Hockey fans got a look into the past Sunday, as the iconic Legion of Doom line that terrorized opponents of the Philadelphia Flyers was together again as part of the Hall of Fame Legends Classic match.
The trio of Eric Lindros, John Leclair, and Mikael Renberg were a force to be reckoned with during the 1990s, combining for 255 points during the 1995-96 season, with Lindros leading the way with an astonishing 115 points in just 73 games.
Lindros' scoring prowess was on display again Sunday, as the dominant center potted the shootout winner past netminder Jean-Sebastien Giguere.
Lindros was a dominant presence during his eight seasons with the Flyers. He was named league MVP in 1994-95 and, two years later, led his club to the Stanley Cup Finals.
A historic career that also included stops with the New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Dallas Stars, Lindros will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame this year alongside Sergei Makarov, Rogie Vachon, and Pat Quinn.
