I'm not talking about his off-ice accomplishments. I am talking about his on ice play. As far as I know, it was his playing style that made the NHL institute penalties for "elbowing" and "kneeing." Not exactly what I would call the "paragon of the sport."What BS antics from Lindsay are you even talking about? Helping build the foundations for the NHLPA so players weren't underpaid property anymore? Playing tough as a small player in a big man's league in an age when protective equipment was more ornamental than effective and there were no helmets?
I can't fathom even mentioning Lindsay in the same breath as the dirtbags we've been discussing in this thread. One man is a paragon of the sport, has a trophy named after him and is a large part of the reason why the players are making millions now. The others mentioned in this thread are a stain on the sport.
Beat me to it." His rough play caused the NHL to develop penalties for 'elbowing' and 'kneeing' to discourage hitting between players using the elbows and knees"
