New Acquisitions Thread

[irv]

Some recent pick ups including the Oshawa Generals card of Eric Lindros.

I never missed a home game when he played but wasn't collecting cards back then so I never bothered with these.

I seen a recent, pre covid, interview with Eric Lindros and Tara Sloan talking about the reason why he didn't sign with Quebec.
I knew there was something, and maybe this had already been disclosed, but he said he wouldn't have put on the sweater nor signed with Toronto if Marcel Abut owned/ran the Leafs.
Without saying it, Eric knew things about Abut back then and despised the man. He also talked about how he was smeared in the media because Abut had the money and the means and was able to do that with ease.
I'm bias being from Oshawa but I always felt he got a bum rap. He was an awesome player but most will remember him based on how the media portrayed him. (Vid of interview below, and I was glad to see Eric, after the fans found out the story, welcomed him back)
