I’d love, and I mean I’d love, for somebody to force each and every voter explain why they think Dino does not deserve to be enshrined. Scoring goals is a hard thing to do and to do it better than only 16 or so players in the history of the game and not be enshrined. I mean come on.

Agreed on Dino, but this is the Professor’s moment!
Man, I think I’m going to pick up some old championship dvds to watch the Russian 5 play. And to see Vladdy skating :-(
