Eric was the best all-around hockey player the game ever saw.
No one could skate, shoot, stick handle, body check and fight like he could. He was absolutely dominant during his peak.
If you meet him, tell him Ursus said 'You were the best Eric.'
Eric, near the end of his career, on a line with Tie Domi, and only playing limited minutes, still scored 22 points in 33 games for the leafs. I never saw him play in person. One of my regrets in life. I saw Gretzky play, but never Lindros. On TV I obviously saw Eric's magic, but not live.
I have to go see Mathews play. I have to.
