Ted Lindsay has harsh words for NHLPA

Since the first couple of posts aren't about NHLPA right now and no-one has mentioned this in previous comments, I figured this warrants a fanpost just for visibility for whoever's interested.

Seeing that it isn't on the TSN front page, someone may have missed this article.

Notably, Ted Lindsay called this "the biggest scam job, execution, that I've ever seen in my life", among other nice quotes of the same sort and comparing the ousters to Alan Eagleson. These are pretty big words from someone who has an immense role in the history of the Union and, notably, was there for the meetings and listened to the discussions.

If this whole thing smelled fishy before, this sure as hell doesn't help.

Thanks for pointing this out. I was thinking maybe Lindsay’s view — despite his history — wasn’t too relevant for today. That was before I realized he was there to see some of the proceedings. Very interesting.

I hadn’t realized that Ted was still with us…I’m happy to hear that he is and is as feisty as ever…I will never forget him doing the color with TIm Ryan on the “Game of the Week” on NBC in the 70’s…even way back then, I could sense his disdain for the modern player and their dedication to the game.
