It's all in the game, it's all in the game. I've been hit, I've hit, you don't play hockey if you aren't willing to take, and give, legal hits.

No arguing about it being a clean hit when it happened.
It would be heavily scrutinized these days though... shoulder to head and then the chicken wing. Lindros does start to reach for the puck and lowers his head at the last second, but the case would definitely be made that it was targeting. (3 weeks without sports, need something to talk about
)
Enjoyed watching him back in the day... and also Rob Blake and his patented hip checks (still have his Avalanche jersey).
