In my old age, I cannot remember if somebody mentioned Richard Lintner.
I always wish some player called him Dick Lint as his nickname...what a wasted opportunity.Lintner had a fairly good size and it took NHL teams a while to understand that he really really doesn't play any defense. But solid with the puck, fine hands and heavy shot.

I mentioned him in the Remember Some Guys thread. I feel like he’d absolutely have a place in the current NHL and do well.
I must respectfully disagree with your assessment of Mr. Lintner. Even with his offensive ability, I feel like his lack of desire to play defense would not have gone over well even today.
I feel like some bottom dweller would have him, let him rack up points and ship him to a contender for a playoff run as a missing piece/sheltered part who can chip in. And then someone like JR would sign him to an awful deal saying they can teach him defense while his offensive upside is too good to pass up.
Maxim Lapierre; who JR supposedly had to ask Crosby for permission to bring in.
That dude sucked.
Really? I thought we was p good here.

I don’t like trying to intentionally injure someone.
I still don’t like his cheap shots and dirty hits targeting players with their heads down.It’s a physical game & these guys wear pads. They know the risks. It isn’t ice dancing out there.

Cut him some slack man, he is a funny guy!Didn't you know the only way to separate the man from the puck is to brain him or potentially cripple him for life?

Yeah I bet Matt Cooke had jokes, too.
