From Dan David at newyorkrangers.com:
On Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. ET, the Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee will announce the members of the 2009 Hall of Fame induction class, which promises to be one of the best in history.
You don’t have to be a hockey historian or scholar to know that Steve Yzerman and Brett Hull will be chosen. And you don’t have to be a die-hard Rangers fan to fully expect that former Blueshirts star Brian Leetch, whose No. 2 was retired by the team on Jan. 24, 2008, will be right there with them.
After all, if Brian Leetch isn’t a Hall of Famer, then who is? His statistics alone are mind-boggling. He is the seventh-highest scoring defenseman in NHL history with 1,028 career points in 1,205 career games. He holds more than 40 Rangers team records, including the career assists mark, and was named to the NHL All-Star Game 11 times. The list of achievements goes on and on.
