I don't understand the Swedish line though.
His paternal grandfather was a Swedish immigrant and Lindros means "rose of the Linden tree" in Swedish.
Though I'm sure the odor of the "Hot, sweaty Lindros" would surpass that of any rose or Linden blossum.
And the crack about French has to do with him allegedly refusing to be transferred to a Quebec team partly because he didn't want to be forced to speak French all the time.
What I love about the guy is that he defies the slave-labor mentality of the sports industry. Money isn't everything to him, though even hockey players must earn a bundle compared to your average construction worker.
And he apparently earned more than most.
