It's the selections that are bothering me. There are a number of players from the old days who are better players than the Glen Andersons. But, the HHOF thinks that everyone has forgotten about them, and are not inducting these players. It's very political.

In 2007, Cal Ripken Jr and Tony Gwynn were both inducted on Sunday, July 29. Every team in MLB played that day. The only other sport that inducts HOF members in-season is baseball.

Matheson has been pushing this idea for years, not just because Anderson got in. Matheson, a Hall of Fame member himself, wants the sports coverage to be dominated by the story of these Hall of Fames, with no league games to clutter things up. It's a good idea. It's what other leagues have done, I believe. So get your facts straight before you take a run at a real hockey writer. You’re entirely missing the point.

He's complaining that games are scheduled on the hall of fame induction nights. The night off isn't being requested just for Glenn Anderson, it's being requested for every inductee. Ideally, hockey fans would be watching the heroes and stars of the past get recognized instead of just another regular season game. You totally misunderstood the article.
