This just reminded of a game I was at against Boston in 98. The Bruins had been chipping Lindros the whole game. And then Tim Taylor got his stick up and Lindros had enough.

The only ones who came close were Macleish in the mid 70s, especially during the playoffs, Reggie Leach during the 76 playoffs when he seemed to score every time he touched the puck, Primeau at times during the 04 playoffs and Foppa during the first couple of months of the 05-06 season.
But no one, absolutely no one, did it night in and night out like #88 in his prime. For a short time he electrified fans the way Orr and Mario did in their primes. There has never been a combo of pure skill, power and ferocity like Eric Lindros during those peak years.
If only he had ever learned to skate with his head up, but it’s hard to blame him as at every level, he was just so much bigger and stronger than everyone else that it just didn’t matter. - BiggE
I think his dad was quoted as saying something about Eric's never having to learn to skate with his head up.

Macleish is so underrated as a player. So dam good. With the long hair skating around like the wind with a wicked wrist shot. Also tough as nails. Nobody wanted to mess with him.

Bob Kelly said that, by far, Macleish was the strongest player on the team. He didn’t fight much, but if you got him angry look out, he was tough as nails.
I feel as tho I need to clarify some thing in regards to nopa from previous thread. First off and most importantly I do NOT have any ill feelings toward nopa and have absolutely no desire for his career to be over. I hope he recovers and continues career and excels. I would never wish injury on anyone. I’m no sicko. With that said and hopefully fully understood my comments of fake migraine boy are in jest to the situation. Nothing more. I absolutely believe the team lied (maybe not intentionally or maliciously about a concussion) but to clear up why it’s important is because it affects the team for future and how they and we as fans perceive it and as fans talk about it. For example, who plays 3c who’s possible here or signed or brought up. Who moves to wing and such. So when fans say nopa will be back because “it’s a migraine condition he’s had from childhood “ when again no one can produce an ARTICLE MJL who can’t comprehend I asked for an ARTICLE not a MEDICAL REPORT. Producing an article would never violate hippa. Many articles written about draft players health. And it’s all relevant in today’s age because so much more info on concussions. So the odds that nopa could possibly not play again like primeau are greater than ever. Do I think it’ll go that way? Probably not. Do I think nopa will be back? Yeah probably will and I sincerely hope he does. Would I be surprised if he’s not back? Wouldn’t be shocked at all because I know this isn’t just migraine related from childhood. This is from trauma. Obviously from concussion. I don’t need a medical report to come to that conclusion.

You're a fraud. That's the only thing that you have clarified. You have no evidence that the team lied. None and you haven't and can't produce any proof. You challenged the board and that challenge was answered. Time for you to eat crow. Put up or shut up. Produce the proof and the evidence that the team lied. Time for you to man up! You won't because we already know that you can't. Now back to ignoring you.
You misinterpreted correlation for causation, then said you had revised your post and noticed the difference, and then you continued to argue as though I had said causation. There is never any provable causation in social matters, only degrees of correlation.
Then you asked for something, and then say you don't want it.
Having said that, I am glad you don't. It would have been a tedious debate.
Remember back in March when you were posting about 5G causing Covid. Good times man. - hereticpride
He is a nice guy, but his connection with evidence is...spectacularly tenuous. In the past he has mentioned that he would have thought all the chemo Oskar did should kill the virus if it comes in his body. And that Covid counts in Florida are vastly inflated.
That last one is a perpetual favorite btw. I have argued with an idiot Isles fan and MJL on Ek's thread about it. Scientific American, that 175 year old American institution that is in every high school library around the country did a comprehensive article about it this week.
i think you would be better served if you pointed out that when you wrote:
"Not being argumentative but I challenge anyone to produce just 1 article showing anywhere we here nopa sufferered from migraines predraft:"
the pre-draft part refers to the time of publication of the article you were seeking.
It should be obvious from the context of what you were talking about, but given who you are arguing with, most things go over his head, and so.. - PT21
Again, you show a ridiculous lack of logic. The articles produced contained statements where the GM stated that Patrick suffered from migraines when he was younger and in junior hockey which was in fact PRE-DRAFT! As well as having a family history. Now if he had phrased the question "show me an article that was written pre-draft that said that Patrick had a migraine issue, then you might have a point. As someone who is uber educated and works in academia, you should be able to grasp that simple nuance. The key words are "suffered from migraines pre draft". That's obviously over your head.
I'm glad you mentioned context. Here is another logic failure on your part. His premise which goes straight to context was that he does not have a migraine issue but has concussion issues from the hits he took playing for the Flyers and that he has a migraine issue that he also had previously as a younger player is a lie! That is the only context that matters! He attempted to use that as evidence to support his agenda. It does not do so and you know it doesn't.
Might be the first JT album I heard in full, but probably not until 1980 or so. I thought it was fantastic back the, and I still think it's fantastic today.

I think the issue here is, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, is that it is unclear if the migraine history was known pre-draft or if it was learned post-draft. Nobody is arguing that there is a history. When was the history learned?
Is there an article/story/statement dated before June 23, 2017 that mentions this history? Sincere question, not being argumentative.

This is the part where you make crap up because you're too cowardly to debate me directly. Like I said many times. Take your rhetoric to the misc thread and I'll be glad to meet you there and debate you directly.

You're only partially correct Scoob. Your first statement I believe is true. However the poster in question is stating that the team is lying about it being a migraine issue and has nothing to do with migraines and it is strictly a concussion issue. That the team is making up the migraine part to hide the concussion issue.

There is so much wrong with that article that debunking it would take as much space as the article itself. The number of people who have died from covid-19 are both over inflated and under-stated at the same time. Yes, that's possible. The fact of the matter is that we will never know how many people truly died as a direct result of this virus. To state otherwise is simply irresponsible.

I can't get behind that theory as it's too easy to prove.
Still on the open items list is finding a pre- June 23, 2017 article/story/interview that mentions it. It's relevant to quiet/support the "they knew he had this issue yet drafted him anyway" argument.

Youre not going to find them. The only way someone would be able to find that out predraft is if Nolan's doctors or somebody associated, with access to his medical records, violated HIPAA and leaked that info.

It is a great album, and I was lucky enough to be able to see Ian Anderson live.
Nowadays I listen almost exclusively to classical music, but that is one of the few albums I listened to in my youth and that I still listen to several times a year.
