Saw Eric play when he was with the Oshawa Generals and came to my hometown Sudbury to play the Wolves. Got him to sign his "Score" "Future Superstar" hockey card. Sports card collecting was huge when I was a kid. He was such a dominant player and fun to watch. When hockey was hockey!!
Eric was a machine and great to watch. The sure strength he played with awesome. I liked the more physical play when Canada would hit hard and make you second guess touching the puck was a useful tool. Now they want to be too fancy. Eric has a place 10 minutes down the road from where I live and I’d love to go see him and tell home how much I loved watching him play and of course get his signature on a few things. Eric has good insight on how the game should be played at a JR level and he’s smart not to say too much to be polite. 88 is a Great player and has great insight and could help team Canada 🇨🇦 turn things around next year. Just saying
Stevens was a complete loser. He was an angry little boy because Lindros made a fool of him in his own arena. Stevens can still go to jail for what he did.
@@Jimmer-Space88 lol Thanks troll. "First, based on the results of psychopathy and sadism, we understand the internet troll as someone who is callous, lacks a sense of personal responsibility and enjoys causing others harm. The significance of psychopathy in the results also indicates trolls have an empathy deficit, particularly when it comes to their ability to experience and internalise other people’s emotions. On top of this, the interaction between high sadism and high self-esteem suggests trolls are not trolling because they have low self-worth. In fact, this is quite the opposite. The more someone enjoys hurting others and the better they feel about themselves, the more likely they are to troll." Have a great day, and God Bless you, Friend. I hope things get better.
Eric nailed what’s been missing with our past couple World Junior Teams in the first minute of the interview. I to believe we have got away from our Canadian bread and butter style of physical hockey and have adopted a more European approach with primary focus on skill alone. I think it’s time Hockey Canada 🇨🇦 get back to its roots and try a more traditional approach next year. I understand it’s tough when it comes to refereeing and the calls in this tournament but at this point what do we have to lose. Maybe Eric L could help assemble the team next year ? 😊
Sad state of affairs when Eric Lindros bites his tongue and reserves his thoughts about Team Canada, and then makes mention of the politics in the GTHL. He should have a prominent role in Canadian youth and Junior hockey. Instead, he has to tread lightly for fear of reprisal on his kids.
@@angelbrooks2023 It was arrogant Lindros who was bigger and stronger in the mthl and the juniors who always skated with his head down. Don't blame Stevens, Kasperitis and others for correcting his arrogance and humbling him.
Lindros could never play today's game.He was awful at stick handling and had no vision to find his teammates since he had to skate with his head down. He was fast once he got going but His acceleration was horrible today's game is all about stops and starts while controlling the puck and being able to view the whole ice at all times!
I don't know. It's hard to say. Lindros was incredibly dominant his first 5 or 6 years. Despite close checking and playing in the Dead Puck Era he still got a lot of points per game and he was the first huge mofo to also have the skill and finesse of a small guy. I like the game now but I loved the game back then. I miss players like Theo Fleury, Jeremy Roenick and Eric Lindros.
Met him at a golf tournament in 1991. He was humble and super friendly.
Big E hype in 89-90-91 will never be matched. What a legend.
Lindros's body checking on Team Canada was off the charts amazing.
2:20 for anyone tuning in, go to this time mark as this is probably the most accurate thing Eric has said in a while.

His rookie card is worth nothing now lol
Lindros was a beast , nice to hear him and his professional opinions ❤

a place of business or residence? What's he up to these days? I know he wrote a book not that long ago.
Met Eric when I was working on a house close to his and he is a class act.
Big E, used to watch him on cable10 with the half blue, half red Gennies helmet.
HOW TF YOU PULL ERIC LINDROS!!? TLN is best
It's a real shame Scott Stevens ended this guys career. I remember at the time hitting the head was legal! Lindros and Paul Kariya were robbed.
It was awful watching Stevens end careers like that. Kariya, Lindros and then finally his own career.
Keep your head up ...Orr, Lindros ...only Kariya was robbed ...Suter a criminal 😮
Stevens was a complete loser. He was an angry little boy because Lindros made a fool of him in his own arena. Stevens can still go to jail for what he did.
@@angelbrooks2023COME’ON bro
Eric Lindros was unstoppable! Great to see and hear him!!
He was stopped

Make Eric the next world Junior coach.
Awesome to hear Eric talk shop! And especially hearing the excitement in his voice talking about Knies. ❤

So great to see Eric.Really miss that guy
Man he was a fast fierce force. A huge shame his career wasn’t longer.
Lindros looks like he’s in a witness protection video
He is. You didn't hear? Thats why its shocking he's even doing this interview
lol how old is lindros now? He’s aging rapidly
What a beauty
Him and Dionne are the best to never win a cup. Still doesnt take away from their greatness. Lindros is a beauty
Good interview with Eric Lindros
Nice to see an NHL podcast where every second word isn't an F Bomb. 👋👋
should have been a leaf from day 1 period
At the time He should have said something about the Quebec GM...it would have taken a lot of heat of him and his family
Roger that

Wayne's biggest regret must be not signing here like all the big names did to round out their career.
Lindros steamrolled players until Scott Stevens steamrolled him.
You guys let him off the hook too easily with regards to the junior team . I suspect it is because he is on the Hockey Canada payroll..
boy stevens really humbled him...
Stevens was a cheap-shot artist. He'd line you up from across the ice and lead straight to the head.
@@michaelcollins2473Violent headhunter who gets zero respect from me.
He was a sociopath. I hated that guy. Shortened Kariya's, Lindros' and finally his own career.
Stevens didn't humble anyone. He's a bum and should be in jail.
@@angelbrooks2023 It was arrogant Lindros who was bigger and stronger in the mthl and the juniors who always skated with his head down. Don't blame Stevens, Kasperitis and others for correcting his arrogance and humbling him.
Doesn’t even look like Lindros. The lighting isn’t very good tho
Time escapes nobody…

Horrendous take. He would dominant still to this day.
Imagine Marner or Nylander trying to take the puck off Big E lol
I don’t think so.😊
@@ThatsAPaddlin88can you imagine lindros ever keeping up with those 2 - I’m a Lindros fan but he was never fast
He was a bully and a jerk. No humility at all
