Rogie Vachon elected to the NHL Hall of Fame

About time

[Angel Oracle]

Rogie, one of the mainstays on the team that still holds the franchise record for points in a season (105 in 1974-75)

Congrats Rogie!

after the gretzky trade to the kings, my brother and i had to go down to the forum to straighten out our season tickets. while roaming around down in the offices (near the forum club entrance), i was waiting around this open door to someone's office. no one was watching me so i stepped inside real quick, and sitting on a pedestal is a miniature copy of the stanley cup, a real darn nice copy of it. turned out i was in rogie's office and this was something he received in montreal one year that they won the cup. don't remember anything else that may have been in there, but i got out before being found. it was pretty amazing.

Not too much of a shocker. I'm guessing this means Schenn will now be signed.

Probably would need the NHL app for that.  This is pretty big though for those in the RSN.  No more blackouts.
