Eric Lindros, Pat Quinn named to Hockey Hall of Fame

Eric Lindros' Hall of Fame wait is over.

On his sixth try, Lindros was voted into the Hockey Hall on Monday.

Former Flyers coach Pat Quinn was also named to the Hall, along with former players Rogie Vachon and Sergei Makarov.

Ex-Flyer Mark Recchi was again snubbed by the 18-person committee, though you could argue he was a more-deserving candidate than the gifted Lindros. Recchi is the 12th-leading scorer in NHL history.

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Lindros revolutionized the power-forward position because of a rare combination: size and hockey skills not seen in a player who was that big.
