It bothers me to see professional athletes always being portrayed as stupid. There are very few positions in any sport that you can be the best at if you're stupid. Lindros is a very intelligent guy. He is still one of the best I have ever seen play. I think a lot of what he is saying in this interview is still ringing true today; I.E. the instigator rule.
He should of became the NHLPA baby because he is a little weak crbaby and he is a terrible hockey player who always runs back to mommy when things go wrong.
Just all these four game highlights give a damn good idea about Lindros' greatness-one of the best and most accurate wrist shots in history,one of the hardest slap shots ever,hardest,multidimensional hitter with perfectly timed hits ever in the game.And that's just a fraction of his greatness.
@88BigEtrain you seem to be borderline obsessive.... Is your bedroom full of Lindros Posters with the words "I"ll be with you someday" drawn on them by you?
@stevieray351 You can call it whatever you want,I'm just gonna continue to defend Lindros as fiercely and passionately as haters bash him and talk senseless shit about him.Lindros was once in a lifetime kind of player that was in his own category.The things that he was capable of and all the areas he either dominated in or was one of the best in....it all needs to be brought up to attention so there is no doubt about clarity of things,and that's exactly what I do.
@88BigEtrain Im not a hater he was an incredible mix of size and skill... BUT his dickhead attitude and ego killed his career the same way concussions did. Anyone who knows hockey would not put him with the likes of Orr, Gretzky, Lemieux, Bourque, etc.... If your generous you might place him in the top 100 all time...Any player that refuses to play for the team that picks him 1st overall and forces a trade before ever playing a game, is a disgrace to the game
@stevieray351 I'll take it right from the beginning of your comment.A dickhead attitude-,hardly..Lindros,just like any other great professional athlete,had plenty of confidence,which he could easily back up with his jaw-dropping play on the ice.Actually ,exactly the opposite is true.I don't know whom you meet,but even people who don't follow hockey as close as me or you,are able to mention only two players when asked-Gretzky and Lindros.They all consider him a lock for HHOF.That's a reality.
@88BigEtrain That's so ridiculous .Maybe if you ask Eric Lindros himself, he can only mention Gretzky and himself because he is that arrogant, and he can't remember any other players names because his brain is more like silly puddy with all those concussions.... If you are talking potential wise, ya he could have been up there in the top 20 or so all time if he stayed healthy... But his career numbers and accomplishments, dont compare to the best
@stevieray351 Well,"thanks" for bringing Lindros up in Top 20.Less ridiculous than your previous statement.Lindros in his prime,before headhunters Stevens and co.started targeted his head out of a pure desperation,was the most dominant player ever, when comparing the eras,teammates and other facts.He collected 500pts.as the 5th fastest player ever under totally different circumstances than the other four.His career numbers were absolutely amazing until 1998 ,when his head became a sole target.
@88BigEtrain Hoooolddd onnn...Most dominant ever??? He led the league in scoring once, and it was the lockout year. I think you are confusing POTENTIAL with ACCOMPLISHMENTS. He dominated more than someone who won 8 more MVP's and 4 more cups(99)? Or a 19 time 1st or 2nd team all NHL d-man(bourque)? Those guys dominated year after year, you are honestly saying Lindros had a better career than them??Remember his injuries were mostly his fault, he should have picked his head up once in a while
@stevieray351 No,there is no confusion on my part.Lindros outright lived up to his potential,and if you call being a 5th fastest player ever to have amassed 500 points not being dominant,you're out of your mind.And you missed my point with all those four players in front of him playing in wide open eras of hockey.And THAT FACT along with a few others that I don't have enough space to talk about here,makes him the best ever.Then,beginning in 98,frustrated individuals put an end to his greatness.
@88BigEtrain you have a SERIOUS mancrush on lindros, its really pathetic.. take a look at what people who know hockey think, i had to see where he is ranked by the hockey news, the most recognized hockey publication there is, he is ranked number 54 all time.the list was put together by nhl coaches, refs, gms, writers/journalists and broadcasters....people that know more than u do about hockey
@stevieray351 Nah,man.What I have though is a common sense and,most importantly,the FACTS to back up my statements.54th all time on the list is a joke,but obviously,which is understandable and I don't hold any grudge against those experts for such a decision,Lindros has dropped down in the ranking because of his performance after leaving the Flyers,consequence of his concussions as his head had been relentlessly targeted since 98 by frustrated and pretty much otherwise insignificant players.
@stevieray351 Like i said,if,as you claim the ranking was compiled back in 1998,it's a complete joke and those "experts" can bring it on to me,give me the reason why they rated him that low.Well,I can tell you right now that would have no logical reason to back up their opinion.I don't think that I have any desire to go into any reasonable conversation.The only thing that I can do is to laugh at them and suspect that they were out of their damn minds at that moment.
@88BigEtrain ya ill get right on that you should be getting a call from those experts soon...you are delusional, eric lindros was a great talent, that became nothing more that another would of, could of, should of, he never came close to his billing as the "next one". theres a reason his career ended with injuries, he apparently never listened to his coaches when they told him, keep your head up. How dumb can u be to skate over the blue line looking down with stevens on the ice, come on
@stevieray351 Yeah,I'll be looking forward to a conversation,bring it on,set it up.I reiterate,they have no logical reason besides those that don't stand a chance and are silly.He's no would of,should of, could of,for that turn to some other players.Lindros totally lived up to his hype until headhunters led by Mr. "frustrated coward" Stevens decided to put an end to his greatness.Your "keep your head up" cliche is all worn out and I laugh at that argument every time,somebody brings it up.
@88BigEtrain cliche? its just a well known part of playing hockey, if you always have your head down your going to get drilled over and over again. It just means look where your going its pretty simple, lindros just never grasped it for some reason....yeah stevens was so frustrated he won 3 cups and a conn smythe and is a HOFer, and what a coward he only had about 3,000 pim you are just ridiculous....Lindros himself wouldnt agree with you, plus i dont think he can read
@stevieray351I could present you a list of players having their head down when carrying the puck,but i'm afraid that you'd lose your patience going down the list.If Lindros'd kept his head down all the time he wouldn't have collected over 400 assists,because he couldn't see them,could he?He was one of the best in passing,you idiot.He was a center,and his teammates depended on his plays.Guess who was responsible for LeClair's 50 goal seasons,Renberg's best years,etc.?Stevens' hit=a piece of shit
Lindros challenged the old boys ..so the propaganda machine went to work and said this boy wont play the "game"....he wants to dictate what happens..what kind of shit is that??
Remember...
Norris, Wirtz, Ballard, Smythe, Patric and other early owners were fucking pricks....for decades treating players like dirt ...and they still pulled strings..
Lindros came along and told them to shove it far up their asses....looked good on all of them..so they labeled him a "problem".
Honestly he was a good player nothing close to great , a great player never denies playing for a team like he has done, the reason his career ended was on a fair note since it was his fault. Because Lindros use to keep his head down whenever control the puck so the hitter took to there advantage.

@Jawanijatt Aaah,c'mon now,man.Only a good player?What would you call,say,Tony Amonte,Bill Guerin,Dough Weight etc.?Lindros was the most dominant player until cowardly,desperate losers started targeting his head.That affected Lindros play in such a way that even when he hit a player he would feel the effects of his own hit throughout his body.He couldn't play his own game and he knew it.That's why he could be seen at times wandering around,w/o much energy on the ice, in the end of his career.
@ogrebattle22763 I look at yours and joyfulvulture's as the examples of how pathetic,ludicrous and senseless the arguments against Lindros can be.I'm sure that people like yourself either skip the highlights or ignore them while typing all that shit up,because all that stuff in them is too good to argue against it.That feels really good.
Eric Lindros was a big Goof Ball... who got laid out by a guy who wasn't nearly has big as he was but some how could would always end up giving this Big Goof Ball a good fight... Lindros could never kick Stevens ass ever he should have been able to but never could... Lindros was a Big Goofy Fuck who couldn't fight
@ogrebattle22763 This comment is even funnier and goofier than the other one.You're trying to make me laugh at any cost now,aren't you?You must've lived in a cave in Afghanistan some place during 90s,so I can't help you with that one.Lindros owned Stevens every time in every aspect of the game,face to face,man to man,he didn't need to blindside him with cheap shots,plain and simple.
@ogrebattle22763 Never in HHOF?Dream on,boy....Don't listen to sport news as the deadline for selected players will be approaching.It'll be on every and each sports channel that means something.Lindros' name will be at the top of a list.A slam dunk,a lock,period.
@88BigEtrain Lets see idiot - & let me guess those that voted Stevens into the HOF don't know shit right so Stevens made it into the HOF by being dirty player & a piece of shit headhunter according to you right... do you realize how much of an idiot you are... & sound like... do you... do me and yourself a favor Lindros groupie & just shut up
@ogrebattle22763 You mix up two completely different things-first-Stevens accomplished enough to be in HHOF in according to its committee members.That's a completely different issue.The other thing though is his piece of shit hit on Lindros that obviously had nothing to do with the members' decision.I reiterate this again-I have nothing against Stevens' career,as a matter of fact I respected him because he was an "old school"player-no visor,tough,physical.But ,fuck him for the hit.
@ogrebattle22763 You don't make sense with that one-Stevens only blindsided Lindros with a shitty shot once.Perhaps you meant to say that Lindros peppered Stevens with stingy hits and punches every time they met.Now that would've made sense.
@88BigEtrain Oh you again.... Hey we're still waiting for Ms. Lindros to be elected into the Hall Of Fame with those fantastic stats of his.... lolololololol.... yeah ok it just might happen one day.... LMAO!
@ogrebattle22763 In case you don't know it yet Lindros will be inducted this year after the announcement is made official.There are clues that are so obvious that only people like you and "joyvulture" blinded with hatred and not having a common sense are just unable to see.
"only people like you and "joyvulture" blinded with hatred and not having a common sense"
LOL, you're saying we're the biased retarded little delusional fucks here? you are buddy not us. all i ever said was that he is not better than gretzky or lemieux, as the moronic fanboy that you are claims. lindros is certainly hof worthy in my opinion.
somehow im not surprised that you're putting words in our mouths like that, you really do like to bend reality a lot.
@joyfulvulture Your frustration seems to be picking up.I know that you don't expect any of the Lindros' fans coming back with their comments as often as me and that you perhaps expect to get away with all that bullshit about Lindros.Well,you and your buddy "ogrebattle22763" will not as long as there are Lindros videos to comment on and I'm around.I appreciate your comment regarding whether Lindros is HHOF worthy or not though.Reality is damn clear to me,yes.
@88BigEtrain lolololololol..... just wait until next november oh yes & the november after that & the one after that & the one after that your a total moron... oh yes my fustration is building ...lolololololol... scott stevens is a 3 time stanley cup winner & a hall of fame defensemen TELL ME DIPSHIT ARE YOU STILL ON THE PIPE SMOKING CRACK?
@ogrebattle22763 Read my lips-Scott Stevens deserved to be in HHOF,a done deal.I respected him overall for his terrific career all the way up the point where he tried to deliberately end Lindros' career and for that hit I call him a pathetic piece of garbage and a fucking asshole.
@88BigEtrain oh yes of course NOW the headhunter cheapshot player deserves to be in the HOF you double talking idiot..... you are so full of crap its pathetic..... first he's a piece of shit dirty player aka MR. HEADHUNTER who according to you was gunning for Lindros and deliberately fucked him up suddenly deserves to be in the HOF - I am willing to bet anything that you didn't have a clue that Stevens was even in the HOF did you... you are so full of it.... lolololololol.....
@ogrebattle22763 That's exactly right.The league looks pretty stupid and they know it.What was allowed then is being mercilessly taken out of the game.Stevens headhunted and everyone with brain realizes that except a few people like you.The guy wasn't able to hit Lindros in any other way.He knew that Lindros would brush his hits shoulder to shoulder off.Stevens couldn't challenge Lindros,simple as that.I already told you:Stevens career=HHOF.Stevens' hit on Lindros=fucking piece of shit.
@88BigEtrain He will never be inducted EVER....... lmao you know it & so do I.... BUT YES YOU DO IN FACT CRACK ME UP... wow a point a game in his career I guess I'll go shit myself a few golf balls now... his name will never be mentioned with the likes of Messier & Gretsky M. Lemieux J. Jagr the list goes on NEVER EVER MY FRIEND...lolol... EVER... & yes Philly will go down as one of the biggest underachieving teams ever to have the talent that they did & win nothing.... NOTHING!
@ogrebattle22763 Let's see...where should I start to untangle this maze of bullshit of yours?First of all,"you know it,I know it" phrase would've sounded pretty good to me,hadn't you screwed up and said that Lindros would be in,which is the fact that you and your hating buddies will have to learn how to deal with.Secondly,and I highly doubt that you were sober while typing that up,to call him a pt./gm player is outrageous n out of whack.His name is already up there with them,dude.
@ogrebattle22763 Actually,it's not important whether in my or your eyes,but he will be in the HHOF board members' eyes when the time to announce the names comes.Do your best not to be surprised.
"That makes you feel good every time you see it,Eric." You bet,Ron.But that was just a big understatement from you,because those five sequences we get to watch are simply not good,they are ones of the best power forward ever,meaning the best hockey player ever,the hardest and the most precise hitting machine,one knocking bottles off the net with his incredibly hard and laser accurate shots.I mean Ovechkin's shots are weak compared to these cannons.Goalies simply can't even react.
@88BigEtrain Your a total douchebag.... lololololol... I cannot believe the things that you are saying about Mr. Fag 88.... the guy was an absolute total bum in every sense of the word... an absolute bum no doubt about it... & by the way Mr. Big D & i call u Mr. D because u are in fact a Dick what ever happened to that legion of doom line that was supposed to be so dominating & bone crunching behind Mr. Lindros I'll tell you what happened they got their fucking asses beat down by the Red Wings
@ogrebattle22763 I'll pass up on all that nonsense and move on to the very end of your comment-yes Lindros' line did get shut down as did the entire team.Things like that happen,Detroit outplayed the Flyers in every aspect and every detail of the series.It was a sweep.
@joyfulvulture Top 10 in his prime but a lot closer to 10?I'd say that statement is worth taking some pills.Lindros was the most complete player ever meaning that he possessed everything that Mario and Wayne did plus a lot more.That makes him the best hockey player ever.There are players that are more skilled with the puck than even Mario or Wayne but NONE is capable of what Lindros was.I recommend you to watch"The day that changed the game"on NHLNetwork.It'll give you the bottom line.
@joyfulvulture You keep stating the obvious-nobody disputes that Wayne and Mario amassed more points,goals and assists.However things that aren't obvious to you are the facts that:Lindros had never a protection forcing him to fight for himself and teammates cutting his ice time,headhunting,no great teammates unless he made them great,not having an inch of space on the ice like Wayne or Mario did,having sometimes even up to 4 players literally on his back etc.=hard to challenge their points.
give me a break with that pathetic excuse. lindros liked to fight and play physical. dont tell me he "had" to do it.
matthew barnaby said lindros was one of the guys he had the easiest time getting under the skin of. thats not lindros "protecting himself", thats lindros being stupid/falling for agitator tactics and prefering fighting to playing hockey. barnaby was some kind of sean avery back in the day, i.e. not really a dirty player.
@joyfulvulture Excuse me?Are you serious!?He hadn't been drafted number one years before his actual draft year for fighting.He was touted to be next Gretzky which in translation meant that he was better than Wayne as he was able to do things that No99 and others could only dream of.Lindros sold the games yet the flyers didn't take care of their gem.Well yeah,unlike Barnaby Lindros was a superstar that could fight,thus Barnaby knew that Lindros'd accept the challenge which'd thrill Barnaby.
"He was touted to be next Gretzky which in translation meant that he was better than Wayne as he was able to do things that No99 and others could only dream of"
same with crosby. thats just the media hyping stuff because they dont have a clue what to write about. you're so fucking dumb and delusional, its unreal. have fun in your little fantasy world kid, jacking off to posters of lindros all day.
@joyfulvulture Well guess what-if you don't perform,media will lose an interest in you.Nobody can afford to waste their time covering something that constantly underachieves and doesn't perform up to the expectations.I don't recall Daigle being paid attention to at all and he slipped anybody's mind. very quickly.Lindros,on the other,hand was in the news along with Wayne and Mario almost every time their teams would play.Thanks for sticking around Lindros videos.
@joyfulvulture lololololol...... is this guy for real i mean seriously he's definitely smoking crack... but he does crack me up though ill give him that... ive never seen anybody lick lindros' balls more then this guy he must have a bronze set of lindros' testicles enshrined in his room...
@ogrebattle22763 Interesting,how did you two know that I experience the same moments while reading your pathetic comments?Good guess.You two are just another ordinary couple not knowing any better.I've read better comments and although bashing Lindros they've at least had some intelligence to them,unlike yours.Where are your goddamn arguments,when one needs them?They'll be easily knocked down anyway.
@joyfulvulture Can you believe these Lindros groupie's thinking he belongs up there with the Best of the Best you have got to be fucking kidding me..... that's right the guy never scored 50 goals in a season not once yet he is supposed to be one of the greatest players the NHL has ever seen! Bret Hull - Steve Yzerman - Wayne Gretsky - Mark Messier - Jaromir Jagr - Mario Lemieux - I can go on & on the guy was a Turd but got paid superstar money - & was surrounded by talent no excuses...
@ogrebattle22763 And there he goes again,stating the obvious.I don't seem to remember any of those players being headhunted,having to protect themselves and their teammates,playing fewer games and having to play with average players most of their careers which are exactly the things Lindros had to go through.And surrounded by talent?Oh, I see,you meant all the players that you compared to Lindros.That would make sense.The other statement is laughable.
@88BigEtrain Stating the obvious....lolololololol.... well lets see so according to you he had it tougher then everybody else am i right yeah sure he did ... if he is one of the greatest players to ever play the game then you got to take your hits an punishment like the best player in the nhl am i right... you are full of shit & here is the best part of it all you know you are full of shit & that is in fact stating the obvious dipshit...
@ogrebattle22763 Yep,he did have a tougher life on the ice.Wonder why?Because of his size,physicality,nastiness,being able to fight anyone,anytime,not having a protection on the ice,the opponents knew that they could kill him on the ice and there would be no revenge from his teammates and they had no fear to go ahead and go after Lindros.What are you talking about,he did take hits,just not headshots.Keep embarrassing yourself until November.
@88BigEtrain embarrassing myself? we'll see next november & by the way dipshit what happened to this november oh im sorry they forgot to induct him this year my bad your such a retard in fact the word retard is just to light a word to describe you... you are a comical douche though i will say that.. i have had a barrel of laughs at your comments though...
@ogrebattle22763 Well,unlike you ,I'm gonna save my calling you names and rather get to the point.It's just unfortunate that you didn't get why Lindros wasn't inducted this past November as the reason was presented very clearly by the HHOF board members.And I'm glad that you have a barrel of laughs,because you'll at least live longer because of them.So will I thanks to yours.
@88BigEtrain I'm sorry I was to busy laughing what was your excuse for the HOF not inducting Lindros "ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS OF ALL TIME" please run this by me one more time... seriously...
@ogrebattle22763 I'll be more than glad to refresh your memory.The boards' goal was to nominate first two female players ever in history into HHOF.It was supposed to overshadow any male player that year nominated into HHOF.It happened to be Dino Ciccarelli.Does he overshadow the two female players?I don't think so.Lindros would have.Use your brain,dude.
@ogrebattle22763 Enjoy your next eight months as much as you can,because then you'll look silly,ignorant and embarrassing.You're really trying hard not to see what's going on in the business.You live in a bubble,man.I've had my share of chuckles and disbelief too.
@88BigEtrain Lol... yeah sure sweety... we'll see come this November right... or maybe the November after that right... or maybe after that right.... LMAO! I live in a bubble????? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.....
@ogrebattle22763 Yeah,we will.For now,feel free to ignore everything that's going on in the business of hockey involving Lindros all the way up to November.Then you'll get hit by a sledgehammer(that being an announcement of Lindros induction by the rational and in reality living board)and that should wake you up.
@88BigEtrain Yeah feel free to ignore everything about Lindros? Don't worry I have & I will... talk to me next November chief! Because I'm not going to want to hear any excuses from you come November! You'll be closing your account down by the time I'm finished with you!
@ogrebattle22763 Oh.believe me,there won't be any come November.But,I'll be looking forward to your and other haters' reaction,when the induction becomes official.Of course,they won't make any sense,because there are no valid arguments,none,zip,against him.And closing my account down?There'd only be two possible reasons-shutting down all Lindros videos or people like yourself disappearing off all those pages.Neither one likely to happen
Lindros was an outstanding athlete. On of the most complete hockey players we'll ever see. The size and grit of a tough guy, but has moves like a small guy. When he was healthy, he was the most dangerous man on the ice.
@ogrebattle22763 You don't need to have PhD to know that every time a player attacks the other player"s head with the only intent being to injure such a player without caring about the puck,assholes like Stevens,Doig,Kasparaitis to name just a few are headhunters meaning going after the most vulnerable part of human body.Fortunately,this garbage is being taken out of the game by the League.
@88BigEtrain Stevens was of course a headhunter & why because Lindros took a massive hit from him a LEGAL hit I might add... a hit he will no doubt ever forget.... but here is a point I am going to make very clear to you Stevens is in fact a Hall Of Fame Defensemen a fact that you or anybody else cannot dispute Stevens was a clean player if you want to talk about dirty headhunters you moron talk about dirty scummy players like Tie Domi or Chris Pronger Or Colby armstrong who are dirty players
@ogrebattle22763 Legal hit?That was one the biggest pieces of garbage hit that I've ever seen.I remember very well the pounding and beating that Stevens had taken from my man over the years.Stevens' frustration boiled over,just face the truth,Stevens had no other option how to stop Lindros,none,zip,zero.He knew what the circumstances before that hit were and his only goal was to cut Lindros' not only play-offs comeback but his career short.The only moron is you.Stevens' best hits are into heads.
@88BigEtrain Your a complete jackass do me a favor & stuff it i'm not interested in your stupid comments about Styevens being a dirty player your an asshole plain an simple - i'll end this simply by saying Lindros won absolutely nothing in his tenure with The Flyers he was a total underachiever & didn't do jackshit when it counted... case in point he scored 1 meaningless goal in the Cup against the Red Wings near the end of the last game 1 you pathetic weasel....
@ogrebattle22763 I wonder,when you google Stevens or when you read about him,first thing you'll see is his hits into players' head and his most recognizable hit is that piece of shit he pulled off against Lindros.Kind of pathetic,if you ask me.That's the first thing that comes to fans' mind.They don't remember much more of him than that...
@88BigEtrain Right that's why he's in the HOF & your Big goofball fake superstar Lindros isn't shut up you moron your making a complete ass of yourself!
@88BigEtrain LMFAO! SCOTT STEVENS IS IN THE HALL OF FAME MADE WITHOUT ANY QUESTION OR DOUBT.... BUT HEY LINDROS WILL BE THERE ONE DAY ... LOLOLOLOLOLOL.... YOU'LL BE THERE TOO.....LOLOLOLOLOLOL.... I BET YOU WILL.....LOLOLOLOLOLOL....
@ogrebattle22763 Look up my other comment on Lindros' induction.Keep making yourself sound silly and uninformed.I like all the negative and hatred spewing comments.They're easy to fend off as they are so shortsighted,ignoring the whole background behind the facts.
@88BigEtrain uninformed lolololololol im still waiting for the greatest one to be inducted & chances are ill still be waiting for quite a bit more you dipshit... meanwhile shitty players & headhunters like scott stevens are already in the hall of fame ahead of the greatest player to ever play the game so tell me retard how does that happen... i guess we are all uninformed accept u right..... how is it scott stevens is in the hall of fame... but the great eric lindros is not... i think u know why
@ogrebattle22763 Mark November in your calendar as the one that will suck and sting,because that's exactly when unofficial becomes official-Eric Bryan Lindros will be inducted into Hockey Hall of Fame.Shitty players and headhunters in HHOF?Type the list up and don't think too hard of the names.Lindros' first year of eligibility was last year and as you know the interest was to put in two female players first.That's why.
@88BigEtrain Yes thats right dickhead Stevens has 3 Cups to his name & is in the Hall Of Fame & got in instantly Lindros will never ever be in The Hall Of Fame so you have no argument your a Lindros groupie you no jack shit about hockey take your stupid shit someplace else.... I've come across morons before but you are the biggest by far... goodnight sweetheart....
@ogrebattle22763 Lindros will be inducted this year and I'll be there in person to witness all that.You'd better crawl back into your cave,because It'll be a worldwide sport event.Unlike you,even people who don't follow hockey know who Lindros is.They have never heard of Stevens though.That kind of sums things up right there.Give your head a big shake.
@88BigEtrain Jaromir Jagr was the same size as Lindros but Ten Times the player that this goofy bastard was... lolololololol... Hey why don't you become a Devils fan goofball after all The Devils have been winning that Division for years.... hahahahahahahahaha....
@ogrebattle22763 Dream on,idiot....Jagr had nothing,absolutely nothing on Lindros except his stickhandling abilities as a typical Euro.I think,as a good joke I may accept your comment.It's truly unique.Btw,I respect the Devils organization,particularly Lou Lamoriello whom i consider one of the smartest and most efficient GMs in the business.I don't respect Scott Stevens,period.
@ogrebattle22763 Jagr will be in HHOF,correct.Btw ,he won only one when he was a total rookie and thanks to Mario.But regardless,I don't care about the Cups.The Cup can be won by the worst players in the NHL if they happen to be in the right place at the right time.Lindros was one of my best entertainment investments ever.I got plenty in return,I don't need the Cup
there's no way the Leafs proposal presented in the video to acquire Lindros is correct. Toronto wouldn't give our only goalie, our captain and our best defenseman. Lindros is one of my 3 favourite all-time players (Lindros, Wendel Clark, Gary Roberts) and the day he eventually did come to Toronto I was jumping up and down. just saying that I really doubt we would give all that back when those guys brought us to a conference final.
@evesplittheatom how can you be so heartless as to say he deserved all the life threatening injuries he sustained in his career? just for saying that you deserve to experience the concussions he suffered and you deserve to suffer the collapsed lung which almost killed him, you piece of shit.
Eric has put some weight on since he played. He is still handsome. I wonder if he has slimed down since this interview. I met him in person back in the 90's at the old flyers practice facility. He is the nicest guy in the world. Very down to earth.
Lindros is great so STFU. You know who's a moron? Someone who would actually believe that dumb rumour LOL. You've got shit for brains if you actually believe that, Stojko himself even said it was the most ridiculous thing he's ever heard so get your facts straight asshole.
I don't care what anybody says I love Eric Lindros.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Stupid racist pig got knock-out by figure skating Elvis Stoiko in a Toronto bar, he call him fagget...well Mr. concussion ,you just got beat up by a fagget ,were are you going now?
"duh...anywere but Quebec City ,cuz my mom told me its full of terrorist..."
yes he could hit,score ,got great hand and was good skater but all of that ,his head down on the puck "cuz its so tiny!"
Actually Lindros was such a big talent in every aspect. He was huge, had good hands, he could deke, score, skate, hit, force, just about everything. Whoever was responsible for fucking up his career should be in shame.
All he has to do is look in the mirror. He skated with his head down frequently and people made him pay. I mean being a Flyers fan I'll love the guy to death. He was what every hockey player should be, but in the end he was his own undoing.
@TheRealOzzie234 Well said,man.The most responsible player for prematurely ending his career was obviously Scott Stevens-a cowardly asshole with his blatant piece of shit hit and with clear intent to end Lindros' career.But let me tell you something-Stevens isn't ashamed a bit,in fact he still believes that hits in a head are perfectly fine.Pretty much saying "fuck you doctors,fuck consequences of such hits."If I ever happen to meet Stevens, I'll tell him in his face what I think of the hit.
He almost said in the city that drafted them, but then said the city they became stars in because of his backing out on Quebec. Haha what a bum, bet he wishes he'd been in Clorado for those cups.
i think all hockey players are just plain fucking lame. no selling points, nobody cares about french, nobody cares you can hit a rubber black hamburger 100mph at an over padded baseball catcher and score a "goal" it seems to be a white trash sport, a mullet sport, a trailer sport.
ice hockey is'nt no white trash sport! ARE U CRAZY!!!?? That shit is expensive. When i played in high school it was like $2500 just for equipment,another $500 to pay for ice time at the local rinks,and ya say who cares about hockey,well can say that about any sport.Example:
"who cares" about a bunch of ghetto assholes throwing a round orange into a banana basket? right?UR just to much of a fag to play a fast-paced contact sport,bitch And if why u watching hockey clips on YT at the free library?
it's called your TWO CENTS, fucking retard. And by the way, nobody cares. You're probably a football fan, talk about a white trash, beer-drinking, sellout sport.

in my opinion no Hockey Legend should get his ass kicked by a figure skating queero unless he is a queero himself.would you see Bourque ,Neely ,Bossy or Maurice Richard in the same situatuion ?of course not ;those guys where thought but Classy not like your all-star-loser-concussion-mommy-represented!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this slow-brainer is one of a biggest looser of the NHL;he never want to play for the Nordique because it was own by frenchies,got trade for a bunch of player better than him-while the nordique move to Colorado and win the stanley cup!!!what Lindros has ever win?concussion!!!
Lindros, I miss ya, I wish you all the best! They dont play hockey like you did anymore, thats for sure. Your the best, you and the Legion of Doom, were the best!
It bothers me to see professional athletes always being portrayed as stupid. There are very few positions in any sport that you can be the best at if you're stupid. Lindros is a very intelligent guy. He is still one of the best I have ever seen play. I think a lot of what he is saying in this interview is still ringing true today; I.E. the instigator rule.

Just all these four game highlights give a damn good idea about Lindros' greatness-one of the best and most accurate wrist shots in history,one of the hardest slap shots ever,hardest,multidimensional hitter with perfectly timed hits ever in the game.And that's just a fraction of his greatness.

stevieray351 11 months ago
@stevieray351 You can call it whatever you want,I'm just gonna continue to defend Lindros as fiercely and passionately as haters bash him and talk senseless shit about him.Lindros was once in a lifetime kind of player that was in his own category.The things that he was capable of and all the areas he either dominated in or was one of the best in....it all needs to be brought up to attention so there is no doubt about clarity of things,and that's exactly what I do.
88BigEtrain 11 months ago
@88BigEtrain Im not a hater he was an incredible mix of size and skill... BUT his dickhead attitude and ego killed his career the same way concussions did. Anyone who knows hockey would not put him with the likes of Orr, Gretzky, Lemieux, Bourque, etc.... If your generous you might place him in the top 100 all time...Any player that refuses to play for the team that picks him 1st overall and forces a trade before ever playing a game, is a disgrace to the game
stevieray351 11 months ago
@stevieray351 I'll take it right from the beginning of your comment.A dickhead attitude-,hardly..Lindros,just like any other great professional athlete,had plenty of confidence,which he could easily back up with his jaw-dropping play on the ice.Actually ,exactly the opposite is true.I don't know whom you meet,but even people who don't follow hockey as close as me or you,are able to mention only two players when asked-Gretzky and Lindros.They all consider him a lock for HHOF.That's a reality.
88BigEtrain 11 months ago
@88BigEtrain That's so ridiculous .Maybe if you ask Eric Lindros himself, he can only mention Gretzky and himself because he is that arrogant, and he can't remember any other players names because his brain is more like silly puddy with all those concussions.... If you are talking potential wise, ya he could have been up there in the top 20 or so all time if he stayed healthy... But his career numbers and accomplishments, dont compare to the best
stevieray351 11 months ago
@stevieray351 Well,"thanks" for bringing Lindros up in Top 20.Less ridiculous than your previous statement.Lindros in his prime,before headhunters Stevens and co.started targeted his head out of a pure desperation,was the most dominant player ever, when comparing the eras,teammates and other facts.He collected 500pts.as the 5th fastest player ever under totally different circumstances than the other four.His career numbers were absolutely amazing until 1998 ,when his head became a sole target.
88BigEtrain 11 months ago
@88BigEtrain Hoooolddd onnn...Most dominant ever??? He led the league in scoring once, and it was the lockout year. I think you are confusing POTENTIAL with ACCOMPLISHMENTS. He dominated more than someone who won 8 more MVP's and 4 more cups(99)? Or a 19 time 1st or 2nd team all NHL d-man(bourque)? Those guys dominated year after year, you are honestly saying Lindros had a better career than them??Remember his injuries were mostly his fault, he should have picked his head up once in a while
stevieray351 11 months ago
@stevieray351 No,there is no confusion on my part.Lindros outright lived up to his potential,and if you call being a 5th fastest player ever to have amassed 500 points not being dominant,you're out of your mind.And you missed my point with all those four players in front of him playing in wide open eras of hockey.And THAT FACT along with a few others that I don't have enough space to talk about here,makes him the best ever.Then,beginning in 98,frustrated individuals put an end to his greatness.
88BigEtrain 10 months ago
@88BigEtrain you have a SERIOUS mancrush on lindros, its really pathetic.. take a look at what people who know hockey think, i had to see where he is ranked by the hockey news, the most recognized hockey publication there is, he is ranked number 54 all time.the list was put together by nhl coaches, refs, gms, writers/journalists and broadcasters....people that know more than u do about hockey
stevieray351 10 months ago
@stevieray351 Nah,man.What I have though is a common sense and,most importantly,the FACTS to back up my statements.54th all time on the list is a joke,but obviously,which is understandable and I don't hold any grudge against those experts for such a decision,Lindros has dropped down in the ranking because of his performance after leaving the Flyers,consequence of his concussions as his head had been relentlessly targeted since 98 by frustrated and pretty much otherwise insignificant players.
88BigEtrain 10 months ago
@88BigEtrain fair enough...the funny thing is this list was compiled in, you guessed it, '98

@stevieray351 Like i said,if,as you claim the ranking was compiled back in 1998,it's a complete joke and those "experts" can bring it on to me,give me the reason why they rated him that low.Well,I can tell you right now that would have no logical reason to back up their opinion.I don't think that I have any desire to go into any reasonable conversation.The only thing that I can do is to laugh at them and suspect that they were out of their damn minds at that moment.
88BigEtrain 10 months ago
@88BigEtrain ya ill get right on that you should be getting a call from those experts soon...you are delusional, eric lindros was a great talent, that became nothing more that another would of, could of, should of, he never came close to his billing as the "next one". theres a reason his career ended with injuries, he apparently never listened to his coaches when they told him, keep your head up. How dumb can u be to skate over the blue line looking down with stevens on the ice, come on
stevieray351 10 months ago
@stevieray351 Yeah,I'll be looking forward to a conversation,bring it on,set it up.I reiterate,they have no logical reason besides those that don't stand a chance and are silly.He's no would of,should of, could of,for that turn to some other players.Lindros totally lived up to his hype until headhunters led by Mr. "frustrated coward" Stevens decided to put an end to his greatness.Your "keep your head up" cliche is all worn out and I laugh at that argument every time,somebody brings it up.
88BigEtrain 10 months ago
@88BigEtrain cliche? its just a well known part of playing hockey, if you always have your head down your going to get drilled over and over again. It just means look where your going its pretty simple, lindros just never grasped it for some reason....yeah stevens was so frustrated he won 3 cups and a conn smythe and is a HOFer, and what a coward he only had about 3,000 pim you are just ridiculous....Lindros himself wouldnt agree with you, plus i dont think he can read

@stevieray351I could present you a list of players having their head down when carrying the puck,but i'm afraid that you'd lose your patience going down the list.If Lindros'd kept his head down all the time he wouldn't have collected over 400 assists,because he couldn't see them,could he?He was one of the best in passing,you idiot.He was a center,and his teammates depended on his plays.Guess who was responsible for LeClair's 50 goal seasons,Renberg's best years,etc.?Stevens' hit=a piece of shit

Norris, Wirtz, Ballard, Smythe, Patric and other early owners were fucking pricks....for decades treating players like dirt ...and they still pulled strings..
Lindros came along and told them to shove it far up their asses....looked good on all of them..so they labeled him a "problem".

Honestly he was a good player nothing close to great , a great player never denies playing for a team like he has done, the reason his career ended was on a fair note since it was his fault. Because Lindros use to keep his head down whenever control the puck so the hitter took to there advantage.

@Jawanijatt Aaah,c'mon now,man.Only a good player?What would you call,say,Tony Amonte,Bill Guerin,Dough Weight etc.?Lindros was the most dominant player until cowardly,desperate losers started targeting his head.That affected Lindros play in such a way that even when he hit a player he would feel the effects of his own hit throughout his body.He couldn't play his own game and he knew it.That's why he could be seen at times wandering around,w/o much energy on the ice, in the end of his career.

@ogrebattle22763 You mix up two completely different things-first-Stevens accomplished enough to be in HHOF in according to its committee members.That's a completely different issue.The other thing though is his piece of shit hit on Lindros that obviously had nothing to do with the members' decision.I reiterate this again-I have nothing against Stevens' career,as a matter of fact I respected him because he was an "old school"player-no visor,tough,physical.But ,fuck him for the hit.

give me a break with that pathetic excuse. lindros liked to fight and play physical. dont tell me he "had" to do it.
matthew barnaby said lindros was one of the guys he had the easiest time getting under the skin of. thats not lindros "protecting himself", thats lindros being stupid/falling for agitator tactics and prefering fighting to playing hockey. barnaby was some kind of sean avery back in the day, i.e. not really a dirty player.
and lemieux never played hurt right?

@joyfulvulture Excuse me?Are you serious!?He hadn't been drafted number one years before his actual draft year for fighting.He was touted to be next Gretzky which in translation meant that he was better than Wayne as he was able to do things that No99 and others could only dream of.Lindros sold the games yet the flyers didn't take care of their gem.Well yeah,unlike Barnaby Lindros was a superstar that could fight,thus Barnaby knew that Lindros'd accept the challenge which'd thrill Barnaby.

ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Yep,he did have a tougher life on the ice.Wonder why?Because of his size,physicality,nastiness,being able to fight anyone,anytime,not having a protection on the ice,the opponents knew that they could kill him on the ice and there would be no revenge from his teammates and they had no fear to go ahead and go after Lindros.What are you talking about,he did take hits,just not headshots.Keep embarrassing yourself until November.

@ogrebattle22763 I'll be more than glad to refresh your memory.The boards' goal was to nominate first two female players ever in history into HHOF.It was supposed to overshadow any male player that year nominated into HHOF.It happened to be Dino Ciccarelli.Does he overshadow the two female players?I don't think so.Lindros would have.Use your brain,dude.

@ogrebattle22763 Enjoy your next eight months as much as you can,because then you'll look silly,ignorant and embarrassing.You're really trying hard not to see what's going on in the business.You live in a bubble,man.I've had my share of chuckles and disbelief too.

@88BigEtrain Lol... yeah sure sweety... we'll see come this November right... or maybe the November after that right... or maybe after that right.... LMAO! I live in a bubble????? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.....
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Yeah,we will.For now,feel free to ignore everything that's going on in the business of hockey involving Lindros all the way up to November.Then you'll get hit by a sledgehammer(that being an announcement of Lindros induction by the rational and in reality living board)and that should wake you up.
88BigEtrain 11 months ago
@88BigEtrain Yeah feel free to ignore everything about Lindros? Don't worry I have & I will... talk to me next November chief! Because I'm not going to want to hear any excuses from you come November! You'll be closing your account down by the time I'm finished with you!
ogrebattle22763 11 months ago
@ogrebattle22763 Oh.believe me,there won't be any come November.But,I'll be looking forward to your and other haters' reaction,when the induction becomes official.Of course,they won't make any sense,because there are no valid arguments,none,zip,against him.And closing my account down?There'd only be two possible reasons-shutting down all Lindros videos or people like yourself disappearing off all those pages.Neither one likely to happen

Lindros was an outstanding athlete. On of the most complete hockey players we'll ever see. The size and grit of a tough guy, but has moves like a small guy. When he was healthy, he was the most dangerous man on the ice.

It's heartbreaking to watch video like this.Eric's gone.....out of the game thanks to headhunters wanting his moments of fame knocking Lindros down.

@88BigEtrain Headhunters....lolololololol... yeah ok...
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 You don't need to have PhD to know that every time a player attacks the other player"s head with the only intent being to injure such a player without caring about the puck,assholes like Stevens,Doig,Kasparaitis to name just a few are headhunters meaning going after the most vulnerable part of human body.Fortunately,this garbage is being taken out of the game by the League.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain Stevens was of course a headhunter & why because Lindros took a massive hit from him a LEGAL hit I might add... a hit he will no doubt ever forget.... but here is a point I am going to make very clear to you Stevens is in fact a Hall Of Fame Defensemen a fact that you or anybody else cannot dispute Stevens was a clean player if you want to talk about dirty headhunters you moron talk about dirty scummy players like Tie Domi or Chris Pronger Or Colby armstrong who are dirty players
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Legal hit?That was one the biggest pieces of garbage hit that I've ever seen.I remember very well the pounding and beating that Stevens had taken from my man over the years.Stevens' frustration boiled over,just face the truth,Stevens had no other option how to stop Lindros,none,zip,zero.He knew what the circumstances before that hit were and his only goal was to cut Lindros' not only play-offs comeback but his career short.The only moron is you.Stevens' best hits are into heads.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain Your a complete jackass do me a favor & stuff it i'm not interested in your stupid comments about Styevens being a dirty player your an asshole plain an simple - i'll end this simply by saying Lindros won absolutely nothing in his tenure with The Flyers he was a total underachiever & didn't do jackshit when it counted... case in point he scored 1 meaningless goal in the Cup against the Red Wings near the end of the last game 1 you pathetic weasel....
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 I wonder,when you google Stevens or when you read about him,first thing you'll see is his hits into players' head and his most recognizable hit is that piece of shit he pulled off against Lindros.Kind of pathetic,if you ask me.That's the first thing that comes to fans' mind.They don't remember much more of him than that...
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain Right that's why he's in the HOF & your Big goofball fake superstar Lindros isn't shut up you moron your making a complete ass of yourself!

ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Look up my other comment on Lindros' induction.Keep making yourself sound silly and uninformed.I like all the negative and hatred spewing comments.They're easy to fend off as they are so shortsighted,ignoring the whole background behind the facts.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain uninformed lolololololol im still waiting for the greatest one to be inducted & chances are ill still be waiting for quite a bit more you dipshit... meanwhile shitty players & headhunters like scott stevens are already in the hall of fame ahead of the greatest player to ever play the game so tell me retard how does that happen... i guess we are all uninformed accept u right..... how is it scott stevens is in the hall of fame... but the great eric lindros is not... i think u know why
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Mark November in your calendar as the one that will suck and sting,because that's exactly when unofficial becomes official-Eric Bryan Lindros will be inducted into Hockey Hall of Fame.Shitty players and headhunters in HHOF?Type the list up and don't think too hard of the names.Lindros' first year of eligibility was last year and as you know the interest was to put in two female players first.That's why.
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
@88BigEtrain Yes thats right dickhead Stevens has 3 Cups to his name & is in the Hall Of Fame & got in instantly Lindros will never ever be in The Hall Of Fame so you have no argument your a Lindros groupie you no jack shit about hockey take your stupid shit someplace else.... I've come across morons before but you are the biggest by far... goodnight sweetheart....
ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Lindros will be inducted this year and I'll be there in person to witness all that.You'd better crawl back into your cave,because It'll be a worldwide sport event.Unlike you,even people who don't follow hockey know who Lindros is.They have never heard of Stevens though.That kind of sums things up right there.Give your head a big shake.

ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Dream on,idiot....Jagr had nothing,absolutely nothing on Lindros except his stickhandling abilities as a typical Euro.I think,as a good joke I may accept your comment.It's truly unique.Btw,I respect the Devils organization,particularly Lou Lamoriello whom i consider one of the smartest and most efficient GMs in the business.I don't respect Scott Stevens,period.

ogrebattle22763 1 year ago
@ogrebattle22763 Jagr will be in HHOF,correct.Btw ,he won only one when he was a total rookie and thanks to Mario.But regardless,I don't care about the Cups.The Cup can be won by the worst players in the NHL if they happen to be in the right place at the right time.Lindros was one of my best entertainment investments ever.I got plenty in return,I don't need the Cup
88BigEtrain 1 year ago
there's no way the Leafs proposal presented in the video to acquire Lindros is correct. Toronto wouldn't give our only goalie, our captain and our best defenseman. Lindros is one of my 3 favourite all-time players (Lindros, Wendel Clark, Gary Roberts) and the day he eventually did come to Toronto I was jumping up and down. just saying that I really doubt we would give all that back when those guys brought us to a conference final.

Jawz4devils 2 years ago
All he has to do is look in the mirror. He skated with his head down frequently and people made him pay. I mean being a Flyers fan I'll love the guy to death. He was what every hockey player should be, but in the end he was his own undoing.
mgkibbles 2 years ago
@TheRealOzzie234 Well said,man.The most responsible player for prematurely ending his career was obviously Scott Stevens-a cowardly asshole with his blatant piece of shit hit and with clear intent to end Lindros' career.But let me tell you something-Stevens isn't ashamed a bit,in fact he still believes that hits in a head are perfectly fine.Pretty much saying "fuck you doctors,fuck consequences of such hits."If I ever happen to meet Stevens, I'll tell him in his face what I think of the hit.
