Hockey Hall of Fame news
Big day for former NHL stars Brian Leetch, Brett Hull, Luc Robataille and Steve Yzerman, as well as Devils President and General Manager Lou Lamoriello, all of whom were inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Congrats to one and all.
Yzerman retired in 2006 with the sixth-highest point total in NHL history, and was captain of three Stanley Cup championship teams with the Red Wings. He also won a gold medal with Canada in the 2002 Olympics.
Hull's 741 goals rank third all-time, Robitaille's 668 are the most by a left wing and Leetch is one of just five defensemen to have a 100-point season.
Lamoriello built the Devils into three-time Stanley Cup champions.
Hull, of course, is the son of Hall of Famer Bobby Hull, who was idolized as a child by a kid growing up in White Plains, New York, whose first skates were the Bobby Hull autograph edition. Said kid once got Hull's autograph before a Rangers-Blackhawks playoff game, only to erase it during the game because Hull got into a fight with Rangers enforcer Orland Kurtenbach.
I've had the privilege of covering all of this year's Hall of Famers, in addition to papa Hull. Awesome stuff, fellas. Well deserved honors.

The Bobby Hull version I saw was when he skated for the Winnepeg Jets of the old World Hockey Association. He would roll into town, sans several teeth, to school the San Diego Mariners with that nasty slapshot and the two inch curve in his stick. Wicked. His kid was pretty good but I'm surprised Brett's already being immortalized in the HHoF. Seems too young for that.
I was living in Minnesota when the "North Stars" became the "Stars". The owner claimed it was just a marketing move to make the name and logo simpler. But it turns out he was a snake and had plans to move to Dallas. Since then my interest in the NHL has never been the same.
But I love hockey and appreciate all that these men have done for the game.
