http://www.tsn.ca/lindros-files-lawsuit-against-former-referee-1.215863Eric Lindros has launched a $250,000 defamation lawsuit against former NHL referee Paul Stewart and the Huffington Post, after Stewart wrote a column for the online news website that allegedly made the former Philadelphia Flyers star forward look like a "dickhead."
Lindros says his reputation has been sullied after Stewart wrote about his poor on-ice relationship with Lindros, which was capped by an incident when Lindros allegedly tore up posters he was asked by Stewart to autograph for a charity.
Originally, the claim sought $3 million in damages, but in an amended claim that has been issued, that amount was changed to $250,000.
fuckin joke
