Aresenio was a much better interview than I gave him credit for back in the day. Compared to what's out there right now in 2021, his approach was far more down to earth.
I loved watching him play in the late 90's and on. He was a skilled powerhouse. I miss that type of player, skill, and league. It's a shame he suffered through so many concussions...his brother Brett also played and retired VERY early after a few concussions that affected him severely. He was one of the tops in average points per game, as well as MVP and HOF. I'll always love Lindros!
It’s unfortunate he didn’t have better coaching growing up. Someone needed to be real with him and tell him eventually stickhandling with his head down was going to catch up with him
The only criticism I would have of him was buying into playing overly physical. He had so much creative talent that overemphasizing that part of his game took a little bit away from his skilled side in the end.
I agree. People of today's age don't realize how talented he was. He could knock you out and score 40-50 goals a year. I will admit he made it fun when he did his antics. I'm a sabres fan and those brawls were amazing. He would run the goalie or the crowd would chant his name. Injuries are horrible but at the time he made the game super fun.
@@davidkruse4030 agreed. The flyers did. They put nothing around him with third or fourth lines with scoring and skill. Flyers were a one-line team with the legion of Doom. Bobby Clark and Ed Snider forgot about the rest of the team. They had one great scoring line that's it. And the rest of their team was muckers and grinders. Flyers ran him into the ground
he's being himself. That's what's best about this unlike all the other fakes . he was expected to be the next one not many can imagine that pressure . Good post. Thanks
He kept his head down wayyyy too much and payed for it dearly. He had the size and hands he just needed to keep his head up and could of ran over guys trying to run over him. Shame
A flop by many accounts . He was expected to be " The One " ! A multi-million dollar and 5 player trade But never lived up to anything . He had a good career but so did a hundred other players . His fight card is shabby for such a huge guy . No memorible fights . He has never had a 50 goal season . This is the only player to refuse to wear the shirt of the team that drafted him !
47tooter if you knew the real story that Eric Lindros refused to play for the Quebec Nordiques because of their high level management said some derogatory things about his mother and father, so forgive Eric for standing up for his parents honor and refusing to wear that sweater. When your career is over you cannot ultimately control a team's success or not because hockey is a team sport that wins Cups or not, but for you to suggest and describe his hockey career as a " flop" is laughable and downright ridiculous and insulting to anyone who has an eye for hockey and talent because there was a 4 to 5 year period of time in the NHL that The Big E dominated play in the NHL " you joker!!!
47tooter it's the nature of the beast in those days in the NHL that you gave as much as got in return ! - he was a fantastic and a complete hockey " you joker."
@@mygirlpiper My point is he was a good player , not the superstar many thought he would be . Many players were better with half the pay and recognition , Cam Neely was better .
47tooter I can respect your opinion and Eric did live up to the hype but many factors came into play that he did not reach the highest point of the hockey mountain ! Are you kidding right ? On a Draft day straight up Cam Neely or Eric Lindros - I'm sorry I'm picking The Big E all day long and every time over Cam Neely 😆😂 - we disagree and that's OK."
He was ahead of his time. If he played today not only would he have a longer, healthier career we’d be talking top 5 all time.

I seen him play for Oshawa Generals..he was a beast
So is your mother!!! SHEESH!!!!! I'm just kidding, 😂😂😂😂😂, have a good night buddy!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

1:45 - 'weaknesses' = skating with HEAD DOWN
He didn't mention lemieux who was the best player in the 90s
"I don't shoot like Hull, I don't pass like Gretzky and I don't play defense like...Keith Acton." ;)
One of the best, always loved watching him play.
This my MAN!! He was Philly allllllday
It’s unfortunate he didn’t have better coaching growing up. Someone needed to be real with him and tell him eventually stickhandling with his head down was going to catch up with him
He was a beast
the fashion back then, haha. that being said lindros is a stud
Classic , they had to decapitate him to stop him but he was something we still haven t seen since
I always thought Lindros was a dead ringer for the guy who played the O lineman in the movie Rudy.
Arsenio was awesome
Joe Sakic was ahead of his time, look at the Stanley Cup he won, and then look who you’re talking to
88. Topgun.
The only man to refuse to go to the team that drafted him lol.
Quebec sucks. Lol
@@sumwear7123 doesn't matter of they sucked, they ended up winning
Winning what exactly? Moving to Colorado? Lol
@@sumwear7123 the cups that Colorado won
In hockey yes. Sports no. Eli Manning refused to be a charger.
He would had been good in Vancouver.. Lindros, Bure and Linden? Hello cup :)
GamerzDailyFix tough thought.
Dam I miss late 80s 90s fashion 😂

That was the flyers. They almost killed him
This guy thought he was bigger than the league and refuse to report to the Quebec Nordiques who drafted him.

ARSE SEEN YO. Is he Somali? Props boi.
This is pretty awkward. Eric is in fantasy land.
He was #1 NHL Draft Pick - but ended up at Flyers !
he's being himself. That's what's best about this unlike all the other fakes .
he was expected to be the next one not many can imagine that pressure .
Good post. Thanks
Dan Addesa but he didn't turn into the next one.
He’s a goof
I can tell him what one of his weaknesses is......... Ouch !!!!
He Didn't speak French !
is that a wig? lol
He kept his head down wayyyy too much and payed for it dearly. He had the size and hands he just needed to keep his head up and could of ran over guys trying to run over him. Shame
The big E
Separated at birth, Patrick Swayze ?
Ohhhh he's got a weakness alright
Concussions?
Scott Stevens?
He has not aged very well......
Gay?
Nope. Married to a Quebec girl with lots of kids
@zigzagwandra I would say yes, you are.
