Konstantinov can STILL beat the shit out of that pussy Baby Eric. Eric Lindros is a little crybaby who calls his racist antiseminist mommy whenever something goes wrong for him.
Respect to Konstantinov for getting up. There aren't a lot of people who could take that hit and get up like he did. Sure, he's woozy and kinda out of it, but he gets up by himself. Respect.
No one seems to mention that the beast that was Konstantinov got up and was still trying his ass off to play the puck. How many of you could take that Lindros hit and get right up?
@babiesmakinbabies do me a favor. Look to ur right at the vid titled 'Lindros buries Vlad Konstantinov". You can clearly see in the slowmo replay that there was no elbow. He took a lot of force to his head and was crushed against the boards, but still no elbow...
TO ALL YOU TOOLBAGS THAT THINK LINDROS WAS DIRTY. HE WAS JUST A BIG MEAN SON OF BITCH THAT COULD SKATE AND SCORE. HE PUNISHED EVERY DOUCHEBAG IN THE NHL THAT DISHED OUT ALL THE CHEAP SHIT. STEVENS,KASPARITIS,DOMI, ETC. SHOULD I GO ON. UNFORTUNATELY, HE WAS CONCUSSION PRONE. YOU WILL NEVER SEE ANOTHER PLAYER LIKE HIM. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
We won't see another player like him because the next NHL player who gets that many concussions will be locked in teh "Quiet Room" Forever under league rule.
Lindros was hunting Konstantinov this whole series, because Vladdy was embarrassing him. So... big fucking deal, he finally got a clear lane and ran him into the boards with a dirty hit. Suits the type of dirty, behind the play cocksucker that Lindros was.
And the Wings owned this series. So really, if you're going to talk 14-year-old shit, at the very least get your facts straight.
Hey moron, as much as you hate Lindros that is what ended his career was concussions, think about this too you idiot Crosby is maybe 5-11" at the most and Konstantinov is about 6-5". Glad you hate Crosby that means he is doing his job.
Crosby's job is to be a strong, admirable leader for his team, not to be a slashing, crosschecking, mouthy little bitch after every play because good defensemen aren't letting him play "Princess Cindy on Ice". He's a bad captain and a classless player, no mistake.
Steve Yzerman will always put him to shame in every way.
@bluehaven100 You obviously don't understand hockey, or concussions whatsoever...people as stupid as you should not be allowed to speak in a public setting, its embarrassing.
@bluehaven100 Doesnt matter, crosby (even though i fucking hate him) has a concussion, you can easily die from a concussion, but if he risked going out on the ice with one and got another, that is even more extremely risky buddy.
@judopuns Very well put. I am not a fan of Crosby, either, but I do not want to see him, or any other player, permanently injured. Only the complete LOSER FANS make those bullshit comments. Pussies one and all.
Ive lived my entire life in Detroit minus 10 years in St Louis (another great hockey fanbase that I had to grow to love) but Lindros DOES make full contact at a 90 degree angle to the face and NOT on the numbers! He had possesion of the puck! I would love to say a bunch of nasty shet about Lindros but he stole a great hit on Vlad no matter how you shake it. He was slow on the draw and what you see is what you get. Thats hockey. I dont like to see it, but it is what it is.
What was so great about that hit? With all the time Konstantinov was standing there, it gave Lindros more than enough time to get 2+ strides in toward Konstantinov (charging) Then, he brought is one elbow up. (Elbowing) That should have been at the very least a 2 minute minor, but more than likely a 5 minute major. The reason why it wasn't is because Lindros was Canadian and Konstantinov was Russian. Roenick hit Konstantinov earlier that year when he was with the Blackhawks. No penalty.
Konstantinov was a good player. He was most known for his effective hip checks. This is the irony though because Vladimir was usually the one reminding you to keep your head up. Comes around goes around.
I used to love Lindros , he was my favorite as kid..... I remember during the olympics one year Don Cherry ran a clip of one of his shifts against some Euros and he had about 3 of these hits on guys on a forecheck!
@88BigEtrain I was a big Lindros fan, my kind of player, it may have been a good hit against the boards in terms of pure physicality, but those are the kind that get people hurt and should have been a major penalty if it wasn't. A guy standing on the boards shouldn't be run like that, anyone can do that. Open ice hits show a guys skill... which Lindros had plenty.
@albertda One of the greatest hits against the boards you will have ever seen,period.Only Lindros could hit like that-just with the power of his body,force,timing and style.Textbook hit.
@Nash84 Now, that's an absolutely,positively hillarious comment.Konstantinov's reaction says it all"What the hell was that!?"E-train ran over you,Vladdy.
If Vladimir Konstantinov hadn't been in that horrible car accident, we would probably be talking about him today much like we do Scott Stevens. He was just emerging as a force of a defenseman when tragedy struck. The Red Wings might have won even more cups.
"Boards rattled,the glass shakes..."Hell yeah,hardest hitter ever,live on Fox.Konstantinov had never gotten hit his hard before,I'm sure.Well,he felt the Etrain right there.Eric could smash people against the boards like nobody else.His timing would always be top notch,would hardly ever fall after any body contact.
@88BigEtrain His timing was always top notch? Hardly ever fell after contact? You must be joking. The Etrain got rattled more than anyone I've ever seen. In fact, he got rattled right out of his own career, mainly due to the lack of tissue between his ears.
@darkknight91 Dude,why don't you open your eyes and watch more of Lindros hits and plays?Because then you'll stop making silly comments like that.And,why shouldn't have he been rattled!?Of course he was.So what!?Lindros got back to them.Payback time,big time.Oh,I just stole a line from Fox's guys.Well,I think you have good eyes,you just play blind and refuse to admit the obvious.Too bad.Lindros' plays as recorded don't lie,the fans can get to see them for themselves all over again.
@88BigEtrain I don't have to watch his plays and hits again. I saw them while he was playing. A talented player with lots of potential, for sure, but he lacked the brains to be an all-time great. You've got him built up in your mind that he was a god. He was far from it. If he didn't have the size he had, his career wouldn't have lasted as long as it did.
@darkknight91 Actually he had everything.He was a flawless,perfect player,one of a kind.Headhunters,hopeless,desperate players went after his head as that was the only spot on is body they wouldn't bounce off of as they tried to hit him body on body.You can't make a comment abot his size like that.his size was given.One of the reasons I became a die-hard fan of his.He had terrific skills and incredibly fast for his size.Couldn't be caught,couldn't be stopped.A human machine.
@88BigEtrain Your statement is ridiculous. He WAS stopped. That's why his career ended early. He was rattled repeatedly by guys half his size because he was too stupid to keep his head up. He got swept in the Cup by the Wings when they were heavily favored. Why is it a guy like Larionov played until he was 40 who was a midget compared to EL? Because he was smart. E wasn't. Every concussion was HIS fault. One or two is one thing, but he got smoked every year. Never learned. He was dumb.
@darkknight91 Yeah he was stopped -illegaly.Don't give me that crap about keeping his head up.Every and each player has their head down at certain moments so they can have a better control of the puck.Are you ready for a list of players who keep their head down when they carry the puck down the ice?Because it'd be pretty long,i guarantee you that.Rattled,yeah right.They'd bounce right off of him if body on body.When Lindros didn't look they'd hit him so obviously his body wasn't ready for a hit.
@88BigEtrain Kasparaitis - LEGAL Stevens - LEGAL Tkachuk - LEGAL Numerous others to count. He was dumb. His brother was even dumber. Wouldn't fight a fighter. When he did, he got pounded by McSorley. Dude, get a grip on reality. You've never played hockey, have you? I can tell by your dumb comments.
@darkknight91You need to get a grip on reality, big time.You just don't get a couple of facts here-All those hits targeted Lindros' head as the only bodypart that the players wouldn't bounce off of like tennis balls off the wall.THEY WEREN"T ABLE TO STOP him otherwise.You really want that long list of players with their head down.I guess all forwards are dumb with your logic.Wouldn't fight a fighter!?Amusing,truly.Lindros wasn't drafted to fight you moron.He did goddamn well for No.1 overall.
@88BigEtrain Big E was a Big D. Disappointment. Anyone skating with their head down is gonna get plowed. Anyone that plays hockey knows that. For a non-fighter he sure fought a lot. Guys half his size. LOL! I can tell you've never played the game. Your career would've ended sooner than his. You could be sitting at home with him watching reruns of Lost. Cuz that's where your brain is. Idiot.
@darkknight91 Dude you have no clue what a disappointment means.I mean you're too lazy to think what players have been a disapointment.You're blinded with hating and bashing Lindros.I'm not up to responding your constant pointless"head up argument".The only guy who apparently never played hockey is you.I mean there are obvious signs there.Guys half his size?Amusing.Truly.You're a definition of ignorance,period.
@88BigEtrain You won't respond because you can't. Your ignorance and lack of hockey experience is showing. Hockey 101: Keep your head up, especially when crossing the blue line with the puck. Any coach will tell you that. It's amazing a guy like Lindros made it to the NHL and still never got that rule down. And it's more amazing that the guy swinging from EL's nutsack can't understand it after he got plowed so many times doing the opposite and ended his career because of it. Good job, genius.
@darkknight91 Again,you obviously never played hockey otherwise you'd know that it's natural for every forward and I stress the word forward to look down or keep his head down at times to have a better control of the puck.Simple.Lindros was all alone and btw looked up to see who was around him and avoided Niedermayer that way.Then as he was reaching for the puck to poke it up to LeClair,Stevens pulled off that shit coming way from his left side.This garbage is a synonym for the intent to injure.
@88BigEtrain I played for 16 years. You're the one that's obviously never played. Keep the head up. You're career won't end early. You never seen Sakic, Yzerman, Gretzky, Forsberg, Fedorov, Selanne, Datsyuk, Lemieux, etc. with their heads down. You're wrong and you're boy was wrong. That's why he's sitting at home with his brother playing Tiddlywinks instead of polishing the Cup. He'll never be in that group of players. He was too dumb. He thought his size alone would make him a winner. Wrong.
@darkknight91 Dude,let me tell you this and it's pretty simple actually.It's like telling a cook-an apprentice about dangers in the kitchen or a cop what the dangers are,they're taught, in theory,how to best avoid accidents.Guess what ,they'll still happen,even to the best of them.The game is so fast,way faster than the one you allegedly played in,so things happen in insane speed.Players you named never keeping their head down!?You're out of your mind.Man,they did.Every single one of them.
@darkknight91 Fine with me.It was becoming more and more pointless.The matter of fact is,as I think about it more and more,that anyone who talks about players keeping their head down is naive and out of touch with reality on the ice.
bottom line people...Lindros HAD to play the game the way he did cause other cheap shot artists such as Stevens,Jovanovski,and Konstantinov himself to protect hisself and to provide the his team with the intimidation and the spark they needed to win the game.It grows very tiring to read posts that Lindros was dirty,watch the Flyers?Panthers 96/97 playoff run,the Panthers were dirty as hell,sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to survive...point blank
Hockey since the days of Bourque, Orr, Lindros, and all the other amazing players like roi and Joey S and all the greats. man there was so many, times are definetly changin
@fuckoffndie1 hate to break it to you bro but during their entire careers Eric Lindros took more punishment from Vladi that the other way around. Vladi was always jacking Lindros but have to give credit where it is due. Lindros cleaned his clock for him on this one.
You couldn't be more blind.Totally clean hit.You're affected by Eric's size.I understand that.And obviously you got it all wrong.Total majority of Eric's hits were delightful,clean,hard hits.
lolololol you're such a moron. Look dude, I understand Lindros is your favorite player, but you have to understand that your love for him completely and totally blinds you. I don't think I've encountered more obvious bias on youtube before. If it weren't for your name, I'd think you were just trolling.
Can't help but notice most of 88's big hits involve him slamming peoples heads into the glass. While he seemed to get his eggs scrambled on the open ice hits. For a guy that big, he was pretty cheap IMO.
Do some thinking first,alright?How on earth was Eric supposed to hit!?Slouch, or crouch,perhaps!?He took a full advantage of his size and used it big time.Best hitter ever,the most complete player ever and the best power forward,no doubt.Yeah,they liked his head and couldn't hit him otherwise,pathetic losers.
That's O.K. Konstantinov Leveled the cheap shot artist lindross too! Along with most of the rest of the flyers that year during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Vladdy could dish it out and Take it.
Yeah,Eric was able to take any hit and not only that,he would make himself appear like a brick wall that opponents would either run into and fall or bounce off of several feet away from the impact.Knowing that,an asshole Stevens premeditated something that didn't require nothing more than desperation and frustration-a headshot.He's the best headhunter ever,but not the best hitter.That compliment belongs to BigE.
The boards rattle,glass shakes-synonym for the hits by the best and hardest hitter ever.This one is a thing of art,clean against the boards,using a body,no one could hit this way like Eric.
Ha, he also knew how to take one. couldn't keep his damn head up. Great player but Scott Stevens had his # and basically ended his career. Scott Stevens is by far the best open ice hitter to ever play the game.
@88BigEtrain Nah, he was just a big body. Cheap hit though, it was a charge right to the head. Should have gotten kicked out, it was intent to injure.
Big body,he knew how to use it,hitting people cleanly,Konstantinov happened to be shorter,that wasn't Eric problem.If you want to kick somebody out for a hit,go right ahead and kick out that asshole Stevens.There is your hit into the head with the intent to injury as obvious as rain coming to Seattle.
@88BigEtrain ---Wow, really? I count maybe 3 good years from him, in between his eight concussions. Better fighter? Not so much. For someone with that much talent, his career resume doesn't look too impressive. He was a poor man's Messier, and he was about 1/8 the leader Mess was. As far as hitting goes, Lindros was a big, clumsy freight train. Almost twice as many PIMs as points. Using your stick and slamming faces into glass will get you there.
Maybe three good years from him!?I see,you're trying to tease me and making me look out of the picture.Well you're out of it and you're talking about some other player.Perhaps you had lived in a cave until recently.Best fighter,period.Clumsy?Laughable.Try something better.Obviously when you get against the glass your head will hit it.Eric is 6'5".Think.
Uhh yeah. Three years with over 90 points. Do you measure his greatness by 1) Stanley Cup wins(0) 2) MVP's (1)
3)Point production--(67 points per season over 13 years)
or 4)number of hair plugs in his head(too many to count)
Look at his career and it screams journeyman. Four teams, 13 years, no cups. AVERAGE. I guess if you look good on youtube you're an icon. Stats don't lie bro. Oh and best fighter....he bit Marty McSoreley....what a badass!!
His greatness!?How about this-5th fastest player in history to amass 500 points,J.Ross Robertson Cup,Memorial Cup,E.Powers Memorial trophy,R.Tilson trophy,CHL player of the year,his jersey retired by Oshawa Generals as only second number to be retired,Hart trophy,Lester B.Pearson award,4 B.Clarke trophies,6 All-Star games,missed his second Hart,because he scored less goals than Jagr that year,three gold medals.You're right about one thing-stats don't lie.Your last argument is the weakest one.
I'm not finished yet.How about this for impression-before losers such as Stevens started headhunting him,his pts per gm were 1.36,retired still with an amazing rate of way over 1pt per game,one of the best face-off players ever over easily over 55% of success,one of the hardest slap shots,the most accurate wristers,great overall shooting %.Obviously you deliberately left out my first argument of his greatness,which makes him great itself
@rkirk112898 he had twice as many penalty minutes than points but he still has similar points to paul kariya and peter forseberg, oh wait they were never any good......
@88BigEtrain LOL! You're such a tool. Lindros ALWAYS went for the headcheck. I watched like 8 videos last night of him "destroying" people. All of them started with him skating out of his way, and ended with him driving someone's head into the glass who no longer had the puck.
Stop being to biased. Best hitter ever? ROFL! Best Power Forward ever? HAHA! Most complete player ever? LMAO!
You keep mistaking Lindros with that headhunter Stevens.Get it straight.Total majority of Eric's hits were clean,hard,right on target,thing of art.Eric perfected and symbolized what old-fashioned canadian hit means.
@88BigEtrain Lol, nope. I'm talking about Lindros. #88 Eric Lindros was a dirty headhunter. You just hate Stevens because he fucked Lindros' world up with a clean open ice hit. Stevens isn't a head hunter; maybe if Lindros hadn't been crouched over looking at his feet this wouldn't have happened.
You didn't get me.That's alright.Stevens premeditated his hit well,he had waited for the right moment.I mean,he had plenty of years to do it.Eric came back from a concussion and was an immediate,unstoppable threat for the Devils.Stevens is a headhunter,simply because he went after players' heads.I wonder what made Eric to be bent over at the time of the hit.....Well,it's pretty easy to know why.
Each and every player has their head down as they carry the puck down the ice.Obviously,i'm limited by space here to name out all players in the nhl.Your argument is validated only by people who are too lazy to think about things.
what a tough dude man, got up right away, didn't lay around on the ice like some of these guys do. you don't see hockey like that anymore, miss vlady!
@jangster39 what the fuck are you talking about, did u see toews get hit last year at centre ice by mitchell and he stood right back up, kid is like early 20s and won a cup. im sick of hearing oh this aint wat it used to be in my day..
I don't know why that would be illegal by today's standards? It was from the front, no elbow, skates didn't leave the ice, puck was at his feet, primary contact was shoulder to shoulder. I suppose it could be charging but we really can't tell from the camera angle, and from what little we get to see it doesn't look like charging.
That's terrible man. He's permanently paralyzed because of that accident. Are you really that fucking shitty of a human being that'd you say something like that just because your fucking disgrace of a hockey team got swept by the Wings?

@albertda One of the greatest hits against the boards you will have ever seen,period.Only Lindros could hit like that-just with the power of his body,force,timing and style.Textbook hit.

If Vladimir Konstantinov hadn't been in that horrible car accident, we would probably be talking about him today much like we do Scott Stevens. He was just emerging as a force of a defenseman when tragedy struck. The Red Wings might have won even more cups.

"Boards rattled,the glass shakes..."Hell yeah,hardest hitter ever,live on Fox.Konstantinov had never gotten hit his hard before,I'm sure.Well,he felt the Etrain right there.Eric could smash people against the boards like nobody else.His timing would always be top notch,would hardly ever fall after any body contact.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain His timing was always top notch? Hardly ever fell after contact? You must be joking. The Etrain got rattled more than anyone I've ever seen. In fact, he got rattled right out of his own career, mainly due to the lack of tissue between his ears.
darkknight91 1 year ago
@darkknight91 Dude,why don't you open your eyes and watch more of Lindros hits and plays?Because then you'll stop making silly comments like that.And,why shouldn't have he been rattled!?Of course he was.So what!?Lindros got back to them.Payback time,big time.Oh,I just stole a line from Fox's guys.Well,I think you have good eyes,you just play blind and refuse to admit the obvious.Too bad.Lindros' plays as recorded don't lie,the fans can get to see them for themselves all over again.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain I don't have to watch his plays and hits again. I saw them while he was playing. A talented player with lots of potential, for sure, but he lacked the brains to be an all-time great. You've got him built up in your mind that he was a god. He was far from it. If he didn't have the size he had, his career wouldn't have lasted as long as it did.
darkknight91 1 year ago
@darkknight91 Actually he had everything.He was a flawless,perfect player,one of a kind.Headhunters,hopeless,desperate players went after his head as that was the only spot on is body they wouldn't bounce off of as they tried to hit him body on body.You can't make a comment abot his size like that.his size was given.One of the reasons I became a die-hard fan of his.He had terrific skills and incredibly fast for his size.Couldn't be caught,couldn't be stopped.A human machine.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain Your statement is ridiculous. He WAS stopped. That's why his career ended early. He was rattled repeatedly by guys half his size because he was too stupid to keep his head up. He got swept in the Cup by the Wings when they were heavily favored. Why is it a guy like Larionov played until he was 40 who was a midget compared to EL? Because he was smart. E wasn't. Every concussion was HIS fault. One or two is one thing, but he got smoked every year. Never learned. He was dumb.
darkknight91 1 year ago
@darkknight91 Yeah he was stopped -illegaly.Don't give me that crap about keeping his head up.Every and each player has their head down at certain moments so they can have a better control of the puck.Are you ready for a list of players who keep their head down when they carry the puck down the ice?Because it'd be pretty long,i guarantee you that.Rattled,yeah right.They'd bounce right off of him if body on body.When Lindros didn't look they'd hit him so obviously his body wasn't ready for a hit.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain Kasparaitis - LEGAL Stevens - LEGAL Tkachuk - LEGAL Numerous others to count. He was dumb. His brother was even dumber. Wouldn't fight a fighter. When he did, he got pounded by McSorley. Dude, get a grip on reality. You've never played hockey, have you? I can tell by your dumb comments.
darkknight91 1 year ago
@darkknight91You need to get a grip on reality, big time.You just don't get a couple of facts here-All those hits targeted Lindros' head as the only bodypart that the players wouldn't bounce off of like tennis balls off the wall.THEY WEREN"T ABLE TO STOP him otherwise.You really want that long list of players with their head down.I guess all forwards are dumb with your logic.Wouldn't fight a fighter!?Amusing,truly.Lindros wasn't drafted to fight you moron.He did goddamn well for No.1 overall.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain Big E was a Big D. Disappointment. Anyone skating with their head down is gonna get plowed. Anyone that plays hockey knows that. For a non-fighter he sure fought a lot. Guys half his size. LOL! I can tell you've never played the game. Your career would've ended sooner than his. You could be sitting at home with him watching reruns of Lost. Cuz that's where your brain is. Idiot.
darkknight91 1 year ago
@darkknight91 Dude you have no clue what a disappointment means.I mean you're too lazy to think what players have been a disapointment.You're blinded with hating and bashing Lindros.I'm not up to responding your constant pointless"head up argument".The only guy who apparently never played hockey is you.I mean there are obvious signs there.Guys half his size?Amusing.Truly.You're a definition of ignorance,period.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain You won't respond because you can't. Your ignorance and lack of hockey experience is showing. Hockey 101: Keep your head up, especially when crossing the blue line with the puck. Any coach will tell you that. It's amazing a guy like Lindros made it to the NHL and still never got that rule down. And it's more amazing that the guy swinging from EL's nutsack can't understand it after he got plowed so many times doing the opposite and ended his career because of it. Good job, genius.
darkknight91 1 year ago
@darkknight91 Again,you obviously never played hockey otherwise you'd know that it's natural for every forward and I stress the word forward to look down or keep his head down at times to have a better control of the puck.Simple.Lindros was all alone and btw looked up to see who was around him and avoided Niedermayer that way.Then as he was reaching for the puck to poke it up to LeClair,Stevens pulled off that shit coming way from his left side.This garbage is a synonym for the intent to injure.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain I played for 16 years. You're the one that's obviously never played. Keep the head up. You're career won't end early. You never seen Sakic, Yzerman, Gretzky, Forsberg, Fedorov, Selanne, Datsyuk, Lemieux, etc. with their heads down. You're wrong and you're boy was wrong. That's why he's sitting at home with his brother playing Tiddlywinks instead of polishing the Cup. He'll never be in that group of players. He was too dumb. He thought his size alone would make him a winner. Wrong.
darkknight91 1 year ago
@darkknight91 Dude,let me tell you this and it's pretty simple actually.It's like telling a cook-an apprentice about dangers in the kitchen or a cop what the dangers are,they're taught, in theory,how to best avoid accidents.Guess what ,they'll still happen,even to the best of them.The game is so fast,way faster than the one you allegedly played in,so things happen in insane speed.Players you named never keeping their head down!?You're out of your mind.Man,they did.Every single one of them.

bottom line people...Lindros HAD to play the game the way he did cause other cheap shot artists such as Stevens,Jovanovski,and Konstantinov himself to protect hisself and to provide the his team with the intimidation and the spark they needed to win the game.It grows very tiring to read posts that Lindros was dirty,watch the Flyers?Panthers 96/97 playoff run,the Panthers were dirty as hell,sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to survive...point blank

Can't help but notice most of 88's big hits involve him slamming peoples heads into the glass. While he seemed to get his eggs scrambled on the open ice hits. For a guy that big, he was pretty cheap IMO.
rkirk112898 2 years ago
Do some thinking first,alright?How on earth was Eric supposed to hit!?Slouch, or crouch,perhaps!?He took a full advantage of his size and used it big time.Best hitter ever,the most complete player ever and the best power forward,no doubt.Yeah,they liked his head and couldn't hit him otherwise,pathetic losers.
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
That's O.K. Konstantinov Leveled the cheap shot artist lindross too! Along with most of the rest of the flyers that year during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Vladdy could dish it out and Take it.
PA28140 2 years ago
Yeah,Eric was able to take any hit and not only that,he would make himself appear like a brick wall that opponents would either run into and fall or bounce off of several feet away from the impact.Knowing that,an asshole Stevens premeditated something that didn't require nothing more than desperation and frustration-a headshot.He's the best headhunter ever,but not the best hitter.That compliment belongs to BigE.
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
The boards rattle,glass shakes-synonym for the hits by the best and hardest hitter ever.This one is a thing of art,clean against the boards,using a body,no one could hit this way like Eric.

Ha, he also knew how to take one. couldn't keep his damn head up. Great player but Scott Stevens had his # and basically ended his career. Scott Stevens is by far the best open ice hitter to ever play the game.

Big body,he knew how to use it,hitting people cleanly,Konstantinov happened to be shorter,that wasn't Eric problem.If you want to kick somebody out for a hit,go right ahead and kick out that asshole Stevens.There is your hit into the head with the intent to injury as obvious as rain coming to Seattle.
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
@88BigEtrain ---Wow, really? I count maybe 3 good years from him, in between his eight concussions. Better fighter? Not so much. For someone with that much talent, his career resume doesn't look too impressive. He was a poor man's Messier, and he was about 1/8 the leader Mess was. As far as hitting goes, Lindros was a big, clumsy freight train. Almost twice as many PIMs as points. Using your stick and slamming faces into glass will get you there.
rkirk112898 2 years ago 5
Maybe three good years from him!?I see,you're trying to tease me and making me look out of the picture.Well you're out of it and you're talking about some other player.Perhaps you had lived in a cave until recently.Best fighter,period.Clumsy?Laughable.Try something better.Obviously when you get against the glass your head will hit it.Eric is 6'5".Think.
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
@88BigEtrain
Uhh yeah. Three years with over 90 points. Do you measure his greatness by 1) Stanley Cup wins(0) 2) MVP's (1)
3)Point production--(67 points per season over 13 years)
or 4)number of hair plugs in his head(too many to count)
Look at his career and it screams journeyman. Four teams, 13 years, no cups. AVERAGE. I guess if you look good on youtube you're an icon. Stats don't lie bro. Oh and best fighter....he bit Marty McSoreley....what a badass!!
rkirk112898 2 years ago
His greatness!?How about this-5th fastest player in history to amass 500 points,J.Ross Robertson Cup,Memorial Cup,E.Powers Memorial trophy,R.Tilson trophy,CHL player of the year,his jersey retired by Oshawa Generals as only second number to be retired,Hart trophy,Lester B.Pearson award,4 B.Clarke trophies,6 All-Star games,missed his second Hart,because he scored less goals than Jagr that year,three gold medals.You're right about one thing-stats don't lie.Your last argument is the weakest one.

-#88 retired by his junior team, the Oshawa Generals (who cares?)

I'm not finished yet.How about this for impression-before losers such as Stevens started headhunting him,his pts per gm were 1.36,retired still with an amazing rate of way over 1pt per game,one of the best face-off players ever over easily over 55% of success,one of the hardest slap shots,the most accurate wristers,great overall shooting %.Obviously you deliberately left out my first argument of his greatness,which makes him great itself

@88BigEtrain LOL! You're such a tool. Lindros ALWAYS went for the headcheck. I watched like 8 videos last night of him "destroying" people. All of them started with him skating out of his way, and ended with him driving someone's head into the glass who no longer had the puck.
Stop being to biased. Best hitter ever? ROFL! Best Power Forward ever? HAHA! Most complete player ever? LMAO!
bishoppx 2 years ago
You keep mistaking Lindros with that headhunter Stevens.Get it straight.Total majority of Eric's hits were clean,hard,right on target,thing of art.Eric perfected and symbolized what old-fashioned canadian hit means.
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
@88BigEtrain Lol, nope. I'm talking about Lindros. #88 Eric Lindros was a dirty headhunter. You just hate Stevens because he fucked Lindros' world up with a clean open ice hit. Stevens isn't a head hunter; maybe if Lindros hadn't been crouched over looking at his feet this wouldn't have happened.
bishoppx 2 years ago
You didn't get me.That's alright.Stevens premeditated his hit well,he had waited for the right moment.I mean,he had plenty of years to do it.Eric came back from a concussion and was an immediate,unstoppable threat for the Devils.Stevens is a headhunter,simply because he went after players' heads.I wonder what made Eric to be bent over at the time of the hit.....Well,it's pretty easy to know why.
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
@88BigEtrain He was looking at the puck like he always did. Dumb move by him and Stevens made him play.
