As a Flyer, Lindros was in a class by himself

TORONTO - When you combine his talent, grit, and leadership, Bobby Clarke was the best player in Flyers history. Hands down.

Bernie Parent was probably their most important player. Ever. The Flyers don't win two Stanley Cups without him.

But Eric Lindros, who will go into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday in Toronto, was the most distinctive player to ever wear the Orange and Black.

No Flyer before or since has combined such great skills with the imposing physicality that No. 88 displayed.

Quite simply, he revolutionized the game.

He could play like a runaway freight train as he crashed into a player in the corner.
