It was Don Cherry who gave the best analysis of what happened to Lindros career.
He said that in juniors, Lindros got into the horrible habit of watching the puck onto his stick, but since he was so big when the other kids would line him up for a big hit they would just bounce off.
Lindros was never able to break the habit. In the NHL, those guys don't bounce off. And Scott Stevens will kill you.
