Big congrats to all the [Hall of Fame inductees tonight](https://apnews.com/8ae92af32cc4495ebef5ca98edaca5e9)! > [@](#): > > Martin Brodeur, Willie O’Ree and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman led the latest group of inductees to the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday night. > > Brodeur, the all-time leader in goalie wins and shutouts, was joined in the player’s category by Martin St. Louis, Canadian women’s star Jayna Hefford and Russian great Alexander Yakushev. Bettman and O’Ree — the NHL’s first black player — went into the Hall as builders. Willie O’Ree is a personal favorite hockey personality of mine, so I’m really glad to see him get in. > [@Willie O'Ree](#): > > All I wanted to be was a hockey player,” O’Ree said. “All I needed was the opportunity. ---

2 of those three belong in the Hall of Fame. ---

Arbitrator reduced Tom Wilson’s suspension from 20 games to 14 games. The arbitrator agreed with everything except the 3 times previous suspension calculation, using 2 times instead. In both calculations they counted playoff games as double. ---

I’ve been busy at work and largely unable to listen to or watch any games, which was a good thing last Friday. But today I finished a gig and I’ve been having a great time listening to the 2nd and 3rd period of tonight’s Knights-Oilers game. ---

I find myself cheering against the Oilers now. I’m hoping November finishes with the Oilers getting 6 points out of 28 possible. Then Todd McClellan will definitely go and there’s a possibility the season can be salvaged with a new coach. Waiting till after Christmas to fire him will just waste another season. ---

I loved to see Dave Hodge back! Not to mention all the references to Howie Meeker: gee golly willikers! “Stop it right there!” ---

[Flyers fire Hextall](http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/25384198/struggling-flyers-fire-general-manager-ron-hextall). Wow, that seems like an over reaction to me. Last season there wasn’t one firing during the regular season. This make 5 so far this season and it isn’t even December yet. ---

So tonight one of two things can happen: the Knights can go above the .500 mark and keep the 'Hawks below it OR the 'Hawks could go .500 while the Knights backslide underneath again. It should be a great game! ---

The Knights had a dominating win over Chicago tonight! Fleury is just on fire, the guys are passing well and I noticed that all eyes were on the puck nearly every second of the game. I continue to think that Pacioretty is a good fit for the team. December is, to me, a critical time and I think the Knights are set to have a strong showing all month. > [@Leaffan](#): > > Auston Matthews back tomorrow. I can’t wait! Ah, good for y’all! He’s a spark that y’all definitely need. ---

Hockey arenas aren’t as unique as baseball stadiums, but I’m adding to my collection this weekend by going to the Washington Capitals. I’ve been to Florida Panthers, Columbus Blue Jackets (the very first game), Los Angeles Kings, Dallas Stars, Phoenix Coyotes, and Chicago Blackhawks. ---

Ddamn that’s pretty impressive **dale**. I can match you with AHL and ECHL teams, but for the NHL I’ve only ever seen Boston at home and now my Knights.
