens fan, that explains it all. You probably think that the league shut down between Lemieux and Crosby.
@PSonak really>so now you're going to lie?look at your first two responses to my comment.they read just as i typed it.or did you take those down bc you look dumb?negative dikdo i've been going to pens games for more years than you've been alive.
@PSonak my fault.you're right you didn't say that, it was another idiot who said that.again i apologize i thought it was the two of us having this conversation from the start.
@Airman241 well by that comment i'd say you are either divorced or single or both.you might be right all of the time,but you were wrong here....nice try though!!
@kda5 wow one good season he was great.this conversation had nothing too do with you.so don't chime in talking stupid.do you even know why we're discussing him?whats the norris trophey for?i forget.....
@kda5 nope...you just don't have a fucking clue what you are talking about.theres nothing worse than that.an idiot who chimes in and doesn't have a fucking clue.
@bern1417 you must not have followed the league back then maybe too young to remember but if you are old enough to know you knew he was one of the best blueliners in the league,while his accident was unfortunate to make your claim without knowing is dumb,do your research
Ya, and I remember several hits that Vladdie laid lindross out on. You will notice in the replay at the end that lindross had his elbow up in his face when he hit him. I think lindross is one of the biggest cheap shot artists who NEVER fights in the NHL.
@PA28140 sorry bud but you were wrong in almost every comment you made there. i havnt seen any of these hits ON lindros so i cant comment, but there was no elbow, he was clean when he was actually laying hits, and he was probably one of the greatest fighters in the league's history
@PA28140 lindros definetly did his share of cheap shit.however,i'm not sure what video you're watching bc lindros simply planted his shoulder and drove with it.he never elbowed him dude.that was a punishing and clean hit.def one of the harder hits i've seen him throw.i'm surprised he didn't put him through the glass.
Im a Devils fan all the way... watching Eric Lindros dishing out hits on Konstantinov is amazing but what happened to Eric Lindros by the way! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ogrebattle22763 An asshole Stevens pulled off a piece of shit hit on him so he could get out of his system all the desperation,frustration and anger of being Lindros target and punching bag over all those years.
@88BigEtrain Yes sure you keep telling yourself that so you can sleep better at night LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LAID THE FUCK OUT MY FRIEND!!! Sleep good!!!!
@ogrebattle22763 As long as people like you keep saying nonsense about the hit being I"ll be around attacking all the shit about Lindros.You can't win,I know too much about that guy,so haters,bashers and people not being able to analyze details behind things and put all the facts together won't stand a chance.Have nightmares about Lindros,dude!
@88BigEtrain Yes I know keep telling yourself those words so you can sleep better at night.... ERIC LINDROS GOT LAID THE FUCK OUT!!!! SCOTT STEVENS = HALL OF FAME DEFENSEMEN....THAT IS A FACT! LINDROS WAS A BUM AN UNDERACHIEVING OVER PAID BUM....
@ogrebattle22763 Keep telling me those words so you can sleep better at night yourself.Yep,Lindros got laid out by that asshole Stevens for obvious reasons,that you either don't know or don't want to deliberately think about them.Too bad,they'd give you the truth.Stevens in HHOF-fine with me,I respect his career.What will never be fine with me is this vicious,premeditated piece of shit that he pulled off on my man Lindros.
@88BigEtrain Vicious????????????????? Scott Stevens is a Hall Of Fame Defensemen his hit was a perfectly well placed hit! Your boy went skating in with his head down thinking he could just skate into the zone like he always did unmolested & he paid the price for it , LEGAL HIT!!!!! Your boy Lindros paid for his stupidity... thats why your upset!
@ogrebattle22763 Yeah,you're right,perfectly timed,premeditated and placed cheap,vicious,piece of shit blindsided hit with one purpose-to kill not only Lindros' 00 playoffs,but preferably his career.You really don't need to be a genious to figure that out.You heard it yourself-those two had battled for years with Stevens getting beat physically on every level.I know the facts prior to that series and prior to that hit.Keep his head up?A weak argument.I guess all other 550 players are stupid too.
@88BigEtrain Awwwwwww! Yes Yes a vicious premeditated hit.... Stevens getting beat physically on every level LMAO! I think what we have is a serious bonafide crybaby....... because that's exactly what you are... go tell your story while your crying in your beer next to another Lindros fan..... The funny part about you is... if Stevens had been a Flyer & done that you'd be sitting here saying he's the greatest then it wouldn't be so bad would it you hypocrite.. yeah we all should cry like you do
@ogrebattle22763 Thanks for picking up the first two statements about Stevens.The rest of your comment is worthless.You really don't have to think that hard to see the purpose of the hit.But you'd have to know the facts and put the pieces behind it together.
@88BigEtrain yes i know the facts very well my friend but what most "real" hockey fans don't do is sit an make excuses like you do & cry .... as for my comment being worthless coming from someone like you it doesn't mean a thing to me... sleep well with Lindros! LOL.!
@ogrebattle22763 Yeah,right.you don't know them.You have your own that you use automatically without thinking hard.Plus,you bash and hate Lindros left and right in general without giving him a respect he damn sure deserves so how in the world can I expect you to think hard?And should your comments make me lose my sleep over?Bottom line-I comment when people like you show up like that and attack Lindros.Somebody has to defend him and it happens to be me.
@88BigEtrain The truth of it all is you are a total hypocrite & phoney.... you sit back & you act like Lindros was some badass tough guy when in fact he was nothing more then an overpaid BUM.... When you say his name he gets no respect from anyone who knows about hockey..... he was a complete BUM you know it & so does everyone else... so keep crying & making excuses for the great Eric Lindros & "WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN" lmao!!!!!!!!
@ogrebattle22763 I repeat it again,why don't you crawl back into that cave you came out of right about know and stay in there.Your comments are lunatic,ludicrous and out of whack.You're out of touch with reality and just about everything about Lindros.You, unlike me,don't know shit about him,just like your alleged "hockey experts".
@88BigEtrain SCOTT STEVENS 3 TIME STANLEY CUP CHAMP!!! Had the respect of any repeputable player in the league... all your crying about Lindros can't & won't save you..... CRYBABY!
@ogrebattle22763 And Am I supposed to envy those Cups?Because I don't.I wouldn't have cared if he had won 6 Cups.It's not about whether he won a Cup or not to be considered great or respected.Of course he was respected by the players,there is a respect among them,they're professionals after all.Bob Probert was respected too.But that doesn't change the fact about Stevens' big garbage hit.It isn't worth anything but thrash.Stevens should be dumped for it right thereafter.
@ogrebattle22763 Aaaah,wrong,dude.I don't envy anything he accomplished,including his Cups.In fact I respected him as a D-man and consistency.But we're not talking about Stevens' career here.I don't respect this piece of garbage hit though and I'll keep hammering it every time an admirer says that that was a clean hit.Anyone is welcome to debate the hit, the facts and the reasons behind it.I know them and believe me,they're very clear.Some people are too ignorant to analyze them though.
@ogrebattle22763 Actually,not permanently,he came back and played even after that asshole Stevens had to retire after his "mysterious concussion"See,your facts are made up,pay attention or go to the offical hockey materials.And what was Lindros supposed to say?Oh,Stevens wanted to finish my career with that hit..Yeah,right.
@ogrebattle22763 Uhmmm,what did you just say?Hype up Lindros?Go and crawl back to your cave where you've been successfully hiding in 1990's.Oh,barring that you're not old enough to remember those years,you idiot.I almost feel embarrased for your being so off the base here.
@88BigEtrain Philly gave him all that money he was supposed to bring you guys a cup!!!!! You guys got coky thought you were gonna hand THE RED WINGS their ass instead it was the other way around DETROIT kicked the shit out of your mighty philly team... Eric Lindros scores a meaningless goal in the last game when it didn't matter.... BUM!
@ogrebattle22763 No,money well deserved,no doubt..Lindros singlehandedly carried Philly and everybody with brain knew that.He got burned out,duh.The reasons behind Philly's loss in 97 final are several,but they'd take up too much space for me to name them.Detroit just had the right team and unlike Philly an insane goaltending.Was just Detroit's time.Lindros had to work hard to get back on the ice after concussions way too many times and it cost him the necessary energy that's needed in playoffs.
@88BigEtrain Burned out hahahahahahahahahaha yeah ok! Detroit spanked your asses & spanked it good! You guys thought you were a bunch of tough guys but it didn't work out the way you thought it would did you lololol....
@ogrebattle22763 Like I said,Detroit's time.Everything went Detroit's way,I have no reason to hide that fact.And burned out was he.Just think for a few moments,about the series about the playoffs 96-97,about the regular season.I mean,don't be naive to think otherwise about him Eric was an ice time king.Compare the numbers and you'll see.
@88BigEtrain Ice time king.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah we'll see him get voted into the hall of fame any time soon LOLOLOLOLOLOL....
@ogrebattle22763 Hmmmm,great,you already know the worst kept secret in hockey world.Good for you.I"ll see you in HHOF.Actually I won't,youl'll be green with anger.You'd look silly in such an environment.
Yeah, just look at the score!!Great Philly! They sucked then, they suck now! They will suck always! Red Wings forever..after 2012 Red Wings will win every time!!!
Gotta give Lindros credit for that nice hit. Lindros was hit all the time by vladdy and i think thats payback for everything vladdy did to make lindros suck that series. I love Vladdy, Wish Vladdy was still playing though
@Rudziewicz You bet that that was a great hit!Arguably one of the hardest hits against the boards ever from the best and hardest hitter ever.Thanks for supporting Lindros,man.
@raymone6 That's a typical Fan fairytale! Were you there? That's why Brindy and Eric are still friends today and Brindy said he could understand why Eric left Philly. The same has been said about Jeff carter and Lisa Hartnell. I never believe the stories being made up by angry fans.
iI didn't make that up I heard it and its funny as shit I heard that Sandy McCarthy was on the team and the last concussion Lindros had in philly was because he knocked him out for doing brind's wife. I don't know if that is true to be honest I don't care there must have been a reason so many players hated Lindros.
I don't say YOU made it up I talk about the fans. No the story isn't true at all. The same with the story about him and Elvis Stojco had a figth in a bar. That's an urban legend and they both had to laugh about it but fans still believe it today. I don't care if you believe it or not. That';s your own business. People hated Lindy most because of the fights between him and Clarke and Lindy's parents. And because he was just a very tough guy on the ice.
I guess see I love the rangers and as much as I hate someone like crosby he is one of the best. I liked lindros too I guess I am angry now because I look back at him with the Rangers and wish they won a cup with him. I remember he had one really good year in new york that I remember I think he scored 40 goals one year I'm not totally sure on that.
wow so childish thehegame, we had some guys playin banged up , @ least we didnt pay 4 r team and @ least r entire lineup isnt on steroids. fuck the yankees and you.
Why is a Lindros fan mucking up this great video? Look, Lindros cleaned Stevens' clock regularly, but we all know who got the last laugh. There's nothing to argue.
@AnaheimDucks39 Rofl, this was back when the Wings were the toughest team in the league. McCarty, Kocur, Lapointe. Any one of these guys would have taken Lindros. He skated directly off the ice so he wouldn't have to answer to anyone. You're blinded by your hated for the Wings. Stop being to biased because of this. But it's very fitting for a fan of a classless team like the Ducks to talk shit about the best franchise in sports history.
@88BigEtrain Just looking at your name I know not to take anything you say into consideration because you're opinions are going to be extremely biased. Which they are.
Your name doesn't reveal anything just like your arguments.I will defend a future Hall of Famer as long as there are people like yourself doubting something there is NO doubt about-greatness of Eric Lindros.The facts will kill any basher and hater.
Boarding!?Are you kidding!?"The BigE" was big and strong and when he hit,the impact made boards rattling and glass shaking and a player would go down.I guess you're a fan of some so called "hits" from players who before they hit they turn their back first and hit with their back and butt.But this is a hit from the best hitter ever and his famous clinique "How to hit hard against the boards".
Yah and whats your point. Vladi was half his size and he didnt rattle the boards he fucking threw people threw them. Remember when he dislocated the boards and got that avs head stuck in between them? And lets not act like Vladi didn't get his fair share of licks on "TheBigE" Vladi was an aggressive player. He dished out and took a lot of hits. Vladimir Konstantinov was the greatest bodychecker to ever play the game period. Lindros never learned to keep his head up as he crossed the blue line.
great hit too bad the NHL sucks dick now and you wont see anymore hits like this

@bern1417 you must not have followed the league back then maybe too young to remember but if you are old enough to know you knew he was one of the best blueliners in the league,while his accident was unfortunate to make your claim without knowing is dumb,do your research

Ya, and I remember several hits that Vladdie laid lindross out on. You will notice in the replay at the end that lindross had his elbow up in his face when he hit him. I think lindross is one of the biggest cheap shot artists who NEVER fights in the NHL.
PA28140 1 year ago
@PA28140 Watch it again. his elbow is tucked. The punishing factor was the shoulder to the head.
And Lindros fought plenty, especially for a guy that was his team's leading scorer.
leifey 1 year ago
@PA28140 sorry bud but you were wrong in almost every comment you made there. i havnt seen any of these hits ON lindros so i cant comment, but there was no elbow, he was clean when he was actually laying hits, and he was probably one of the greatest fighters in the league's history
856pat 1 year ago
@PA28140 lindros definetly did his share of cheap shit.however,i'm not sure what video you're watching bc lindros simply planted his shoulder and drove with it.he never elbowed him dude.that was a punishing and clean hit.def one of the harder hits i've seen him throw.i'm surprised he didn't put him through the glass.

88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain Yes I know keep telling yourself those words so you can sleep better at night.... ERIC LINDROS GOT LAID THE FUCK OUT!!!! SCOTT STEVENS = HALL OF FAME DEFENSEMEN....THAT IS A FACT! LINDROS WAS A BUM AN UNDERACHIEVING OVER PAID BUM....
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Keep telling me those words so you can sleep better at night yourself.Yep,Lindros got laid out by that asshole Stevens for obvious reasons,that you either don't know or don't want to deliberately think about them.Too bad,they'd give you the truth.Stevens in HHOF-fine with me,I respect his career.What will never be fine with me is this vicious,premeditated piece of shit that he pulled off on my man Lindros.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain Vicious????????????????? Scott Stevens is a Hall Of Fame Defensemen his hit was a perfectly well placed hit! Your boy went skating in with his head down thinking he could just skate into the zone like he always did unmolested & he paid the price for it , LEGAL HIT!!!!! Your boy Lindros paid for his stupidity... thats why your upset!
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Yeah,you're right,perfectly timed,premeditated and placed cheap,vicious,piece of shit blindsided hit with one purpose-to kill not only Lindros' 00 playoffs,but preferably his career.You really don't need to be a genious to figure that out.You heard it yourself-those two had battled for years with Stevens getting beat physically on every level.I know the facts prior to that series and prior to that hit.Keep his head up?A weak argument.I guess all other 550 players are stupid too.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain Awwwwwww! Yes Yes a vicious premeditated hit.... Stevens getting beat physically on every level LMAO! I think what we have is a serious bonafide crybaby....... because that's exactly what you are... go tell your story while your crying in your beer next to another Lindros fan..... The funny part about you is... if Stevens had been a Flyer & done that you'd be sitting here saying he's the greatest then it wouldn't be so bad would it you hypocrite.. yeah we all should cry like you do
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Thanks for picking up the first two statements about Stevens.The rest of your comment is worthless.You really don't have to think that hard to see the purpose of the hit.But you'd have to know the facts and put the pieces behind it together.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain yes i know the facts very well my friend but what most "real" hockey fans don't do is sit an make excuses like you do & cry .... as for my comment being worthless coming from someone like you it doesn't mean a thing to me... sleep well with Lindros! LOL.!
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Yeah,right.you don't know them.You have your own that you use automatically without thinking hard.Plus,you bash and hate Lindros left and right in general without giving him a respect he damn sure deserves so how in the world can I expect you to think hard?And should your comments make me lose my sleep over?Bottom line-I comment when people like you show up like that and attack Lindros.Somebody has to defend him and it happens to be me.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain The truth of it all is you are a total hypocrite & phoney.... you sit back & you act like Lindros was some badass tough guy when in fact he was nothing more then an overpaid BUM.... When you say his name he gets no respect from anyone who knows about hockey..... he was a complete BUM you know it & so does everyone else... so keep crying & making excuses for the great Eric Lindros & "WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN" lmao!!!!!!!!
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 I repeat it again,why don't you crawl back into that cave you came out of right about know and stay in there.Your comments are lunatic,ludicrous and out of whack.You're out of touch with reality and just about everything about Lindros.You, unlike me,don't know shit about him,just like your alleged "hockey experts".

@88BigEtrain SCOTT STEVENS 3 TIME STANLEY CUP CHAMP!!! Had the respect of any repeputable player in the league... all your crying about Lindros can't & won't save you..... CRYBABY!
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 And Am I supposed to envy those Cups?Because I don't.I wouldn't have cared if he had won 6 Cups.It's not about whether he won a Cup or not to be considered great or respected.Of course he was respected by the players,there is a respect among them,they're professionals after all.Bob Probert was respected too.But that doesn't change the fact about Stevens' big garbage hit.It isn't worth anything but thrash.Stevens should be dumped for it right thereafter.

@88BigEtrain Envy everyone of them buddy every one!
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Aaaah,wrong,dude.I don't envy anything he accomplished,including his Cups.In fact I respected him as a D-man and consistency.But we're not talking about Stevens' career here.I don't respect this piece of garbage hit though and I'll keep hammering it every time an admirer says that that was a clean hit.Anyone is welcome to debate the hit, the facts and the reasons behind it.I know them and believe me,they're very clear.Some people are too ignorant to analyze them though.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain Garbage hit that laid your boy out permanently..... ask Lindros if he thought it was a garbage hit! LMAO!
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Actually,not permanently,he came back and played even after that asshole Stevens had to retire after his "mysterious concussion"See,your facts are made up,pay attention or go to the offical hockey materials.And what was Lindros supposed to say?Oh,Stevens wanted to finish my career with that hit..Yeah,right.

Eric Lindros scores a meaningless goal in the last game when it didn't matter.... BUM!
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 No,money well deserved,no doubt..Lindros singlehandedly carried Philly and everybody with brain knew that.He got burned out,duh.The reasons behind Philly's loss in 97 final are several,but they'd take up too much space for me to name them.Detroit just had the right team and unlike Philly an insane goaltending.Was just Detroit's time.Lindros had to work hard to get back on the ice after concussions way too many times and it cost him the necessary energy that's needed in playoffs.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain Burned out hahahahahahahahahaha yeah ok! Detroit spanked your asses & spanked it good! You guys thought you were a bunch of tough guys but it didn't work out the way you thought it would did you lololol....
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Like I said,Detroit's time.Everything went Detroit's way,I have no reason to hide that fact.And burned out was he.Just think for a few moments,about the series about the playoffs 96-97,about the regular season.I mean,don't be naive to think otherwise about him Eric was an ice time king.Compare the numbers and you'll see.

@raymone6 That's a typical Fan fairytale! Were you there? That's why Brindy and Eric are still friends today and Brindy said he could understand why Eric left Philly. The same has been said about Jeff carter and Lisa Hartnell. I never believe the stories being made up by angry fans.
GalilGade 2 years ago
iI didn't make that up I heard it and its funny as shit I heard that Sandy McCarthy was on the team and the last concussion Lindros had in philly was because he knocked him out for doing brind's wife. I don't know if that is true to be honest I don't care there must have been a reason so many players hated Lindros.

I don't say YOU made it up I talk about the fans. No the story isn't true at all. The same with the story about him and Elvis Stojco had a figth in a bar. That's an urban legend and they both had to laugh about it but fans still believe it today. I don't care if you believe it or not. That';s your own business. People hated Lindy most because of the fights between him and Clarke and Lindy's parents. And because he was just a very tough guy on the ice.

@AnaheimDucks39 Rofl, this was back when the Wings were the toughest team in the league. McCarty, Kocur, Lapointe. Any one of these guys would have taken Lindros. He skated directly off the ice so he wouldn't have to answer to anyone. You're blinded by your hated for the Wings. Stop being to biased because of this. But it's very fitting for a fan of a classless team like the Ducks to talk shit about the best franchise in sports history.

jimih64 2 years ago
Boarding!?Are you kidding!?"The BigE" was big and strong and when he hit,the impact made boards rattling and glass shaking and a player would go down.I guess you're a fan of some so called "hits" from players who before they hit they turn their back first and hit with their back and butt.But this is a hit from the best hitter ever and his famous clinique "How to hit hard against the boards".
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
Yah and whats your point. Vladi was half his size and he didnt rattle the boards he fucking threw people threw them. Remember when he dislocated the boards and got that avs head stuck in between them? And lets not act like Vladi didn't get his fair share of licks on "TheBigE" Vladi was an aggressive player. He dished out and took a lot of hits. Vladimir Konstantinov was the greatest bodychecker to ever play the game period. Lindros never learned to keep his head up as he crossed the blue line.
