OMFG YES, He takes out his back legs and just smashes him down... Thats what he gets for trying to "hit" someone double his size.

Cheap or not, it was bad ass.

@toekneeeyeoweme people headhunted him he would have been great if he didnt get elbowed like 10 times he fought hatcher and won the little guys go after him

It's like poking a bear.

I remember that hit. They showed DiMaio on the bench afterward. He was actually crying. That must have been some wicked pain.

@LegendaryGoetz you re a wicked monster. Can you sleep at night. You re a pure evil.

If you had 8 concussions, you'd be angry

@s8tank I won't deny that DiMaio deserved whatever he got. But Lindros was just plain mean. Dirty shots, elbows, and after a guy went down in a fight most players would back off-not Lindros. Guy's got some anger issues.

@thatguyizzy6 - Good for you, you saw the 1st one - the elbow that Lindros ignored. Did you happen to see the 2nd? The forearm which was an attempt to drive Lindros' head into the glass and, far worse yet, complete the simultaneous can opener (both were well after Lindros' delivered the pass and interference)? Bertuzzi'd?  You're kidding me right? The two plays had nothing in common. Again, why should Lindros should take that crap? DiMaio got just what he deserved.

@horseshoes100 You're kidding me, right? He got what he deserved? So, let's add this up: slightly high elbow into the shoulder + taking the player you're defending out of the play = slewfoot and Rob DiMaio almost getting Bertuzzi'd. Oh, but wait! He 'took crap' from other players! Why, that magically absolves him from any blame!
