Well the selection committee either finally woke up, or had no better choices when it came to the 2008 Hockey Hall of Fame inductees, and their selection of Glenn Anderson. Anderson had been overlooked for years, but finally got his ticket to the hall today when selected along with Igor Larionov, linesman Ray Scapinello and builder Ed Chynoweth.
Critics had said Anderson was never going to be allowed into the hall due to his off ice antics, but I guess reality finally set in, and 1099 points could not deny the Oilers #9.
Now that he has made his entry to the hall I guess I can tell the story about his days in Edmonton in the 80s. Anderson walks into an unnamed downtown bar, orders three bottles of beer, slugs them all down without even breathing, throws some cash on the bar, and leaves without talking to anyone. Wow to be an Oiler in the 80s…
