Jim They didn’t have a proven number one goalie. Fiset was the starter over Thibault until Roy demanded out of Montreal after Tremblay left him in for 11 goals on national tv versus Detroit. Then pulled him which was embarrassing. The point is Roy never gets traded if they’re still in Quebec. He would’ve wound up elsewhere. The relocation to Colorado opened the door. That helped them win two Cups and become a threat for the next eight years until his retirement in ‘03.

[@arnaudfontaine7882]

what he says about quebec is perfectly applicable for english provinces...

[@empire0]

Don was absolutely right though, no one wants to play in a city that's so anti-English. They will never land another NHL team despite having the market for it

[@HardRockMiner]

Lindros was The NHL's version of Brian Bosworth. Act like a big shot before doing anything in the big leagues and you're done before you even start.

[@devilsadvocacy]

Quebec arguably got the best player in the deal (Peter Forsberg), and six other players. It isn't any wonder that they, not the Flyers, won Stanley Cups in the aftermath (after they moved to Denver). Lindros did the Quebec/Colorado franchise a huge favor by refusing to play for it

[@HardRockMiner]

@@devilsadvocacy - I dont think thats arguable at all. Quebec totally got the better players. Lindros never did shit. Just Forsberg would have been enough, but Joe Sakic was also part of that, if im not mistaken. He was a franchise player.

[@devilsadvocacy]

@@HardRockMiner The Nordiques didn’t get Sakic in that deal. But they did get Mike Ricci, two first round picks, $15 million, and a few other assorted pieces that included Hextall and Steve Duchesne along with Forsberg. When you consider the other assets the Nordiques received in addition to Forsberg, concur that it was a very one-sided deal. To top it off, Flyers GM Bobby Clarke had some choice blasts for Lindros when Clarke traded him to the Rangers. Lindros was one of the biggest talents, and the biggest waste of talent, ever to play in the NHL

[@HardRockMiner]

@@devilsadvocacy - Agreed. Acting like he's all that before even lacing up his skates for an NHL game was a mistake for him. I like to think we get what we deserve, sometimes.

[@bluebear1985]

When Quebec finally did trade Lindros at the '92 draft, he was accidently traded to both the Flyers and Rangers. The Rangers offered, along with cash and draft picks, Alexei Kovalev, Doug Weight, Tony Amonte, and John Vanbiesbrouck. The trade that the arbitrator decided on was the Flyers', which had Kerry Huffman, Steve Duchesne, Ron Hextall, Peter Forsberg, Mike Ricci, Chris Simon, cash, and draft picks. Either way, it seems lopsided to me.

And now he's fired...

[@jakeseeley1553]

He called the injuries too. Donstradomus this segment

[@brandonwong4607]

Just imagine lindros and sakic on the same team.

[@fredolino1958]

They played toghether in 2002 and on the same line with team Canada.

[@Boomdawg96]

If anyone hates on Lindros then they don't know real hockey. It's like hating on Ray Lewis and saying you're a huge football fan. Lindros was a freak of nature and was one of the first big men to have small man skill. Deserves the HOF. But these graphics...

[@avsrule247]

Wow Cherry know what he is talking about "trade him for the Swedes" They ended up getting Forsberg and winning 2 Cups with him.

[@ELizabeth_Beeza]

BRING BACK DON CHERRY !!

what ever happened to people choosing where they can live and work?

I'd take Forsberg over Lindros any day

[@tjcurrie]

Cherry's right again. Go love him. As for Lindros, what a hockey player. Like him or hate him it's too bad he couldn't stay healthy. Was one of the best when he was goin'.

I miss Don cherry with this music back in the day SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!

[@Dylansudek]

As Xenophobic as he is Don Cherry is, he was completely right about that. Traded the kid, got a "Swede" who ended up being a better player along with the major pieces they used to acquire Roy, Lemieux, Ricci, Tanguay, Blake +. Ended up winning 2 cups because of that very trade. Too bad they left Quebec.

[@dougtaylor2803]

+Dylan Sudek DON IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT AND THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD HOLD THE DOOR OPEN FOR FROG TOWN TO GET THE FUCK OUT!

[@FTJFuelTheJet]

@MrBrostradamus the bottom line is they where pretty comparable players in the late 90's but Forsberg was still considered the best player in the NHL beyond the 2000's while Lindros was below a point a game

[@glenglen8454]

2:44 you'd never hear him say that to McLean these days lol he would just keep talking without wasting his time McLean's learned by now just shut up thumbs up

*Forsberg. Plus, they could've kept Sundin as well, imagine that team!
