Hard to believe Harry, but the last time the Flyers had their own Hall of Fame induction was 2009 when The Hammer went in.
Dave Schultz. Before that? Ron Hextall in 2008.
This season, the Flyers have a bonanza going with today's announcement of John LeClair, Eric Lindros and Eric Desjardins.
LeClair and Lindros will go in on NOv. 20 when the Flyers host Minnesota. Desjardins will be inducted on Feb. 19 against Buffalo.
People have been waiting for this for a long time. Then again, a lot of people have been waiting for Rod Brind'Amour, a very deserving candidate. and he's not there nor are Rick Tocchet, Mark Recchi, even Mike Keenan.
The Flyers have some catching up to do but I feel the 2012 Winter Classic broke the ice, so to speak. When the fans and the Flyers re-embraced Lindros, I think it began the discussion of looking at the 1990s and realizing it was time to get some Flyers recognition in the club's Hall.
If you had to pick now who goes in next, who would be your pick? There are 20 members in the Flyers' Hall now.
