Christ, you get selected to the Hockey Hall of Fame after busting your ass during your career, you are a Canadian, and then the story announcing your selection into the shrine is written and edited by a pack of dunces.

From the wire, courtesy of the jackasses at Canadian Press. Probably some French-speaking fool that thinks he knows English well too:

Francis is a two-time Stanley Cup winner. He played 23 NHL seasons and trails only Gretzky on the all-time assists list.

“I know as a kid growing up in Sault Ste. Marie I oftened dreamed about playing in the NHL, envisoned myself carrying the Stanley Cup over my head, but never did I expect that I would accomplish the Hall of Fame,” said Francis.

In addition to the championships, Stevens won with the Devils, he was named playoff MVP in 2000. A fierceless player known as much for his leadership as his bone-crunching body checks, Stevens proves there is room in the Hall for more than just offensive players.

“Absolutely,” said Stevens. “It takes everything to make a hockey team and make a winning hockey team.

“The physical part of the game is very important and good defence, just like offence. You need a good combination of everything.”

Entire story is here.

Can you imagine calling Scott Stevens “fierceless?”

Canadians dissing Canadians on the next Geraldo.
