Eric Lindros vs Darius Kasparaitis

[JFSMotherland]

dont fuck with lindros

[BlackandGold84]

Kasperitis... ulf samuelsson the second generation.

[apxeli]

Never liked Lindros. Kaspar is a great checker.

[offthelinegt]

adda boy eric!

[TheJman6360]

Well since Kasparitis can't fight he waited until Lindros's head was down to hit him... What a coward!

[lurchutube]

Why is it the best shots I have seen Lindros land were either before they gloves or after the ref already wrapped up the other guy?

[Carlino22]

Yeah I wouldn't want to fight Lindros either. One punch and he'd be concussed. I'd feel bad

[Philly2002]

@Carlino22 Nice joke, faggot.

[morgantheron1]

i dont blame kasparitus for the somewhat cheap play, you have to do what it takes for your country. but the refs should have known the circumstance and allowed them to fight once it started to allow lindros a chance at redemption.

[circusmonkey10]

Lindros would have destroyed him if the refs had let it go.

[pyk420biatch]

@circusmonkey10 Kasparaitis can more than hold his own, and not to mention how many times did he destroy lindros in his career.

[metarika2]

Kaspy was such a piece of shit. It pained me to no end when he was playing along side 66. What a blemish on the Stanley Cup!

[pyk420biatch]

@metarika2 Well that is your opinion, just like its my opinon you are a moron for thinking he is a piece of shit like you know him.

[metarika2]

@pyk420biatch I'm not sure if I should call you Mr Biatch or Ms Biatch, but either way ... a hockey players on-ice personality is a really good indication of their off-ice personality, and he played like a fucking asshole his whole career, so I'm not sure what you're confused about.

I guess you're going to tell me Matthew Barnaby and Dale Hunter were all upstanding citizens of their communities.

[pyk420biatch]

@metarika2 That is the dumbest shit I have ever heard. Because he plays the game tough that must mean he is a asshole. Well I gess Lindros is the biggest dick in the world.

[metarika2]

@pyk420biatch I guess you never watched him play.

[pyk420biatch]

@metarika2 Oh I watched him play, he was a undersized defenseman that straight up wrecked people. He played with a broken ankle! Lindros might have missed a few games getting hit in the shin pads or trying to hit someone smaller! HAHA the Avs are still laughing about the rape they got away with from the flyers! You can call me Mr or Ms biatch if you want. Big internet tough guy, amazing keyboard warrior. I love hockey but talk to me when your country can attempt to play any other sport!

[metarika2]

@pyk420biatch Whatever man, people have different opinions about different people, but every sportscaster I ever heard had the same opinion about Kaspy. There's a huge difference between playing tough and being an asshole.

First of all, hockey is the only sport, and second of all, with only 1/10 the US population, we got 14 gold medals in 2010, compared to your 9. Besides, are you talking about people who currently live in Canada/US, Native Indians, or descendants of the first pilgrims?

[pyk420biatch]

@metarika2 And if players like Barnaby were such horrible people, how is Barnaby on Tv for hockey until his recent drinking and driving? I dont see lindoros on tv ever! He is the past in hockey, except on youtube!

[metarika2]

@pyk420biatch How do you classify pretending to be hurt on the ice and waiting for the brawl so that he can jump up and go after the goalie? Don't forget that his was nicknamed The Rat (by one of his own teammates). He was on TV because he's "colourful" and perhaps entertaining. Tie Domi was also a sportscaster for a short period of time, but that doesn't mean he even came close to a Lady Bing.

Courtney Love and Jerry Springer have ALSO been on TV ...

[goldenoreo85]

Thats Russia. Gonchar never plaued for Lithuania

[Lasitsin72]

I would have killed Lindros. Verte me.

[TheSamps0n]

lindros fucked him up

[RJ8812]

Lindros outworks 3 ruskies with ease

[smazz104]

I think Kasparitus just went to swing and his glove came flying off and then realized WTF??? You can see as soon as his glove came off he just buried his head in Lindros' chest.

[dalundey]

was this before or after Kasparitus concussed Lindros in Pittsburgh??

also...Lithuania?? wtf?

[toekneeeyeoweme]

Douche vs. douche

[jabrolter15]

WTF? Lithuania? Try Russia.

[zilvinho84]

@jabrolter15 kaspa is from lithuania dumbass

[jabrolter15]

@zilvinho84 Maybe he was born there, but this game is between Canada and Russia.

[scumatron]

fuken retarded linesman should have stayed out of the fight

[NoAutographs2010]

@SoloAxe Did we watch the same video?

[SoloAxe]

What a bitch Kasparitis was, he dropped his glove first tried for a quick cheap shot then hit the deck like a coward

[CONTRAHABS]

@SoloAxe Like a coward? Doesn't Lindros look intimidating to you?

[offthelinegt]

Ohhhhhhhh Canada!

[steven4rmnewyork]

kasper was the best body checker in the league lindros is a big baby

[Madisonrvr]

was this fight before or after kaspar pasted him along the boards in an NHL game?

[TheAkmurda]

haha Lindros took down Darius and 2 refs!

[88BigEtrain]

What can I say,my man was simply one of a kind,out of this world.I mean Lindros is along the boards,Kasparaitis holding him and other two Russians are not able to take away the puck from him anyway.Lindros was the best along the boards,he knew where the puck would go,bounce,ricochet better than anybody else.Even when late to it,he'd get it back with his strength.Lindros was tired,he missed two punches and that saved Kasparaitis even more trouble.

[stormcrow7878]

Kaspar NEVER won fights, but that wasn't the point for him....if he got a Lindros or Messier to fight him, he knew that for 5 min. it was a better trade for his team. The fact that evryone on this message borad hates him proves he did exactly what he set out to do...which was drive people CRAZY.

[dudemyhommieg]

Survival Guide for Hockey : Rule Number 1, Dont fight a Canadian.

[stashJ8]

I have always hated that Lithuanian scumbag. If he gets drawn & quartered someday I would be the happiest person on earth.

[LeftTackle63]

Kaspy looked like the pussy he really was.

[oribasius]

kaspar would have destroyed him. stupid refs.

[Guizmo900]

@oribasius He was already getting beaten hahaha

[skydome29]

@oribasius with an eye gouge? Kasper was the nnhls shit stain

[minaeff07]

ебали Канаду!!!

[Nightrain76]

Lindros should have K.O.'d this punk right then and end his cheap shot career.

[drew19061]

@ KoivutheHab

Actually, both Kasparaitis and Zubrus are Lithuanian.

Way to call someone an idiot, while not knowing what you're talking about, yourself, though.

Nice work.

[znogypogy]

couldn't stand kasper, but i had to give him a little respect for even trying to fight lindros-eric was one bad MF back in the day.

[KoivuTheHab]

Canada vs Lithuania

Haha! What an idiot... Kasparaitis is Latvian but he chose to play for Russia for a realistic chance for medals at international events. Zubrus on the other hand in Lithuanian, interestingly enough he has also played for Russia in the yearly four team tournaments but they are not official IIHF games so it is possible with dual citizenship. I very much doubt Russia and Lithuania have ever played a hockey game against each other.

[iliuha1989]

keep the fight out of national competion or olympics. there shoudn't be any fight in these kind of tournaments, leave it in NHL

[hamburglar666]

like a bear

[xplastismx]

Boo Lindros

[kimokanka]

Lindros is one big boy though.....

[mduda96]

This is Canada vs. Russia, not Canada vs. Lithuania

[derekblank]

Was this before or after Kaspar leveled Lindros in regular season?

[wholewheatbagel]

lindros would have killed him. literally, like rosie odonell kills cheesburger platters.

[genahockey17]

@wholewheatbagel probably cuz hes twice his size... kaspi isnt scared of anybody, he would fight chara and not think twice about it he had balls of steel

[insanehockeyfan]

Linesman saved kaspys life right here.

[goat6668]

kaspar definitely held his own. beat lindros clean while he had the puck, lindros got frustrated and took a couple swings at him. hes got 6 inches on kaspar and probably 50 lbs. winner kasparaitis.

[metarika2]

@goat6668 I've never see the words "winner" and "Kasparaitis" in the same sentence! Besides, he didn't beat Lindros. There were 3 guys on Lindros, and you'll notice that most of what Kasparaitis did was just holding and interference. If 99% of the hockey world hates a player, then there's a good reason for it. Kasparaitis, Ulf Samulson, Mathew Barnaby, Sen Avery, Claude Lemieux ... these were all guys that were unethical, dirty, & focus on pissing off the other team, instead of on the sport.

[goat6668]

@metarika2 all the guys you named are great at what they do. its their role on the team. its like being mad at sandy mccarthy for focusing on fighting. avery, great player. lemieux, multiple stanley cup winner. ulf, same thing. kaspar never got a cup (as a pen or isle anyway, i know he went to the avs later), but hes one of the best hitters in nhl history and a silver medalist in the 98 olympics. and i wouldnt call what he did in this video holding and interference. it was legal back then.

[metarika2]

@goat6668 You're totally right about them being great at playing that role for their team, my problem is that I don't think that role belongs on any professional sports team? Is there any other sport that has a full-time "pest" role? I know in soccer they're all pests except for the one or 2 super-stars (who also play that role when they can), but besides soccer, what other sport DOESN'T concentrate solely on the skill of the sport?

[goat6668]

@metarika2 i hear what youre saying, yea. each sport is different. you can make an argument for football, with players like TO and chad johnson and such, they score and rub it in your face, so you want to do EVERYTHING to keep them out. its always in the back of your mind. basketball... well i dont really watch it anymore, but theres some real shit talkers in the league, and you know the other players want to beat them bad. baseball... who the fuck cares hahah. all ill say is that hockey is...

[goat6668]

@goat6668 the only sport where you can openly take out your anger on a player like that, and sometimes you can get the better of the pest, or sometimes they lay a big hit on one of your players and you retaliate and your down a man for 2 mins. thats why theyre there. should they be in the league? maybe the bad ones shouldnt, but some of them can actually play. avery can put the puck in the net when he needs to for sure.

[smittee666]

kas the vag

[TheJman6360]

Kasperitis was hands down the biggest coward in the league!!!

[ManitobaMooseJets]

Just for the Record as a Manitoban I'm against the NHL coming back here because our wages are the lowest in the land and makes it impossible to afford to bring your whole family to a game

[Nightrain76]

Get out of there linesmen!!!

[RJ8812]

lindros outworking 3 russians, lol

[chiekurs16]

lol Canada vs Lithuania ???

[TomytoNTF]

@chiekurs16

Kasparaitis is a Lithuanian

[chiekurs16]

@TomytoNTF Actually he is Lithuanian with Russian nationality. He has never played in Lithuanian natoanal team. lithuania has never played and will never play in so high level against Canada. Cuz result would be very big. Latvia even beated Lithuania with 29:0. What would be against Canada. lol

[maxicus495]

@chiekurs16 He is a russian hockey player!!!

[chiekurs16]

@maxicus495 Yes he is. I said that lol

He is Lithuanian with Russian nationality. He born as a Lithuanian. But hes a fucking Russian now. Youre right.

[Dannomack]

love this. payback should have been more vicious tho.

[TheVladinator16]

Kasper got the last laugh watch#!v=tylu3vEWwE4

[chiekurs16]

@TheVladinator16 Dont laugh about that cuz Lindros had brain bamage after that.

[sprintlate5G]

Hey ramone it wasn't a cheeap shot. Look at how tight lindros helmet is. He learned his lesson. Kasparitus is a badass

[PhillyPhunk]

wow youre a tool .... trying to defend the biggest coward to ever play the game. a "badass" ... lol maybe he was badass fucking your mouth but nobody else gave him head so hes still a coawrd. Def not a badass.

[sprintlate5G]

@PhillyPhunk alright alright... how bout this... im a tool and a coward and he fucked my mouth... im glad we agree can i be your friend now. dude simma down... its hackey. have a good one man

[raymone6]

for some reason it don't look like kasparitis the guy looks too small

[gwentomnion]

Kaspar wasn't very large at all. Generally, his dirty hits are a result of how low to the ice he played, and his hip checks would be at people knees. Unless of course they were giant oafs who waltz into the zone looking at their feet with their head down.

[raymone6]

was this before or after Kasparatis hit him in the head with a cheap shot

[Skrangelben]

LoL

kasparaitis never hit Lindros with a cheapshot. The crybaby Lindros was to stupid to remember to keep his head up though. He also had a way to soft head for his own good.

LoL

[GalilGade]

Eric was so big. Look at his hands! What a great guy!

[SonyT250]

Kasparaitis has allways played for CCCP / Rossija though he was born in Lithuania. And as far as I know, Lithuania and Canada has not played against each other in any level ever.

[tomski9]

kaspy was no one.he sucks at this fight.

[OriginalKinkster]

Is it me or did kasparitus always turtle?

[yourmomsaukelele]

its you faggot, kasparaitis was arguably the toughest guy in the league when he played.

[Propagandhi900]

No he wasn't. He was a pest like Tucker, Avery and Ruutu.

[therat36]

No way lot more tough then him you had domi ray twist probert but yeah back then Kasp was probley top 5 best checking dmen

[DeliriousFan01]

@OriginalKinkster I totally know what you mean, I'm so sick of people saying how tough kasparitus was all he could do was throw cheapshots. then run away instead of fight.

[hockeyplayer168]

@OriginalKinkster He didn't turtle, he was six inches shorter.  Fucking idiot.

[undertehlaw]

@OriginalKinkster I wouldn't want to fight an angry Eric Lindros that's for sure.

[mfornelos]

@OriginalKinkster No he dident turtle, Im not a huge fan of European players, but Kasparitus never backed down and played tough hockey

[kda5]

@OriginalKinkster no, it isn't you. He did always turtle.

[33wildcatpride]

lindros is to raw

[MrBarelylethal]

no russia

[Azamonia]

DUD ITS NOT LITHUANIA ITS RUSSIA

[PeteyPablo7984]

Canada vs Lithuania  ??????

i think its russia

[aws1793]

Kasparaitis is lithuanian

[Philly2002]

Look at Jerseys.... definitely does not say LITUVA --thats what Lithuanian jerseys have. says Russia in cyrillic

Kaspiratis played for Russia because he was born in a then soviet republic

[Philly2002]

Yes, Kaspar never played for Lithuania.. even though he was born there. He had dual citizenship, and always played for Russia...

[familybc146]

Kasparaitis could really get under the skin of players like no one I ever saw. Lindros punched him with his glove still on he was so pissed.

Kasper got him later with the big hit that spelled the beginning of the end of Lindros' career.

[zaaaaak17]

Lindros sucks

[cuso47]

Even as a lifelong flyer fan Ive always loved kasparitis, this is from the hit in pittsburgh in 98 season... but that was a clean hit, no he was never great, but lets face it, he was one of the D men that the flyers were missing in late 90s early 2000s. I loved this guy, cant lie about it

[WhySoSeerious]

How the fuck can kasparaitis be so stupid?! I mean he is a little shit, and picks a fight with THE 88?! Eric Lindros crushed him.

[WhySoSeerious]

Talk about exaggerate, man. Darius is a little shit. No wonder he's almost completely forgotten.

[WhySoSeerious]

The "Lindros guy" is the one that's gonna be inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame next year, if the rumors are true. He was called "The Next Great One". Google it. So he's not forgotten, I assure you. I've never heard Kasparatis being called something like that, nor will he ever be inducted in the Hall of Fame. But I guess you already know that. He's a nobody.

[WhySoSeerious]

You don't know shit, you little hypocrite. Don't sit and talk shit, when you haven't done shit with your life. You are the one who's the nobody, just like your butt buddy Kasparatis. You are both losers. Who cares if he made it to the NHL, when he hasn't accomplished shit, except trying to fight guys. I'm American, so I'm not exactly a fan of Canada, but Lindros is a greater player than Kasaparatis. You are Canadian, according to yor channel. Shame on you.

[WhySoSeerious]

Nope. But feel free to kill yourself. It's fine by me. And, by the way, you have no idea. You are the one that couldn't stand NHL. Muppet.

[GalilGade]

Nope you are right! Finally someone who agrees with my thinking! Eric is the GREATEST ONE! I am a die-hard Lindros fanatic and will always be. But the people who spit on him are the same who once called themselves die-hard Lindros fans back in the 90's when he dominated the game

[MetalBasher13]

"dominated the game"? his best year was '95-'96 when he played 73 games scoring 47 goals and 68 assists. this is not domination, although his line as a whole was hard to stop.

[deovalente]

He dominated? Lindros broke 80 points only three times in 13 seasons. He could have dominated if he was healthy, but he wasn't, and as a result he went Cup-less and his trade from the Nordiques is probably the reason the Colorado Avalanche dominated much of the 90's and 2000's, not the Flyers.

[GalilGade]

If you look back at Eric as a player in general he did dominate. That's a fact. He was feared because of his huge body and hard checks and hits. Fortunately there are people who said they were going to vote yes on the question if Lindros is HHoF material

[deovalente]

That's not a fact, actually, that's an opinion. But it's your opinion and it differs from mine so I suppose I should stop bugging you about it.

[tadunanitko]

canada vs lithuania omg are you crazy??? This is Russia!!!!!!!!!!

[PureLtFan]

he's lithuanian... elektrenai...

[mm647165]

Kasparitis was saved by the linesman. I think his life flashed before his eyes.

[getfunkylikeamonkey]

Eric Lindros=Beast

[joeyj0506]

Lithuania = Fail

Kaspar and Gonchar were playing for Russia

[jamexxxxxx]

yes because there was no national team of lithuania at the time dumbass

[pilipukas123]

kasparaitis owns
