Eric Lindros was as surprised as everyone else in the audience when a French-Canadian television talk show co-host presented him with a No. 88 Quebec Nordiques jersey.
With the cameras rolling, Lindros pulled the former NHL franchise’s blue, red and white colours over his head without reservation and smiled.
“The sidekick wanted to have some fun and pulled out a jersey and said, ’Here’s a parting gift,”’ Lindros said Wednesday, recalling his guest appearance on “Tout Le Monde En Parle” last weekend. “It was a good moment.”
It was also an act Lindros would never have considered 15 years ago, let alone in 1991.
