I pointed out that you picked a stupid example, because that wasn't even far and away the best personal season of anyone in 1995-96. And you can argue 'til you're blue in the face about "dominance", but to even suggest that Lindros's '95-'96 season is among the all-time greats is patently ridiculous.
Likewise I can't stress this enough: in my opinion, your opinion of the matter is dumb. And the insinuation that anyone who disagrees with you is "just going by HockeyDB" is dumb.
I'm old enough to have watched both Lindros and Forsberg play their entire careers, and your opinion that Lindros was "on another level" is silly.

Well a few others have agreed with me so maybe just accept that people can have a different opinion and move on
Lindros at 100% > Forsberg at 100% IMO its not like I am saying Forsberg was bad for christ sake
Their numbers are almost even and one guy is way bigger and stronger so this idea that it's an asinine opinion is odd to say the least
Iginla had a career high of 99 points but was one of the most dominant power forwards in hockey history in his prime
