"Lindros had his head down along the boards in the neutral zone when he was nailed with a clean hit by Washington Capitals defenseman Jason Doig midway through the second period at Madison Square Garden."

"It is the latest in a long line of concussions for Lindros, who has been sidelined 109 games since the start of the 1996-97 season due to a variety of injuries."

"One of the most hyped players to enter the NHL, Lindros won the Hart Trophy following the lockout-abbreviated 1994-95 campaign."

"The five-time All-Star was a force his first five seasons, totaling 436 points in 297 games."

I hope Lindros will be alright. I've never been a huge Lindros fan, he's never been one of my favorite players, but I hate to see him get another concussion and drag down his career. I hate to see it, cuz it reminds me of Lemieux's injury filled career which really could have been something even more amazing than it has been.

I guess he still hasn't learned to keep his head up.

Lindros was really something years ago, heck, he's only 31 now. I'm sure I have a '93 Upper Deck card that has 99, 66, & 88 on it together. Lindros did have potential to be in the same class with Gretzky and Super Mario.
