Eric Lindros vs Lee Norwood 1st NHL Fight

[IDFrules]

I remember in an interview later, Norwood said Lindros was so big & strong it was like wrestling a bear.....too bad Lindros never lived up to the hype

[Slkwilly42]

well as everyone can see with concussions to crosby and giroux and pronger, etc....its more than just skating with your head up, the NHL needs to do more to protect the players

[EastSide2894]

@LtSykes that is true. here in philly we have made the playoffs 14 out of the past 15 seasons.

[88BigEtrain]

Lindros,in his very first fight,demonstrated how he cared about his teammates and their well-being.Only paying an attention to details will show you that he was sticking up for his teammate Hynes,and we all know that he didn't have to do so.I bet my rent that Lee didn't expect fight like that.Lindros had just entered the NHL with that fight,and from there on, his dominance began.

[TheFrijoleExperience]

Both spent their junior years with the Oshawa Generals. I know... who cares!?!

Why do the flyers suck balls but they can fight really good that makes no sense

[LtSykes]

@TAZ9499 The Flyers have had very few seasons where they suck balls. It's actually pretty common in Philly for the team to be in the playoffs.

[mrkrl]

Norwwod was a no talent loser! Like anyone else that plays for the Blows!

[MrJuha82]

Its all Lindros show, hes CLEAR WINNer int his one.

Lindros used well usually his hands, throwing those short but sharp right-hands mostly.

Also he could to throw a bigger punch if he wanted.

And all the guys knew he was very strong guy and BIG.

[Leiflvr]

Man if he could have stayed healthy what a monster that guy would have been. Such lost potential.

[saboasarse]

One of the best guys to wear orange.

[Gr33nFather]

Lindros was a monster, hate it when he faces my local team the montreal canadiens because he beat the crap out of us

[jackslicl100]

@Gr33nFather he didnt want anything to do with tony twist. and eric liked to slip out of his jersey.

[cowboyzsuk81]

Norwood was like, damn that kid can fight haha

[Vantage08]

He was smiling bc he didn't want people to think he got his ass kicked by a 18 year old lol. " I let you win" LOL then I still want a piece as the ref is protecting me LOL.

[Propagandhi900]

Norwood was jsut surprised Lindros stood up for himself.

"ill be damned" sort of face.

[jasonmurray8899]

i think buddy was smiling at the end because he didn't think Lindros was that tough

[itsthatguy12]

Lee Norwood was smiling, as if to say "welcome to the NHL kid"

[Zaphrod88]

Norwood didn't even attempt to through a single punch. What kind of welcome is that? Welcome to the NHL kid, I'm scared to death of you?

[itsthatguy12]

Whatever. Norwood is 13 years older and Lindros didn't really do any damage. So, I would say he wasn't really that scared.

[jonezy441788]

yea welcome to the nhl, thanks for ragdolling me all over the ice like a little girl

[Zaphrod88]

Lindros was the most dominant player in his day. But, yes after the confusions built up, he fell off the pace. But for a about 8 years there, he dominated in all aspects of the game. He could score, he could hit like no one else, and he could fight. Name another player like that in his time.

[GalilGade]

100% agreed! He dominated during his years with the Flyers. If only he would have held his head up things would have been different. Eric Lindros will always be my favorite player

[aronron2727]

@GalilGade

come on.

he dominated only veryfew years, and he was known to be mean and rather stupid.

everybody in the nhl hated this guy.

his mom was still bossing him even when he was in the nhl.

mommy guy...

[idfeekid]

lindros is the most overrated player to come along!

he sucked and had a head made mush!

[BigOnes98]

[khav11]
