Mommy Lindros said that her son was going to be a great player, make lots of money and be a legend.. yes..a legenday big baby...and his name ain't on the Stanley cup..
@evilTaker90 true in the case of Jeremy.. he rocked..but Lindros insulted everyone when he had been picked by the nordiques and acted like a 5 year old.. the funny thing is..the nordiques became the colorado avalanche and won the cup not long afterwards
This video will never cease sending chills down my spine,elevating my adrenaline level and making me feel fortunate enough to have been able to get to see play the player that no one will ever match in complexity and that is born only once in a lifetime-the best player in generations.
Trivia question for this video was:"How many times did Lindros lose his balance and fall after he hit or taken a hit?The answer is:NONE.Lindros didn't lose his balance one fucking time.Zero.Zip.
@DrockProGamer sorry Big lindy there was skating around with his head down. and he got lit up. sorry dude it happens and im sorry you like lindros soo much that you dont see it. but thats okay. Hes done with hockey now. just a out of work hockey player that lived his time on the ice.
@twistedup123 dude you dont know what your talking about. my dad played in the nhl for 15 years and taught lindros bros when they were 13 and 11. eric was so good he played with 17 year old. he was unbelievable. its a shame he went to the flyers.my dad went there and got fucked over. paul coffey, my dad's(doug crossman)rival went there and only got 2 goals..just shows how good of an organization the flyers are.pathetic. my dad set records and got fucked by them
@DrockProGamer I agree with your comment in general except for one thing-that it was a shame he went to Philly.No,no,no and no again.Him winding up in orange,black and white was the best thing that could happen to the fans to the game and to me as his huge fan.Lindros/Flyers was one of the best player/organization fits ever in history.The Flyers style in 90's led by the BigE was too much fun to watch.They were the most physical team,virtually no Euros and no visors.I agree with you on the rest.
@DrockProGamer : whatever, your old man was a NHL pro and now your here on youtube talking shit. go away andmake some other lie up for a differant crowd who belives you.
@DrockProGamer I dont think it was the coaching as much as having horrible goaltenders around him. Just go take a look t some of them. You'd laugh your face off. Hextall should've sold ice cream bc he was mr softee when it came to a big spot in the playoffs.
@twistedup123 Every forward skates with their head down at times as they carry the puck down the ice.It's natural.It gets really tiring to explain time and time again this fact.Just watch the game more closely.He got lit up by otherwise insignificant players who had no clue how to stop him.I mean how pathetic is it that everyone remembers Stevens for that garbage more than for anything else?Think about it.You're the one who don't see the whole picture.
@twistedup123 Well,you're just watching a wrong video.That disgusting piece of garbage hit is shown in other video.In this one though can you enjoy that asshole Stevens taking pounding from Lindros every time those two met on the ice.Lindros dominated not only the game of hockey but Stevens as well.Stevens had been run over by Etrain more often than not.
@88BigEtrain so what the one that counts is the one stevens put on lindros. he took down the beast. the guy that thought he could push anybody around. well he could and he did but not after stevens fixed his clock.
@twistedup123 Yeah,the piece of shit hit counted.What counts as well though is the fact that Stevens had never anything else going for him against Lindros which is more than obvious in all the videos.Stevens was so powerless and hopeless-priceless to watch.Finally, on one of the nights in April of 2000 playoffs, knowing what the deal was ,that asshole pulled off a garbage hit to end up all the frustration and anger over being pounded and beaten up by No88.Yeah,he pushed No4 around big time.
@11DNA11 Good observation,man.Best balance,conditioning and timing of the hits was a fraction of Lindros' greatness.You pretty much answered my question above.
@88BigEtrain Add magnificent playmaking, excellent goalscoring touch and leadership to that. It's basically a mold for a perfect hockey player. Although, more durability wouldn't hurt :P
@11DNA11 Dude,we could go on and on,the list is pretty long.Let's make it short and say that he had no weaknesses and was a perfect player.Remeber Universal soldier movie?A perfect soldier?Lindros was that on skates.That fact couldn't be accepted some players and they used their few seconds on the ice to knock down the Big guy and be famous for it.And the only way how to do it was to go after Lindros' head.They didn't want to run into the brick wall and hurt themselves.
Some of the best hits of the best hitter in history of the game.Stevens is absolutely nobody alongside Lindros.He knew how to hit somebody's head preferably blindsidedly but had nothing else going for him in the"hitting" department.
In each and every clip of Eric's "sick" plays there is a guy playing for New Jersey wearing number 4 being a constant moving target for the Big E.I wonder who that player is.....Oh yeah it's that frustrated asshole Stevens who viciously hit Eric in the head with the intent to injure.Never mind my stumbling on that player for the Devils.....Eric would hit anything that was in his way regardless the jersey.Priceless to watch.
@insanehockeyfan Some people just keep stepping on the snake,dude.What can i say.People like me and you need to preserve a respect for the greatest player in my lifetime.Btw the hit at 2:50 is just one of countless other hits that Lindros had dished out on Stevens over the years.That's why that asshole took him out with that peice of shit.Hey if you want to keep in touch before we meet at the ceremony in Toronto, leave me your contact.
Ladies and gentlemen,you've just been watching A FRACTION of what the greatest hockey player was capable of in an arguably most precise reflection of Eric's career thus far.BTW,a trivia question for you-Exactly how many times did Lindros fall after any body contact he had in this clip?I know the answer,of course,because I pay an attention to even the smallest details of Big E's game so no goddamned bashers nor haters can give me any bullshit about Lindros.
Only a personal crap about Eric makes it "difficult" for "the experts" to induct "The Greatest One" as a first ballot let alone doubt his induction at all.All facts together,there has never been a more complete player in the world than Eric Brian Lindros,period.Goddamn headhunters took him out and no one gave a damn about protecting the player that had sold the game of hockey from the day he entered the NHLThanks for your continued support of the greatest player ever.
@88BigEtrain Why thank someone for their support when they are already a fan? You are a true fan or you aren't. It's as simple as that. I'm a diehard fan of Lindros for Life and nothing is going to change that but I don't need to state my opinion over and over and over again to show what a big fan I am. He deserves to be in the HHoF. No doubt about that.
Every time I see this video with focus on details I get a better and better sense of how great Eric really was.His hitting is out of this world,eacha nd every player can only dream about being able to hit so precisely,right on the target like when you play bowling,trying to knock down as many bowls as possible.Hang the jersey 88 up on rafters in Wachovia Center please.Hurry up,goddamn it!
Day D is coming mercilessly-Eric Brian Lindros's induction into HHOF is all but inevitable.I'll be there,Toronto.The easiest decision the HHOF board will have ever made.
@88BigEtrain You know pretty well the most easiest decision for the HHoF board was when they inducted Gretzky. Remember what Jim said on FB if it was you who replied on the FB Lindros page (I assume it was you over there) he might not get through the first round. To me Eric would already have been inducted the day he announced his retirement but not everybody thinks the same as we - the Lindros crazy- do.
Great to find out about your interest in this clip.This one shows a fraction of Eric's greatness unfortunately,albeit the gracious Generals did a terrific job on it.
Eric is the best and hardest hitter ever,no one is anywhere close to hitting like him.The moment where he picks up the puck in his own end and a bull like steamrolls down the ice with blazing speed with some 236 lbs of a pure muscle carrying along is breathtaking.And that asshole Stevens is always banged up from him.His frustration spilled over in 00 playoffs when he premeditated his dirty hit right in BigE's head.
He didn't necessarily end Eric's career but yes, inevitably slowed it down.Did you have your day when a "mysterious concussion" ended Stevens' career and Eric kept playing?Stevens had ONE lousy concussion and was done,Eric had goddamn nine yet was still able to significantly contribute on the ice.
I was pretty sad,but hockey is tough game. Scott played 20 years,Eric 13 season, but half count of Stevens's games. And he was hit by the puck right to the ear.
Arguably the closest reflection of how incredible Eric was and why i proudly call him "The Greatest One".Amazing video,Oshawa Generals,thank you all for the respect you gave Eric including retiring number 88.
For all i know virtually every line in Philly that Eric had centered was unstoppable and was able to outplay any other line in the nhl at that time.Obviously with Eric's health worsening his teammates weren't able to pick up his slack.Even with the Rangers his F-L-Y line dominated and was a deciding factor between a loss or a victory.Eric's astonishing +/- stats tell you that his lines had rarely been outplayed or dominated by ANY line.
CivicBoy253,i call him "The Greatest One" without even thinking about it for a second.M.Talbot can be called a good player but not Eric.I' ve made numerous comments on the"his head up" thing,so feel free to read them.Let's just say that each and every player has their head down in certain moments on the ice in the heat of a game,it's just a matter of if that particular player WANTS to catch a guy with his head down or not.And yeah "The Legion of Doom ruled the game.
I agree with you 100 % when eric lindros was healthy he was by far the best player i have ever seen. Flyer fans shouldn't hate him bobby clarke is a dickhead. Anyway Eric Lindros lives in a Huge mansion in Toronto, Canada where i live i have driven by his house but i haven't seen the Big E outside yet!!! I will be sure to get his autograph one day!!!
Hey lightningjelly,thanks for your cool comment,it's well appreciated.Well,Bob is Bob yet i give him credit for his well known comment about Eric saying that he's absolutely eligible for H.O.F and that personal crap doesn't change that.Atta boy Bobby!Anyway,perhaps BigE doesn't want be seen getting ready for a comeback...:)Goddamnit,why is that just a silly joke and a wish...?:( Can you do me a favor and keep in touch?I don't have any canadian friends,let alone "The Greatest One"s fans friends:D
That massive hit against that puny ugly looking Russian at 30 second mark makes me get chills everytime i see it. His hits are so powerful the guy did a full summersalt in the air. LMAO Bone crushing hits every single time i absolutley love it !!!
Oh dude,you hit the nail on the head right there.I think that's arguably the hardest hit i've seen from Etrain thus far along with the one on Dackell.You better check out the video called "Lindros hit on Konstantinov",because it's live from the actual game with comments from the Flyers commentators.You're gonna be left with your jaw dropped and with even more chills,GUARANTEED!!Like you say,bone crushing hits.Yeah BigE ruled!!!!
5valencia,thanks for dubbing "the Legion of Doom" like that,you mean like gloom for the opponents?Right on!That's exactly what it was.Stanley Cup doesn't mean anything.Average players win the Cups too."TLOD didn't play for that long together anyway,didn't get too many chances to win one together.Not to mention the rest of the teams they played on always disappeared when it mattered the most.
Yeah,nothing to bash about i guess,all the haters watch and scratch their heads at the same time.How are we gonna put that moment down?Damn,that's a hard one.....
The best ever,Coulddousin.He had what Mario and Wayne did,they didn't have what Eric did.I aready call Eric "The Greatest One".There isn't a reason not to call him that way.
Why do I love 0.39 - 0.43 the most :D LOL!!! Eric was a super HOT beast! When he entered the ice the enemy was aware. Something was going to happen. I miss him and no one every can replace him
Yeah,no wonder that female fans call him sexy beast.Topless Eric chewing a gum,while taping his Bauer Nike hockey stick is goddamn hot and cool,ladies.
....and finnishing;2:48 MIN IN- hell yeah,Eric was tremendously skilled;All in all,you can see just a fraction of what Eric Lindros was: "The Greatest One".Thanks for the memories Eric,I don't need you to have won Stanley Cup for me,you gave me much more-you gave me years of no boredom but thrill,excitement,smile ,laughter and damn well spent money on the entertainment.Your die hard fan 88BigEtrain
Here comes 2:04 MIN IN-i call that being goddamn solid like a rock.The guy goes shoulder to shoulder and is ready to hit,yet gets destroyed by BigE-priceless;2:18 MIN IN-to say that that slap shot was hard is an understatement;hardest shot i've ever seen,Hasek doesn't know,what that was;2:28-2:32-probably the most fascinating "nonphysical"moment in the video,true "gem"-"The Greatest One" in incredible speed- a bull,a train,a wall all merged into one on their way to the net-scary as hell.....
Alright,0:54-1:00 MIN IN-Eric takes pussy Stevens down as always;1:01-1:06 MIN IN-effortlessly knocks people down and they bounce off of him like tennis balls;1:13 MIN IN-Eric sharply turns to get to the puck and on his way,he clears "something" out of the road;that "something" holds his leg so Eric pushes it off;1:20 MIN IN-Eric has an urge to hit in front of benches-you better be ready to get thrown over;1:34 MIN IN-you hit not just "The Wall",you hit moving "Wall"-not good....To be continued
I know 88BigEtrain! It makes me shiver everytime I see it. This clip is the evidence why the Greatest One is our favoreitem in our hearts forever! Damn I love Eric sooooo much!!!!!!!!
...here we go GalilGade-0:13-0:19 SEC IN-Eric gets a puck and takes it all the way down the ice and even makes a shot-Eric's famous drive to the net;0:21 SEC IN- some Russian runs into "The human wall";0:31 SEC IN-one of Eric's finest-Dackell is rocked;0:33 SEC IN-some Czech dummy tries to stop Eric face to face-check out the outcome :D-a true "gem" of the video;0:40 SEC IN-female fans of Eric'd better see that;0:50 SEC IN-you just witness the hardest slap shot in the NHL;...to be continued.
GalilGade,don't you adore this video?I certainly do,it's like a powerful drug and i've gotten addicted to it.Not a single second goes by without me getting chills up my spine.....Thank all of you guys from Oshawa Generals ownership and management for this tribute and for retiring number 88 of "The Greatest One"
Yes 88 BigEtrain! I LOVE this video! Oshawa did it and the Flyers need to follow their example. Retire jersey nr 88! I will NEVER accept anybody else skating with it. Yes you are so right (have you ever not been right?) he is the GREATEST one ever to walk this planet!
I think the more carefully you watch this video the more dare you call him "The Greatest One" and also E-train seems to be more and more the right nickname for Eric.I mean the hits Eric throws around are so"heavy duty" that all the hit players fly many feet away from the point of impact :D It's just a pure thrill watch that.I'm gonna start gradually describing all the "gems" in this video:0:08-0:13 SEC IN-only Eric was able to score like that,i call it "Lindros' ugly beauty".To be continued....
And you know I cannot disagree with you. I wouldn't disagree with you anyway ;) Eric had everything. His hits make me smile everytime I see this vid (or all Lindros related clips) and thinking about how he can bring fans together make me even more happy
You're totally right!.He seemed like he was born to be a Flyer.The best thing that happened to him,the game, the city and to us -the fans.Then he went to the lousy Rangers,where he was put on lines with soft Europeans except when he played with Fleury and York and guess what F-L-Y line was the best line in the league that time.Then came the Leafs and again lousy teammates.He got to play even w Domi.The Stars-the worst fit of all.Lindros was the Flyers,the Flyers were Lindros!Franchise player!
Because of him I became a Flyers fan. To me Eric is holy. I can't stand it when people talk negative about him. Eric brought joy to the game. A huge man with a huge body. I wish he would come back. More than anything in the world
Can't get enough of the clip.0:49:Eric's jaw-dropping slap shot makes look an Al McInnis' one not as hard after all.Just a laser beam.2.29:his tremendous speed is terrifying as Etrain steamrolls to his next station-a net of an opposite team.Eric's hits are just a pure thrill.Nobody's ever come anywhere close to hitting like him.Watching his hits is like drugs,you just want more and more of them,you can't stop.BigE's retirement was one of the most heart-wrenching and hated events of my life.
Totally agree with you 100% and i also think he only suited being in a flyers uniform. I live in toronto and still think he looked better in a flyer's uniform that was his team and city!!!
He was the best ever, no player have been or will be like him, miss him sooo much, a comeback maybe is to dream about but u can always dream :), Yzerman and the other players looked like girls beside Lindros. . . which him all the best
Thanks for your comment 1jamal1,i couldn't say any better myself.Awesome video,eric has been the most complete and exciting player ever,bar none.He couldn't be stopped in any imaginable way except being head hunted by players like scott stevens.Thank you Oshawa Generals for this tribute and for retiring his jersey No.88.We,your fans,sorely and deeply miss you BigE....But, perhaps you might c....I still believe.....

@norskesopetunnen Yes, I saw thanks - I just can't believe there isn't a full length video of that play anywhere

Eric is the best and hardest hitter ever,no one is anywhere close to hitting like him.The moment where he picks up the puck in his own end and a bull like steamrolls down the ice with blazing speed with some 236 lbs of a pure muscle carrying along is breathtaking.And that asshole Stevens is always banged up from him.His frustration spilled over in 00 playoffs when he premeditated his dirty hit right in BigE's head.

Haha..what a joke! Scott made my day when ended his carrer!
Scott4 2 years ago
He didn't necessarily end Eric's career but yes, inevitably slowed it down.Did you have your day when a "mysterious concussion" ended Stevens' career and Eric kept playing?Stevens had ONE lousy concussion and was done,Eric had goddamn nine yet was still able to significantly contribute on the ice.
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
I was pretty sad,but hockey is tough game. Scott played 20 years,Eric 13 season, but half count of Stevens's games. And he was hit by the puck right to the ear.

We need a new Lindros in the NHL. Ovechkin is a very welcome addition to the game, but even he doesn´t provide that "trouble-stirring" action.
I suddenly miss the old dudes. Lindros, Domi, Probert, Matthew Barnaby... the misfits.

When he came to Sault Ste. Marie in the 1991 OHL finals against The Soo Greyhounds. We did three things:
We came

We were the OHL Champions, and I speak for every Soo Greyhound fan when I say that this is our

LINDROS WANTS HIS MOMMY!!!!

Arguably the closest reflection of how incredible Eric was and why i proudly call him "The Greatest One".Amazing video,Oshawa Generals,thank you all for the respect you gave Eric including retiring number 88.

GalilGade 2 years ago
For all i know virtually every line in Philly that Eric had centered was unstoppable and was able to outplay any other line in the nhl at that time.Obviously with Eric's health worsening his teammates weren't able to pick up his slack.Even with the Rangers his F-L-Y line dominated and was a deciding factor between a loss or a victory.Eric's astonishing +/- stats tell you that his lines had rarely been outplayed or dominated by ANY line.
88BigEtrain 2 years ago 2
All those great hits! It gives me goosebumps to see him on the ice again even though it's only a vid. Damn I wish the Greatest One would return!!!
This guy was so huge and big! There will be nobody like him. Legion of Doom forever but the Big E for eternity!
GalilGade 2 years ago
CivicBoy253,i call him "The Greatest One" without even thinking about it for a second.M.Talbot can be called a good player but not Eric.I' ve made numerous comments on the"his head up" thing,so feel free to read them.Let's just say that each and every player has their head down in certain moments on the ice in the heat of a game,it's just a matter of if that particular player WANTS to catch a guy with his head down or not.And yeah "The Legion of Doom ruled the game.
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
I agree with you 100 % when eric lindros was healthy he was by far the best player i have ever seen. Flyer fans shouldn't hate him bobby clarke is a dickhead. Anyway Eric Lindros lives in a Huge mansion in Toronto, Canada where i live i have driven by his house but i haven't seen the Big E outside yet!!! I will be sure to get his autograph one day!!!

GalilGade 2 years ago
Hey lightningjelly,thanks for your cool comment,it's well appreciated.Well,Bob is Bob yet i give him credit for his well known comment about Eric saying that he's absolutely eligible for H.O.F and that personal crap doesn't change that.Atta boy Bobby!Anyway,perhaps BigE doesn't want be seen getting ready for a comeback...:)Goddamnit,why is that just a silly joke and a wish...?:( Can you do me a favor and keep in touch?I don't have any canadian friends,let alone "The Greatest One"s fans friends:D
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
That massive hit against that puny ugly looking Russian at 30 second mark makes me get chills everytime i see it. His hits are so powerful the guy did a full summersalt in the air. LMAO Bone crushing hits every single time i absolutley love it !!!
lightningjelly 2 years ago
Oh dude,you hit the nail on the head right there.I think that's arguably the hardest hit i've seen from Etrain thus far along with the one on Dackell.You better check out the video called "Lindros hit on Konstantinov",because it's live from the actual game with comments from the Flyers commentators.You're gonna be left with your jaw dropped and with even more chills,GUARANTEED!!Like you say,bone crushing hits.Yeah BigE ruled!!!!

Why do I love 0.39 - 0.43 the most :D LOL!!! Eric was a super HOT beast! When he entered the ice the enemy was aware. Something was going to happen. I miss him and no one every can replace him
GalilGade 2 years ago
Yeah,no wonder that female fans call him sexy beast.Topless Eric chewing a gum,while taping his Bauer Nike hockey stick is goddamn hot and cool,ladies.
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
Of course! We females love to see a hockeyplayer without a helmet ever now and then and when they are hot and sexy.................whooow!
GalilGade 2 years ago
....and finnishing;2:48 MIN IN- hell yeah,Eric was tremendously skilled;All in all,you can see just a fraction of what Eric Lindros was: "The Greatest One".Thanks for the memories Eric,I don't need you to have won Stanley Cup for me,you gave me much more-you gave me years of no boredom but thrill,excitement,smile ,laughter and damn well spent money on the entertainment.Your die hard fan 88BigEtrain
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
Here comes 2:04 MIN IN-i call that being goddamn solid like a rock.The guy goes shoulder to shoulder and is ready to hit,yet gets destroyed by BigE-priceless;2:18 MIN IN-to say that that slap shot was hard is an understatement;hardest shot i've ever seen,Hasek doesn't know,what that was;2:28-2:32-probably the most fascinating "nonphysical"moment in the video,true "gem"-"The Greatest One" in incredible speed- a bull,a train,a wall all merged into one on their way to the net-scary as hell.....
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
Alright,0:54-1:00 MIN IN-Eric takes pussy Stevens down as always;1:01-1:06 MIN IN-effortlessly knocks people down and they bounce off of him like tennis balls;1:13 MIN IN-Eric sharply turns to get to the puck and on his way,he clears "something" out of the road;that "something" holds his leg so Eric pushes it off;1:20 MIN IN-Eric has an urge to hit in front of benches-you better be ready to get thrown over;1:34 MIN IN-you hit not just "The Wall",you hit moving "Wall"-not good....To be continued
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
I know 88BigEtrain! It makes me shiver everytime I see it. This clip is the evidence why the Greatest One is our favoreitem in our hearts forever! Damn I love Eric sooooo much!!!!!!!!

...here we go GalilGade-0:13-0:19 SEC IN-Eric gets a puck and takes it all the way down the ice and even makes a shot-Eric's famous drive to the net;0:21 SEC IN- some Russian runs into "The human wall";0:31 SEC IN-one of Eric's finest-Dackell is rocked;0:33 SEC IN-some Czech dummy tries to stop Eric face to face-check out the outcome :D-a true "gem" of the video;0:40 SEC IN-female fans of Eric'd better see that;0:50 SEC IN-you just witness the hardest slap shot in the NHL;...to be continued.
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
GalilGade,don't you adore this video?I certainly do,it's like a powerful drug and i've gotten addicted to it.Not a single second goes by without me getting chills up my spine.....Thank all of you guys from Oshawa Generals ownership and management for this tribute and for retiring number 88 of "The Greatest One"
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
Yes 88 BigEtrain! I LOVE this video! Oshawa did it and the Flyers need to follow their example. Retire jersey nr 88! I will NEVER accept anybody else skating with it. Yes you are so right (have you ever not been right?) he is the GREATEST one ever to walk this planet!
GalilGade 2 years ago
I think the more carefully you watch this video the more dare you call him "The Greatest One" and also E-train seems to be more and more the right nickname for Eric.I mean the hits Eric throws around are so"heavy duty" that all the hit players fly many feet away from the point of impact :D It's just a pure thrill watch that.I'm gonna start gradually describing all the "gems" in this video:0:08-0:13 SEC IN-only Eric was able to score like that,i call it "Lindros' ugly beauty".To be continued....
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
And you know I cannot disagree with you. I wouldn't disagree with you anyway ;) Eric had everything. His hits make me smile everytime I see this vid (or all Lindros related clips) and thinking about how he can bring fans together make me even more happy
GalilGade 2 years ago
You're totally right!.He seemed like he was born to be a Flyer.The best thing that happened to him,the game, the city and to us -the fans.Then he went to the lousy Rangers,where he was put on lines with soft Europeans except when he played with Fleury and York and guess what F-L-Y line was the best line in the league that time.Then came the Leafs and again lousy teammates.He got to play even w Domi.The Stars-the worst fit of all.Lindros was the Flyers,the Flyers were Lindros!Franchise player!
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
Because of him I became a Flyers fan. To me Eric is holy. I can't stand it when people talk negative about him. Eric brought joy to the game. A huge man with a huge body. I wish he would come back. More than anything in the world
GalilGade 2 years ago
Can't get enough of the clip.0:49:Eric's jaw-dropping slap shot makes look an Al McInnis' one not as hard after all.Just a laser beam.2.29:his tremendous speed is terrifying as Etrain steamrolls to his next station-a net of an opposite team.Eric's hits are just a pure thrill.Nobody's ever come anywhere close to hitting like him.Watching his hits is like drugs,you just want more and more of them,you can't stop.BigE's retirement was one of the most heart-wrenching and hated events of my life.
88BigEtrain 2 years ago
Totally agree with you 100% and i also think he only suited being in a flyers uniform. I live in toronto and still think he looked better in a flyer's uniform that was his team and city!!!
