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

[PoutineSp00nZ]

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 one he played the game inevitably lead to it

Or one where he learned to skate with his head up

Doesn't change the fact that he was on of the best players in the history of the game before the concussions.

 

[PALE PWNR]

Or one where the NHL protected its stars. If he played in todays league he'd dominate.

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

What exactly did the flyers line achieve?

 

[McGarnagle]

TIL the Flyers first line pegged a wrestling tag team.

WHAT A RUSH

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

If Benn is Lindros is Radulov Jagr?

 

[PattyLafontaine]

Feel bad for people who missed out on the NHL from the 1990s. They do not understand how good Bure and Lindeos were.

Only line i think could have been legion of doom lite was team canada running:
Prime
Benn Getzlaf Perry

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Dallas line should be called 'The Strike Force', or 'Mega Powers'.

Legion of Doom was a wrestling Tag Team that was already used.

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

Pre injury Lindros was the most physically dominant player in the last 50 years. He was the Night King the rest of the league had to band together to stop because he was coming to take them all. There has never been another player who changed the way other teams drafted players not to emulate, but to defend themselves from. Look at the sizes of the players drafted post Lindros. 6'6" players everywhere. His Achilles heel was his physicality. Because he was so big, nobody in juniors could hit him, so he had the habit of skating with his head down. Any one of the hits that took him down would be a 40 games suspension by today's rules. If he played today, pre concussion, I don't know how you stop him without taking a penalty. I don't know if you could.

 

[Juicy Pop]

There hasn't been a player quite like Lindros since, so no.

The only way that anyone managed to actually deal with him was through cheapshots that, in this era, would undoubtedly see the offender kicked out of the league.

 

[MXD]

The Legion Of Doom is, first and foremost, a Wrestling Tag Team.

 

[Pantokrator]

Legion of Doom is from the Super Friends cartoon from the 70s.

But Jim Montgomery was the guy who nicknamed the Flyers line Legion of Doom back in 95. Montgomery was a minor leaguer for the Flyers then and had a few call ups. So I don't know if he has some connection to the name again since he is Dallas' coach.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Nobody is scared of Seguin, Benn or Radulov lol

 

[ScaredStreit]

Ridiculous. Dallas is a team I like...but nobody on that line has ever been remotely close to Lindros in this prime/peak.

 

[ScaredStreit]

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

Yes he was. Better career or healthier player =/= better player.

 

[Cotton]

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

That's pure nonsense.

 

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

Any one of the hits that took him down would be a 40 games suspension by today's rules. If he played today, pre concussion, I don't know how you stop him without taking a penalty. I don't know if you could.

The irony here is that Lindros would be suspended a lot himself by today's rules. I loved pre-concussion Lindros but he played reckless and with a mean streak too. I miss him and this era though.

 

[POVERTY]

Please don't disrespect Grabovski by lumping him in with soft players like Lindros and Benn.

 

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

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

Every HF posters who are thinking that just deserve a big LOL in their face.

 

[bert]

Rantanen Mackinnon Landeskog would be the closest thing to the legion of doom in my opinion, they all play power games.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

People who didn't see Lindros in his prime before concussions have no idea what they missed.

 

[Nizdizzle]

lol

Not outside Toronto.

Nor inside Toronto for that matter...

No idea where OP got that from.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Every HF posters who are thinking that just deserve a big LOL in their face.

Not many, but some...

TSN: Benn looking like a reincarnation of Lindros

They're calling the Stars line this because Montgomery said that, when they're on, they remind him of the Legion of Doom.
