Thanks Roddy

I will surely be at that game! Should be great. The crowd will give Roddy one hell of a send off. Good Lavi will be in the house too.

[DirtyMagic97]

I will definitely be going.

No chance in hell do I miss this game.

Luckily that game is part of my mini plan package. Cant wait!

Love that guy...might need to make a road trip for that one. So if he goes to the HOF (which I think he deserves) I wonder if it would be as a Flyer or Hurricane or how does that work in hockey?

They will list the teams he played with since it is a short list.

So they don't get inducted as a member of a specific team like football?

I don't think so.

I will certainly be at the game ready for some action. I was real happy that the Carolina Hurricanes announced that the team will honor former captain Rod Brind’Amour by retiring his No. 17 sweater prior to the Hurricanes’ game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday, Feb. 18, 2011.

they do that in football? i thought baseball was the only one with someone gets inducted as an actual member of a team (because they are wearing hats)

I dunno, you might be right. Don't get all technical on me boy!

Yes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it was in 2006 that they raised #10. I was at that game, and I've never heard an ovation that loud and drawn out for an individual.
