Congrats 2008 HHOF Inductees!

Congratulations to this year's Hockey Hall of Fame inductees!  Igor Larionov and Glenn Anderson were the only two players tapped to head to the Hall for the 2008 Class, and although I don't know much about Anderson, I do know that Larionov was jipped in 2007 when he was passed over.  This is a much, much deserved honor for The Professor!

Igor Larionov - "The Professor"
Called the "Russian Wayne Gretzky", instrumental in bringing Russian players into the NHL, a member of the famed Russian Five, and winner of three Stanley Cups (1997, 1998, 2002) with the Detroit Red Wings.

Glenn Anderson
Your typical 1980's power forward who drove hard to the net, won five Cups with Edmonton and one with the Rangers, and is fifth all-time for playoff game winning goals with 17.
