Okay one Larry Murphy joke, I hope when he goes up on stage and get's his plaque and does his speech they don't expect her to go back to his seat as he'd probably get lost (Well come on, he's not known for his awesome backchecking). Okay one more, I hope the presenter for Murphy isn't a goaltender who played on his team, it will be little embarrassing as Murphy asks "Who exactly are you? What we played together for how many years!!". I really should be more respectful. I congratulate all inductees... Oh BTW the names of players that didn't make it came from the article. Because even I, who was a Whalers back in the day thought Mike Liut?? when I saw him listed with the others "just missed" category LoL

Yeah, he really was quite useless in Toronto, as I recall.
600 goals should get Dino Ciccarelli in, but aside from that there's not a name on that list that should even be in the Hall of Fame discussion.
I never thought I'd find a group of people worse than Leafs fans, yet there they are: the Calgary Flames bandwagon. It's just an offside...stop cheering you imbeciles!
