from The Good, The Bad And The Duthie,
Time for the 34th annual (okay, 2nd), highly anticipated (by my Mom), critically acclaimed (Mom again), Hockey of Fame Induction Ceremony Blog....
7:51--Igor Larianov is inducted and calls Canada the Mecca of hockey (or something to that effect...I’m a lousy transcriber). Hope Putin doesn’t get a hold of this speech. He will not be pleased.
8:02--Ray Scapinella, one of the nicest men you’ll ever meet, is inducted in the referee/linesman category. Confession: until I read his name in the paper this week, I always thought there was an “m” in his there. I’ve met the man several times. He’s “Scampy”, not “Scappy”! I, like everybody else, have been calling him Scampinella for 20 years. I never got a chance to ask him where the extra “m” came from. It will keep me up tonight.
