We may not have had an NHL season but today all is right in the hockey world? Why, you ask? Because today, finally, on June 8, #8 Cam Neely is a Hall of Famer. the only drawback is that John Buccigross (who interviews Neely here) no longer has anything to write about and will probably be forced into columnist retirement.
What can be said about #8? Well as legend has it in his first game as a Bruin he fought in the first period, got busted open, got stitched up, came out, fought in the second and reopened the wound, got stitched up again, then came back and scored the game winner in the third. I have no evidence to back this up, but that's the legend. How tough was he? The only thing that could force him to retire was the fact that his quad muscle turned to bone. Beat that.
Congratulations Cam. It's about time.
