Two All-Stars meeting at the Capitals blue line, one-on-one.And Lindros won.He didn't win the game. No one did.

PHILADELPHIA -- After five days of contentious debate about his future, Eric Lindros, the only player ever traded by the same team at the same time to two different clubs in the NHL, finally has one team.It's the Philadelphia Flyers.Flyers president Jay Snider and general manager Russ Farwell completed the biggest trade in NHL history when an arbitrator ruled yesterday that they -- and not the New York Rangers -- had acquired the rights to Lindros, 19, who never has played a minute in the league but is expected to become its next superstar.

PHILADELPHIA - Terry Murray is the first to admit he woke up today one day closer to being the ex-coach of the Philadelphia Flyers. That simply goes with the territory.But as long as he is in command here, he intends to make the most of the time."I have no misconception of the job," said Murray, 43, after becoming only the 10th coach in franchise history yesterday, but the fourth in the past four years. "At some point [newly appointed Flyers general manager] Bob Clarke will call me into his office and say the organization is going in a different direction."

There's much more than meets the eye with Upper Deck's 0) Eric Lindros cardUpper Deck has developed a reputation as a quality card producer, one with consistently high standards. Its strength has been its photographs.So it was surprising last weekend when the NHL Players Association said Upper Deck told it that the front of Eric Lindros' card (No. 88) had what amounted to a doctored photograph -- after production was complete and distribution begun.Ted Saskin, director of licensing for the NHLPA, said it was Lindros' head on a teammate's body.
