You can criticize Lindros for a lot of things, but in my opinion that isn't one of them. He flat-out did not want to play in Quebec, and he made that very clear long before they drafted him.

There were plenty of perfectly legitimate reasons why a hockey star from Ontario wouldn't want to play in Quebec. A language barrier that bordered on hostility was one reason. Confiscatory taxes that are the highest in North America would be another.

Interesting tidbits. Thank you. You have to admit, it was a pathetic display not to put the jersey on and smile. Thousands of players strive to get drafted and this enlarged head is going to dictate who he is going to play for?
