Dude Lindros never lived up to his potential. I'm so glad they traded him, the Nordiques definitely got the better end of it.

It's just like the (then) Baltimore Colts with John Elway. Take him & then trade him. That was absolutely the right thing to do. Although Elway was just a jerkface, pure & simple. Eric had two problems: Carl Lindros & Bonnie Lindros.

With how much money he made he could have bought a translator to talk to French people

@hockeynahal Who gives a shit about how many people live in a city man? You're retarded! We are talking about hockey fans moron, not population. Toronto may have less people, but they average almost 2000 more fans per night than the Rangers, and 8000 more than the Islanders.. And I'm not saying I want a team in Toronto, I'm saying they would deserve a team instead of Quebec any day. And sorry, I'll correct myself. The people of Quebec are some of the most ignorant people in the world.

@Shawsby7 i'm not french. you ignorant fuck! i live in quebec, that doesn't make me french! fucking dumbass. I don't care if toronto is the #1 hockey market, quebec city has a deep hockey culture and as a montrealer i understand and respect that. You have the Leafs and that's enough! Toronto isn't New York City, it doesn't have a "Long Island" to put another team on. Where is it gonna play? Missisauga? fuck man, NYC has 18 million people in its area, toronto has 7 million, learn the facts

@hockeynahal Maybe you should read up on your facts. Quebec was the second smallest market in professional sports in all of North America. Lindros made it clear he wouldn't play for Quebec prior to the draft, so why was everyone so fucking surprised when he requested a trade. Toronto on the other hand, is a top 5 hockey market in the entire league. I swear French people are some of the most ignorant, self-righteous bastards. You might as well leave because you're an embarrassment to our country.

@Shawsby7 You'd rather retire than play for quebec? You're the fucking prick! why does toronto NEED a second team? thats horse shit, quebec hasn't had a team in over a decade and you want TWO? you're a racist prick who hates fench canadians. fuck you, go suck the queen's dick!

@Shawsby7 Its alright idk what I was thinking that night.

[Shawsby7]

@Sithlord703 Haha, I agree with you man, sorry for my harsh comments.

[Sithlord703]

@Shawsby7 My opinion has changed drastically, after the whole Randy Cunneyworth situation in Quebec I lost alot of respect for Quebec, I think Lindros was right with what he did.

[Shawsby7]

@Sithlord703 Why don't you get your facts right you prick. It had almost nothing to do with money. I would rather retire than play for Quebec, thank god they are out of the league. Toronto needs a second team before Quebec ever gets one.
