Eric Lindros vs Derian Hatcher

[MrJuha82]

Not much going on here, DRAW. Lindros got locked out Hatcher but didnt throw a shots at him thougfh.

[thaboysarebackintown]

Just because he didn't score 40 goals a season, doesn't mean he sucked. He was good at what he was supposed to do. A Defensive D-man.

[88BigEtrain]

Lindros flies right into the scrum.Love it.

[mblm20042003]

I never seen hatcher get beaten too bad, his size always seemed to give guys problems, but i think time has shown Brendan Shanahan to be the greatest power forward of that era

[47tooter]

The only tough guys Eric ever fought were nothing fights because he would have gotten his ass kicked.

[ripsnorter419]

big left?? the asshole ref took him down lol

[phille22]

both like 110 kilo lads

[G0odf3lla]

fuck hatcher

[fahq02x]

hatcher is a pussy.

[projectloki]

@fahq02x a pussy with a jaw made of rock.

[GregGumbel]

Lindros takes care of 6'5 softie Derian Hatcher. Have another donuts after the game Derian.

[Rezs1ckness]

@GregGumbel lmao where did he handle hatcher?? all i saw was 3 flyers hanging onto him while he was trying to get loose and the glass headed lindross was swinging at him... yeah he took care of him alright without 2 refs and 2 or 3 teammates hanging on him at the begining i think lindross would have probably had his first and last concussion that night and a fail career would have been alot shorter

[GregGumbel]

@Rezs1ckness easy derian, i had no idea you were prowling youtube for old videos of your career. yeah you sure kicked ass here

[vvbn7890]

@Rezs1ckness Fuck hatcher he was the dirtiest redneck no talent goon ever save for ulf samuelson

[thaboysarebackintown]

@vvbn7890 Your calling Hatcher dirty? He just took on two people, ass.

[vvbn7890]

@thaboysarebackintown 2 People clinging on to him is an external factor. Him being dirty is internal. People holding on to him has 0 effect on whether he was dirty or not. <-- Logic

Hes a goon, period.

[thaboysarebackintown]

@vvbn7890 Your right. How noble of Lindros and his teammate to try to take out Hatcher. Lindros is a cancer to the sport and Hatcher wasn't.

[thaboysarebackintown]

@vvbn7890 One more thing, didn't you notice Lindros coming from the blindside? Or are your Flyers glasses blinding you?

[vvbn7890]

@thaboysarebackintown You're very narrow sighted. This one, single, <1:00 clip is not a true indication of whether a player is dirty or not. Lindros was dirty because people targeted him, and if he didnt send messages he would be beaten and injured out of the league earlier than he already was. Hatcher on the other hand, had no talent - all he did was be a goon.

[thaboysarebackintown]

@vvbn7890 Hatcher was a great defensive d-man. If he didn't have stone feet, he would of been much better. Say what you want to about Hatcher, he got his ring and he isn't a cancer like Lindros was.

[vvbn7890]

@thaboysarebackintown Hatcher got his ring riding off the backs of guys like Modano, Hull and Belfour. He was BARELY a good defenseman, because back then the NHL allowed the bullshit him and other dirty players did with cheap shots and career ending hits with no consequences. In the new NHL where its more about player skill and less about meat, Hatcher is shit, was shit, and never will be anything better. Hatcher was a good goon. He was NOT a good hockey player by any stretch.

[thaboysarebackintown]

@vvbn7890 Bullshit. He was put out against the opponents' top line for a reason. Who's career did he end? J You just need to take of your homer glasses. Why the fuck would Hitchcock, a stern strong willed coach, put Hatcher on his number 1 line with Matvichuk, if Hatcher was awful? You cheer for a cancer like Lindros but scold Hatcher who was a team player.

[vvbn7890]

@thaboysarebackintown Of course he was put on the #1 lines. He was there to be a goon and protect the good players. Hitchcock wasnt going to play his best players w/o some protection in *that* NHL. Hatcher is not a skilled hockey player. He is a skilled fighter and goon - neither of which hold much weight in todays NHL.

Despite Lindros' problems in character, you cannot deny is dominance in being able to pretty much do it all from scoring to hitting to fighting.

[thaboysarebackintown]

@vvbn7890 Bullshit, he was out there to shut down the opposing players best lines. Don't forget Lindros was about as brittle players as there was in the NHL. Hell Theoren Fleury played in 9 80 game seasons in the NHL, while Lindros only played in 1 and he out weighed Fleury by 60 lbs and was almost a foot taller than him as well.

[vvbn7890]

@thaboysarebackintown Dude we are saying the same thing but from a different perspective have you not caught on yet?

Hatcher WAS used to shut down opposing players

Hatcher WAS played with the best on his team

The dif. lies in WHY he was used for those. I am saying, he was used for those purposes because he was a goon - he was good at fighting and pushing players around, NOT SCORING/PASSING/SHOOTING ETC

And Lindros' fragility is not at question, I'm referring to when he WAS healthy

[tjcurrie]

@vvbn7890 Since when is being one of the league's premier shut down defensemen considered a goon ? The guy was nominated for a Norris Trophy and was a 2nd Team All-Star. It's not very often that a purely defensive defenseman gets that credit. We'll have to go back to 1983 and 1984 when Rod Langway won back to back Norris trophies. He was strictly a defensive defenseman, his numbers those years were the same as Hatcher's and that was in the high scoring 80s. Was Langway a goon ?

[UncleSlam81]

@thaboysarebackintown Yeah keep in mind that Lindros took about 1,000 more blows to the head than Fleury ever did. You tend to become a bit "brittle" over time when every game you play you're either getting punched, elbowed or taking a stick to the head or face. You think you'd hold up as well as Lindros did when pretty much every hockey goon in the league is taking cheap shots at you on a nightly basis? Lindros took on the league every night; Fleury's altercations were few and far between.

[snarfizzle]

@UncleSlam81

this speaks volumes to the guys intelligence. if he played smarter, he wouldnt have had to take those thousand hits to the head. ape of a hockey player is derp. dont defend him.

[FlyersFan17]

To the ref: FUCK YOU DUDE. Let the 2 monsters go at it.

[Bizzangle]

they did go at it and Lindros held on for dear life and kicked Hatcher in the calf. Dirtiest move I have ever seen. What a cunt. What a dirty cheapshot asshole. Just go watch their other fight and around the 20 second mark Lindros tries to "slew-foot" him. He deserved every concussion he ever got. what a sack of shit!

[B0Swagger]

Wow, someone is jealous lol go back to drinking your beer and beating your fat wife

[lindrosboss]

but shut the fuck up ! you're the shit in the sack

[Zaphrod88]

I would personally like to thank the linesman for putting an end to what could have been a entertaining moment in hockey.
