Re: Around The League: 2013 - 2014 Season
It's still baffling to me how it took this long to get Pat Burns in.
Mitch Melnick Three members of the Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee (Pat Quinn, Jim Gregory & Serge Savard) replaced this yr & Pat Burns gets in... no way of knowing with all the secrecy involved but can't help but speculate.
It's a travesty that he didn't get in while he was still alive.
And then you had dopes like Michael Farber, who is on the HHOF commitee, defending the Burns omission last year with excuses like (I'm paraphrasing) "Well, there wasn't much clamoring to get Burns in before he dying." and I'm just floored. Absolutely ****ing floored.
In any case, he's in.
Next year, could Makarov and Roggie Vachon please get in with Lidstrom and Fedorov? Pretty please?
