Eric Lindros isn't only one of the best players to ever play in Philadelphia. He's one of the best to ever play the game, period, and should be honored as such.

Eric Lindros will enter the Hall of Fame tonight.
No, not the one in Toronto. No, not the one at the Wells Fargo Center. The Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame, and it comes five years to the day he retired from the sport of hockey. It's a deserving honor for No. 88, who joins just seven other individual hockey inductees in the Philly Hall, but it's also another opportunity for us to scream from the top of our lungs again:
Eric Lindros deserves to be in the Hockey Hall of Fame, he deserves to have his number retired by the Philadelphia Flyers, and really, it's a joke that neither has happened already.
