Lucky Luc to the Hockey Hall of Fame
June 23rd, 2009 by puremetal33Former King Left Wing and current Kings President of Business Operations Luc Robitaille has been selected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. The 1987 Calder trophy winner, considered by many to be the greatest Left Wing in NHL history; joins Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull and Brian Leetch in the HHOF’s class of 2009.
Robitaille played in 1,431 career NHL games, scoring 668 goals and 1,394 points, the most prolific totals by any Left Wing in NHL history. Lucky Luc got a Stanley Cup ring with Detroit in 2002.
Luc was and continues to be a huge fan favorite in LA. He’s my favorite King of all time that wasn’t a goalie. And he’s a great human being to boot. Even though he played seasons for the NY Rangers, Pittsburgh and Detroit, Luc was always a King at heart.
Hearty congratulations to Lucky Luc for his Hall of Fame selection today - as if there was any doubt.
(And as an aside - can we get Rogie Vachon in the Hall already? Seriously!)
Draft roundup to come this weekend.
