“Before he gets brain damage”? Lock the barn door – the horse is loose.

Yeah I particularly enjoyed that season he spent crying off the ice in philly.

My personal hatred of Lindros aside, he needs to realize exactly what you just said "life is a whole lot bigger than hockey". If Pat Lafontaine can walk away from what could have been one of those historical careers in the making then Lindros can walk away as well. People will respect him much more for being intelligent enough to make this decision than they will for him sticking it out.

He has a choice, think about his health and his family or come back and most certainly end up eating applesauce with Muhammad Ali the rest of his life.

Courageous?!? Well that of course depends on what you value in life. We have to remember that it is just a sport. If your paralyzed or have some other life-altering injury the game of hockey will seem pretty trivial. I think he should walk away while he is still able to WALK.

Besides, I never liked this mf anyway..

What would Brian Boitano do if he were here right now?

He'd make a plan and follow through.

That's what Brian Boitano'd do.

As much as it hurts to say so I think he should like Brett did. Or perhaps he will sign with the Leafs or traded there before he goes. He has always wanted to be there it seems. Best of luck Eric.

Don’t forget Elvis Stojko kicking Lindros’ ass in a bar a few years ago during the Olympics…

YES!!!! Before he gets brain damage… Hockey isn’t worth living the rest of his life as a retard.
