It looks like former Flyers captain Eric Lindros is finally calling it quits. He is officially retiring tomorrow after trying to give it a go with Dallas. I remember all of the hype that surrounded him when he came to Philly (and the griping about who we gave up to get him, including one Peter Forsberg before his major foot problems.) Watching him on the Legion of Doom line with Renberg and LeClair (who just got a DUI, by the way) was one of the great joys of being a Flyers fan in the 90's. The 1997 Cup run was fantastic, until we ran into the Red Wings and got swept. The drama between the Lindros family and Bobby Clarke led to Lindros being traded to New York (of all places!), but not before he developed his concussion problems. I still believe the hit by Scott Stevens in the 2000 ECF was illegal, and don't try to convince me otherwise. Watch it yourself:
Anyway, good luck Eric. Wish him all the best.
