I can't remember who the Flyers were up against in the playoffs but it was about 1996, a couple of years after Messier's impressive guarantee of a victory against the Devils. Messier delivered in spades that night.
So, a couple of years later, Lindros is going to be a man and do the same thing.
Of course, the Flyers got hammered 7-3 and eliminated from the playoffs that night.
Lindros is such a punk.
Yeah I remember that. It was back in '96. They were plaing Florida and they just lost in OT at home in game 5 to go down 3-2 in the series. I remember Lindros saying they were going to win in an interview while he was getting dressed. They lost Game 6 4-1.
The thing with Lindros is that when a team focused on him heavily and checked him closely, he never could deliver and rise above it. It happened in '95 with NJ, and Team USA did that to him at the '96 World Cup. Florida had the dreaded trap then, and Lindros just couldnt adjust.
