He's right Bob, every penny given to charity should be appreciated and folks should be impressed by a $100 donation or a $5 milllion donation even if you hate the person who donated it.

Gee I hate to say this, but I think someone is holding a sour grapes grudge simply because Eric snubbed an NHL team from Quebec. :rolleyes
If that is the reason, GET OVER IT PAL. IT'S HISTORY.
Basing a your decision on whether Lindros gets into the HHOF due to your personal reasons is ridiculous. Base it on his stats, etc. Not a personal grudge.
Hey I do not like the Maple Leafs but I sure as hell think Sundin should be in the HHOF after he retires.
By the way, when he made that donation he refused to say the amount. Someone else had to do that. Does that sound like an arrogant showboat speaking?
what was the question again?
Should Eric Lindros be in the Hockey Hall of Fame or should he give to charities?:scratchch
The score was 3-1 not 4-1. Although they lost I was proud of their play. It was a great Northeast battle against the second best team in the league. Not too shabby for a team that expert’s estimated in the bottom half of the standings. They sit 4th in the East.:thumbsup Would be 3rd if Philly did not get positioning because they lead the Atlantic division.
What the hell do you mean 2nd best team in the league??????? Ottawa is clearly the best team. Their A effort beats anyone else's A effort.

I think everyone should take a step back and realize that Lindros is not the first guy in sports history to refuse to play for the team that drafted him. John Elway ring a bell? Nobody questions his character...I agree Lindros is a polarizing figure, but to discount a) his career stats b) his impact on hockey and c) to totally dismiss his donation as a "scam" to make people like him...that's bush league.
He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
