Very true. Lindros was a very underrated fighter, and fought a fair amount in the beginning of his career before his concussion issues. He actually handled Scott Stevens a few times in scraps.
- PLindbergh31

I'm not so sure he was underrated ... people knew he was a tough sob. I think he won every fight he had with the exception of a couple with McSorely, and maybe 1 or 2 others. I'm not sure how many fights Lindros had, but I bet his record was something like 30 - 3.

edit: probably more like 20 - 3. Not sure they allowed Eric to fight that much after the first 5 or so years.

Unreal. You are the black cloud that hovers over this franchise.

Lindros rarely lost fights, usually the other guy had trouble handling his strength
- puckhead17


Yup. Huge guy, with a ton of strength. He would usually be able to manhandle most guys.

Other than the WayneTrain, I think the last Flyer to win a fight was Donald Brashear.

Last white guy to win a fight for the Flyers was Dave Brown...

- PLindbergh31


Come on! Cote's KO of Andre Roy was unforgettable!


LEIGHT.

True. Underrated is the wrong word, when people think about Lindros they don't associate him with fighting usually. I would have to look it up, but I think he has a good amount more than 30 fighting majors.

JVR was dazzling tonight!

I'd give these lines a try:

JVR // Giroux // Simmonds
Hartnell // Briere // Jagr

I'd mention Carcillo beating up Talbot ... but that game didn't end so well.

I blame the interminable delay on getting through on the Byrz-bash hotline. I was distracted.

He also made Chara his female dog while the Big Z was with the Islanders.

No Hartnell & Giroux are great together, as Briere & Jagr are starting to look, (Jagr is "firecrackering Briere it seems)
