Yep.. Eric Lindros could absolutely crush you against the boards and it would be a totally legal check... and he could score too. Too bad he was healthy for so few years of his career. He was a game changer out there when he was healthy.
If I had to chose 12 forwards to have on my team of the century, a healthy Lindros would be one of them.
Another one would be Mike Bossy. I've never, in 40 years of watching hockey, seen a pure goal scorer like Bossy. The guy had a phenominal quick release and accurate shot.
