This is why he’s my HERO

Derian Hatcher told a story to Ludwig about how Gainey was working with Jamie Langenbrunner when Jamie was a rookie.. Bob invited him out for a beer and then sat there reading a newspaper the entire time! 🤣

One of the most magical dudes with the puck I’ve ever seen. He was such a pure joy to watch.

im not sure that i see his nhl career as hof, that being said, his overall impact not just to hockey but to sports as a whole is huge. and for the record i hate scott stevens. still. but nonetheless the legion of doom was must see tv and eric was also while in the orange and black.

One of the bests ever

Looks like Denis Savard and Justin Trudeau.

Who is this actor? Looks like half of Quebec I realize.

The Jusitn Trudeau analogue is awesome

❤Legenda ❤😂🏒🏒

Why does he look like Trudeau?

Nobody comments

Don't know why this clown was even considered. Many more deserving players. Must have been a slow year.

If humility and class were personified, here you are.

Not forgotten

Igor Larionov is a legend. His life-long journey as a hockey player and as a man I found to be absolutely extraordinary. It's an epic. I learned of much of it from the great hockey book "The Russian Five". He was basically the Russian Gretzky of the 80's KLM line. Tremendous vision and hockey IQ. He payed tremendous dues in the old Soviet system from his childhood until they finally released him when he was 30. They taxed his NHL salary for several years, which they couldn't do with the 2nd wave of straight defectors. Finally earned his financial freedom and then was the cornerstone of the remarkable puck-possession "Russian Five" lines in San Jose and then Detroit. Played at a high level well into his 40's. A humble, modest, intelligent, insightful, family man of the utmost integrity. He got the respect of everyone he ever came across.

Here after reading Ray's memoir from 2006. Great read.

I’m not crying you are…

Humble. Gifted. Genuine. Kind. Skilled. Love this man. Was privileged to watch him play. A true privilege. Thank you Mike! Go Stars Go

I love how captivated the audience is with him!

Who is this? I can’t find a name anywhere. Great commercial

I am his brother and best friend.

Pure Class..Stevie Y is a legend..

Probably the most fair and respected referee the NHL has ever had. Andy will always be the best of the best.

Really weird because that actor actually played a possessed priest in the show Supernatural

So what someone got threatened with a bat while all your world leaders are pedophiles that worship moloch

Shame he never won

Wow he never mentioned Quebec and he never mentioned the stanley cup run

some of you are really dump and dont know crap about hockey , this guy have the higher faceoff win % of the league best player to kill penality , best player to shut down franchise player and able to score goal , 3xSelke 3xcup , the type of player you always need in your team for winning the cup

what a fucking speech......very down to Earth guy. And probably nobody will every get 86 goals without an empty netter

1997

From 2001

The 2nd British Hockey Player who is now in the Hall of Fame, rest in Peace Gardiner.

Was a big fan before he arrived in Colorado. Congratulations!

My favorite player of all time.

outstanding player we miss you, rob. go avs forever

bum audience members should stand up.

Ted = true leadership 👏

Valuable hockey 🏒 talk 👄

While this is a place for celebration, I'll flat out say that this is a *very* questionable induction. He won little, including individual accolades. He had one 100 point season, his only hitting even 90 points. A poor version of a compiler. Imagine some people were sour about Andreychuk. At least he had two 50 goal seasons and ended with a whopping 640 in total. He also held the record for most power play goals in history when he was inducted. Seems like a simple ''good guy'' pick for someone why was on the outside looking in. I still remember him purposely hitting Niedermayer with a slap shot to end a period back in the day. Honestly one of the most cowardly things I've ever seen in sports.

Just a class act

God, Stevie rules LGRW 🐙🐙🐙

👍👍

Очень рад за Фила. Реально заслужил.

Those three seasons when Brett scored 228 goals were great seasons.

Brett Hull said this about Chris; won three Norris trophies and three Stanley Cups. Always played great for the US national team. Loved him as a red wing, he was the second best defenseman behind Lidström and no shame in that.

It is the best sport in the world forget soccer/footbal Used to go see it every summer durrin ice hockey camp

lot of resemblence

When he choked up when saying he was proud of his son being a mature and passionate young man. Those are great moments. Brett Hull is as honest as they come. What a character.

2-time Lady Byng winner (League's Most Gentlemanly Player combined with a high-standard of play). A nice trophy you can give a guy that's not winning the Hart or the Art Ross that year but is a highly-skilled player with great numbers, plays the game game clean and is very classy off the ice.

what is on the chin, ive always wondered, is it moulded into the mask or is it something wrapped around it to pad the chin
