Eric Lindros

One of the most prolific players in Flyers history is Eric Lindros. From his infamous arrival in 1992 to his rather unceremonious exit in 2000, Lindros’ career was always shadowed with controversy. Here is a look back at the trade saga that brought him to Philadelphia and his career.

It was a weekend full of festivities, starting with a New Year’s Eve Alumni Game for the ages that featured the return to the ice of many legends for both the Flyers and New York Rangers. Then came the main event on Monday, Jan. 2 where the two division rivals with a lot of history took the ice.

In a trying year for the franchise where production seems to be down across the board, Claude Giroux still has the numbers and is still playing at a level that puts him among the NHL’s best and is adding to a resume that ranks him among Flyers legends.

As Eric Lindros prepares to take his place among the Flyers greatest players in franchise history, here are some of his top moments as a Flyer, and a few others that define his career.

Chances are if you see a player wearing No. 88 today, Eric Lindros had something to do with it. And the number defined not only Lindros' career, but an era of Flyers hockey.

Six years after he retired, Eric Lindros Monday got the call that he has been selected to the Hockey Hall of Fame.  Lindros headlines a class that includes Sergei Makarov, Rogie Vachon and the late Pat Quinn, who was a former Flyers Coach...
