All of that is true regarding Lindros. Not only did the league not protect players back then, but his own team let him down. The Flyers kept playing him when he was clearly concussed. I think it was Lindros who said after he retired, he would play games and then have no recollection of even playing afterwards. How a team could treat any person like that, let alone your franchise player, is beyond me. You can't tell me that the coaches and team doctors never suspected anything was wrong.
