If you lived through the Lindros era, you would get it and would avoid the petty jokes. For those who weren't from the era, he was one of the biggest guys playing, could skate very well, and had great hands/shot. Imagine Pat Maroon + another 20 pounds, but with great speed and fantastic hands. Hw was just that much bigger than everyone else. Defensemen would lose the puck out of fear when they both went into the corners together.
He made Canada's Olympic team at 19 years old. He was a phenom.
Problem was that in the OHL no one wanted to hit him, so he never had his head up. Had he learned to keep his head up, he would have had an Ovechkin type career. I see people mocking him here, but he was an absolute treat to watch in his prime.
