On that note, here's a sample of the weird things I think of when I'm trying to fall asleep and my sleep meds are starting to kick in (this is loosely to the tune of Jack and Diane):
An Ode to Lindros
Here's a little ditty about Eric Lindros
A good Canadian kid, growing up in the icy land
Eric wants to be an NHL player
The rest of his body, well, we'll get to that later
Got a good draft spot, got a good team
Had a good season, or two, or three
He's gonna be the next one, after Wayne Gretzky
His body had other plans, gonna make him hurt, gonna make him fall
Injury to the knee, to the ankle, to the groin, and he just wants to bawl
Hype dies, nicknames die, contracts die
But Eric lives on
On that note, do any other Stars fans out there still like Lindros? I personally think we ought to try to sign him for about $1 million. He'd be a steal at that price, if he can stay healthy. And if he gets hurt again, we've got other good players we could play in his place. It'd be stupid to base a team around him, but in a supporting role, he'd be great. I view him as similar to Yashin, a leadership role is too much for them, but on a team with other strong leaders, they could really be beneficial to the team.
Anyone else's thoughts?
