Stars line pegged the legion of doom - is this right?

[Dirty Dan]

Do you guys think this is alright? Benn - Seguin - Radulov playing the top line
Not sure why this is a thing, they have yet to achieve anything noteworthy

The legion of doom was the flyers line

the second coming was the Kulemin-Grabovski-McArthur line

No. Heard him say it a few times now. Not even remotely close.

 

[Dirty Dan]

Well they are one series closer to that title after that OT goal

whoa there. When did we all decide this?

 

[The Madrigal]

The Legion of Doom is, was, and always will be Lindros, LeClair, and Renberg. Period, end of story.

 

[uncleben]

Kulemin-Grabovski-McArthur was known as "Mac and the U.S.S.R.", a play on the Beatles song, "Back in the U.S.S.R."


Who are they calling the "Legion of Doom" on Dallas? Should include that in the OP...

LOL ! that fits better

Maybe that stars line was a legion of doom in the nightclubs, but they showed me something today. and the team in general like the isles has really improved defensively this year

Please, we don't need any more fuel for the HF posters who think Benn is a better PF than Lindros.

If benn was consistently a 90 point player, would you debate it?

Bad couple of seasons, but he feasted on the preds.

No, there's no comparison between the two. Prime Lindros would dominate this league, Benn is very good to great, but not elite like E was. Injuries and draft drama tarnished Lindros' legace, highlights of his physical player overshadow his skilled plays, but he was truly an elite player that controlled the game like a very few players ever have.

People say Lindros wouldn't be as good today because he couldn't get away with as much stuff, but I think it's just the opposite. He'd be even better because he'd be much more focused on just playing hockey as well as not being taken out by the predatory hitters.

Honestly idk how Benn vs Lindros ever became a thing, there's just no comparison.

TIL the Flyers first line pegged a wrestling tag team.

[Seras]

I'm thinking that those people never saw Lindros play

 

[Oddbob]

Who exactly is calling them this? Never heard it!

As I recall it they where called the legion of broom!!!

 

[Kcb12345]

NBC and their broadcasters. To be fair, they get most of the Stars players names wrong so anything they say really isn't worth reading into

 

[Pirate Deadpool]

Lindros wasn't even better than the player that was sent the other way.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Look I love how Forsberg played the game, and he ended up having the better career.

BUt Prime Lindros was a player the league had never seen before, and hasn't seen since. If concussions hadn't slowed him down, he'd be up there in terms of the all time greats not named Howe, Gretzky or Lemieux.

Prime Lindros could dominate a game in every way. He was an absolute force.

here's a hard truth that people always trying to ignore his injuries don't like to admit about Lindros

the only universe where a Lindros without major injuries could exist would be one where he played much differently,the way he played the game inevitably lead to it
