2015 Hockey Hall of Fame inductees

[dash]

Nicklas Lidstrom, Sergei Fedorov, Chris Pronger, Phil Housley and Angela Ruggiero will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as the Class of 2015. Bill Hay and Peter Karmanos were also inducted as builders.

Maybe next year for Lindros?

Congrats to all!

Lidstrom and Pronger: my favorite defenseman and least favorite defenseman make the Hall together. That's tough to digest.

Nice to see Maple Leaf legend Phil Housley entering the Hall!

Oh great, one more Leafs pre-game ceremony to sit through.

I thought Dr. Recchi had an outside shot of making it.

Still not as bad as actually watching them play hockey.

Speaking of Leafs pre-game, I heard somewhere that Babcock will be "earning" his $50M in a cash grab booth at center ice before each home game.

It's true, as much fun as we poke at Dr. Recchi, he does have Hall of Fame numbers to go with his name on Lord Stanley's holy grail multiple times.

BUT PRONGER IS NOT FUCKING RETIRED YET!

The league should make the Flyers suffer the total cap hit they avoided with this shit THIS YEAR.

Maybe he does not want to go to Toronto. Make it Philadelphia and he will go.

I am happy that Housley did get in (and kind of surprised after all this time), but he did put up some fine numbers on some fairly craptacular teams.

Pronger going out by bending the rules. I wouldn't want it any other way

Likely bent at a 45 degree angle...

"We disagree completely with [NHL disciplinarian] Colin
Campbell's decision here. But we respect the process," Ducks
general manager Brian Burke said. "If you watch some of the other
views, it looks like a dangerous, high hit. If you look at the end
zone view, I think it shows best that Chris Pronger went to hit
Tomas Holmstrom at a 45-degree angle from the boards.

Pronger suspended for hit on Wings' Holmstrom

However, I'll always have a soft spot for Pronger as his affair with a Edmonton tv weather girl was the catalyst for his leaving Edmonton and starting a 9 year tire fire in Oil Country.

Those are just Pronger Physics. I am sure they'll be mentioned on his HHOF plaque

yea it's a shame that lidstrom has to be associated with that pile of shit pronger ,whom is only being inducted after getting the rules bent into his favor

How I hated Pronger, but I guess that's a Hall of Fame endorsement.
