Lindros to Toronto

I know this is old news...

But this is the best thing to happen to Toronto since Syl Apps was captain of the team in the 40s. Yeah Toronto is shit. There's no doubt about that, who's the only original 6 team to not make the finals since 1967?

Toronto.

And that's because there is a God.

We'd never hear the end of it. Just like Dougie Gilmour, what do you think when you hear his name besides Chunky Soup and an all around failing team in Toronto that made the semi-finals once in his run? Maple Maple Maple Leafs.

Too bad his best year was when he WON the cup in Calgary. But that's Toronto media for you, I mean Tie Domi has a commercial on TV for fuck sakes, and he was expendable as a Winnipeg Jet.

Now, Eric Lindros. Everyone always looks back to one play. Stevens hit him. One concussion, one highlight. But where's the highlights of Lindros beating the hell of out Stevens twice? In a fight nonetheless. Grab a Lindros fight tape, you'll see first hand.

OK, so the Flyers went down after that hit. It did kill the motivation of the team. Lindros soon joined the Rangers and in his years there held a 0.876 points per game average.

Yet, fans would like to have Nedved with his 0.327, Bure with his 0.486, Jagr with his 0.858, or even a 44 year old Messier at 0.2122.

Lindros was the best player in NY. But nobody cared to watch. Damn near a point per game in the Bermuda Triangle NY Rangers.

Lets not forget his last "concussion" 22 months ago (lockout included) he didn't leave the ice, he skated down and beat the shit out of Jason Doig.

Eric Lindros is going to not only win the Masterson Trophy this year, he'll be the best Maple Leaf (and you know what that means a good 10 votes for MVP).

Get over your bias, the 1995 MVP is as back as the 2000 Pronger in Edmonton.
