A better comparison probably might be somebody like Cam Neely. Another guy who's career was limited due to injuries.
If it were the hockey that is played today, I'd say Eric would have been one of the all time greats to ever play the game, but with the amount of fighting, illegal hits and other shenanigans that went on during his time, it is obvious it took a toll on him, sadly.

A couple recent additions and one of the best hockey pics of all time, imo.

No, not a personal pic. I noticed it somewhere, sometime ago and just saved it.

Talk about a bunch of superstars all in one pic!

that's a great photo! and maybe lindros didn't live up to all the expectation, but he's a hof'er. the hockey hof is not as tough as baseball, i'd like to see kariya in there also...he's even more borderline than lindros.

It's a shame both players careers were cut short due to injuries. Those 2 guys brought something to the game that was rarely, or ever seen before.

Kariya played 15 years. I guess by hockey standards that is short because so many of these guys seem to play into their 40s.
