Anderson finally makes Hall of Fame
It's about bloody time. Congratulations as well to a member of the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame, the late Ed Chynoweth, for making it into the Hall in the Builder category. As for Anderson, here's a quick recap of some of his accomplishments:
2: 50 goal seasons (1983-84, 1985-86).
3: 100 point seasons (1981-82, 1982-83, 1985-86).
4: All-Star Game appearances (1984, 1985, 1986, 1988).
5: Career playoff overtime goals, second only to Maurice Richard’s 6.
6: Stanley Cup Championships, 5 with the Edmonton Oilers, and 1 with the New York Rangers.
8: Straight seasons scoring over 30 goals (1980-87).
9: 30 goal seasons (1980-87, 1989-90).
17: Playoff game-winning goals, 5th on the NHL’s all-time list.
93: Career playoff goals, in 225 games. 5th on the NHL's all-time list.
214: Career playoff points, in 225 games. 4th on the NHL's all-time list.
498: Career regular season goals. 42nd on the NHL's all-time list.
1,099: Career points, in 1129 games. 55th on the NHL's all-time list.
Priceless: His drunken rendition of "Simply The Best" in the Oilers locker-room following their 1990 Stanley Cup victory.

Right on. One small oversight is that Joe Sakic is now the all-time OT scorer with 8, followed by the Rocket's 6 and Anderson's 5. That's still pretty heady company.
I've got no problem with Anderson making it into the HHOF, but his non-inclusion wasn't exactly the crime of the century. Dino Ciccarelli however, appears to have made a crucial error in not playing on a team with 5 other Hall of Famers.
"appears to have made a crucial error in not playing on a team with 5 other Hall of Famers.
How about not being able to help his team win squat
;-)
I'm not particularly campaigning for Dino, all I'm saying is you swap out Anderson for Ciccarelli on those Oiler Cup teams and its Dino in the HHOF and Anderson's exclusion doesn't raise an eyebrow.

Right. I updated most of those numbers from my original post, but forgot that one. Danke.
Ahhh Simply the Best....I remember his rendition like it was yesterday. Wait, I still have it on tape! I will have to watch it later!

Please post it on YouTube. I've never been able to find it.
Now that the long waking nightmare of expulsion in the Hockey wilderness is over for the league's career #55 point getter, I'm sure all Oiler fans will join me in beginning to campaign for #56
I believe Dino's crime was being in a limo with 5 teammates.
And some skank.
Wasn't that also Scott Stevens's crime? I seem to recall reading that not too long ago.
Maybe Andy can turn this newfound additional fame into some endorsement deals and then he can go on further settling old battles with deadbat dad-dom.

You meant Anderson, I hope? :)
