lindros never put on the jersey, just put it under his arm.
he did, however, pose for the obligatory picture.
but that's neither here nor there. whether lindros or mario were classier kind of misses the real point of that quote, whether you agree or disagree with that article.
just a sidenote: you could take the word "russians" out of that post and replace it with "pat quinn" and it still works the same.
but back on topic, lindros's behaviour through his entire career up to the (second) rangers trade was a whole lot of me first. we can argue until the cows come home about whether he had a right to act like he did or not, but i look back at it and then look at the current sports landscape, where someone like kevin durant is spoken about like he's the dalai lama for not acting like a giant baby and demanding to be moved from his small market team, and i shake my head. but i guess it's a different world now.
