Can we get a career video of Mikael Renberg to finnish the “Legion of Doom”trilogy

@Rockhound6165 2 года назад

Not just the Legion of Doom but a look at the Flyers original Lindros line: The Crazy 8's with Lindros, Recchi, and Brent Fedyk IIRC. Recchi had 100 point seasons with the Flyers then.

Fun story, my mom and dad’s first blind date was when LeClair scored 4 goals in a game against Vancouver. This was my moms first game as well, and he only thing she knew about hockey was John LeClair. She took it as a good sign, went on a second date, and in July of 2003 I was born as the first child. Edit: and November of 2003 I was in the nosebleeds of the Wachovia Spectrum for my first game.

That’s pretty cool, leclaire is from my hometown, (St. Albans, VT) and his highschool jersey is retired and hanging in our local rink (he wore #7 growing up). Between Leclaire and our current highschool coach Toby Ducolon, (who also had a cup of coffee in the NHL and was selected one spot ahead of Patrick Roy in the draft) a huge hockey culture was created in this part of Vermont.

@WaltBTB 2 года назад

As a Devils fan, it was incredibly frustrating dealing with LeClair in Philly because he had a knack for getting clutch goals and always had the defense focused on his line which made things tense when he had the puck. As much as I couldn't stand him as a rival, I always respected him as a player. I think he should definitely be in the Hall Of Fame.

John LeClair is without a doubt a Top 10 Flyer ever. He might have gotten overshadowed by Lindros, but he is still an enormous legend in Flyers history.

No other US-born player has ever even come close to that stat. I would put LaFontaine, Modano and Mullen ahead of those other players you mentioned.

@mgpalardy 2 года назад

I was 12 years old when he brought the cup home to Saint Albans, Vermont. It's the only time I've ever seen the Stanley Cup in person. Leclair was a fantastic player, and one of my favorite of all time. Also, he was from the next town over from where I grew up. I might be biased.

@RushAnthem69 2 года назад

Shannon you missed a great opportunity to bring up Detroit’s Grind Line. The Legion of Doom would normally just bully most teams top players into submission. If I remember correctly Philly was actually favored in that series. They thought they would push around Yzerman and Fedorov. But Scotty Bowman being the genius he is set out some of his fastest and toughest skaters against them. The Grind Line never put up a lot of points, but they drew penalties and prevented opposing teams top lines from scoring.

@11DNA11 2 года назад

Reason Philly lost in 97 was Lidstrom and Murphy.

@RushAnthem69 2 года назад

The reason why I became Flyers fan is because of LeClair. I was about 10 yrs old and he lived about 20 mins away from where I grew up in nearby St.Albans VT. This guy along with Lindros, Renberg, Desjardins, Brind'Amour and Hextall brought so much consistent talent to the Flyers organization it was a shame they never won a cup during the late 90's-early 2000's. Thank you Hockey guy and great show on LeClair.

@Rockhound6165 2 года назад

Couple things. #1, LeClair is the last consistent scorer the Flyers ever had. #2, the 1999-2000 playoff loss was worse to me than the 1997 finals collapse. That year the Flyers, without Lindros I might add beating Buffalo in 5, Pittsburgh in 6(including the 5 overtime win in game 4) then had a 3-1 lead on NJ only to forget how to score goals. Game 7 ended up being Lindros' last as a Flyer as he sat out the entire next season then was traded to the Rangers. Had they beaten the Devils that year I think they make short work of the Stars and due to that Lindros might have wanted to stay. But ever since LeClair left the Flyers have lacked a scoring punch. Haven't had a consistent 30 goal scorer since.

@patrickglynn7089 2 года назад

Thank you for this video. Those mid 90s Flyers teams are what made me fall in love with hockey. I can see the argument with him getting in. I say put him in. If Bill Barber is in,then LeClair should be in. Plus it is a crime that Brian Propp is not in. Doesn't he have over 1,000 points?

John LeClair was my favorite player and even I question is HOF credentials. Either way, I became a hockey fan largely because of the Habs' '93 Cup run, including his 2 consecutive OT winners in the Final. Not to mention his screen on Desjardins game tying PP goal with Roy pulled in game 2 to enable Eric's eventual hat trick in OT. When LeClair and Desjardins were traded to the Flyers, I pretty much was too.

The Flyers have never been quite the same since, but they came close in 2010.

LeClair is easily a HOF player. In all sports people pay way too much attention to total stats. What a player does during their prime is what I care about. The guy had 6 straight years of totally dominating the league before back injuries caught up to him. Renberg honestly may have been a better player too but unfortunately his career was cut way short with injuries. Watch some Renberg games from 94-95 lockout season to see him before his major injury.
