Sums up your point? The Stevens hit had absolutely nothing to do with Lindros career going downhill after it. That hit didn't cause the later concussion and wrist injury that effectively ended his career.Sums up my point, but you keep bringing the word 'ending', which I corrected to say 'shortened' in this context. He was bred to be the GOAT. As a comparison, imagine McDavid being 'only' ppg for one season and going down drastically from there until he retires in 3 years.
You're clearly a fan of his, and as the thread says, I hate the player. Let's cheer on it.
Imagine McDavid being in his 30s after having an injury plagued career, getting a concussion, missing a year, coming back as his usual self then suffering OTHER injuries that caused his career to be shortened and it would be the same situation. The concussion caused by Stevens had ZERO to do with how his career went afterwards considering he suffered another concussion two years later followed up by a wrist injury that ended his career.
Not necessarily a fan of his, just get tired of seeing the same old argument that he ended careers with cheap shots. You're letting your hate for him override that Lindros career ended because of other injuries that had nothing to do with Stevens. Power forwards for the most part tend to burn out earlier than other players and he's a classic example of that because of the way he played.
