Neely to the Hall
Having grown up in the heyday of the Boston Bruins my idol was Bobby Orr, whom I also consider the greatest player of all time too, I am a little bias. Having said that Cam Neely was to me one of the greats of all time. The guy was one of the toughest players I have ever seen and he had great hockey skills to boot, and if it wasn't for a cheap shot by an a-hole, Samuelson, he would have lasted a lot longer. When he went in the corner he always came out with the puck and usually left a crushed opponent behind. He could score, pass, check, and fight with the best of them. He never backed down from anyone. He played the game like it was intended, both ways, and those guy's nowadays are far and few. Congrat's to Cam.
