TORONTO - Will put up a few pictures a bit later when I find a stronger Internet signal. For now, I am in the lobby of the Westin Harbour Castle hotel, down by the waterfront, just before the ceremony to induct Dave Molinari and John Davidson into their branches of the Hall, and the lobby is filled with about 200 or so luminaries.
Among those seen: Gary Bettman, a whole slew of other NHL people, Glen Sather, Larry Murphy (longtime Molinari acquaintance), Mike Emrick (dedicated Pirates fan and longtime correspondent), Christine Simpson, Penguins VP Tom McMillan, and the four honorees for tonight: Brian Leetch, Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille. Lots of geeks in hockey sweaters lingering, too, with more Rangers stuff than anything.
Oh, and Jim Weaver, Mellon Arena's video-replay judge is here, too.
Also seen, inside the room: William Scott Bowman, Al MacInnis, Dick Irvin, and a whole slew of hockey writers, including Michael Farber. (MacInnis and Murphy are seated with us at the Molinari table. A pretty good point duo in case our table is looking for offense from the outside) Harry Sinden is here, too.
