SHELBURNE: Hockey Hall of Fame gets a Lucky strike

The statue in front of Staples Center rightly is of Wayne Gretzky. But that special spot in every Kings' fans heart? That could only belong to Luc Robitaille.

Well deserved, a class act, and all round nice guy

I used to see Luc after every home game in the "Forum Club", and I can tell you that he is a true gentleman, and mentor to many players and fans. This is a well deserved honor for a man that set the tone for many to follow.

Congratulations to Luc Robitaille. 20 years ago his girlfriend gave Luc's autographed photo to my aunt who taught at LMU. My 5 year old son was a BIG Kings fan. To this day, that photo hangs in my son's office. The LA Kings had some real class acts on their team back then. we have since moved but enjoy following them still.

The Gretzky statue needs to be removed, it is cursed. If they refuse to move it, there needs to be a ceremony before every game to negate the bad energy it brings.

I once got to meet Luc after a Kings game at Staples. There was a group of kids and some adults waiting to get autographs. I tried to work my way in to get his autograph and take a picture, but he wanted to make sure all the kids got to spend time with him first. After he was done with the kids he came back to me and took pictures and signed autographs. Nothing but a class act. By the way, Jeremy Roenick just walked right by and didn't sign anything. I've been a Kings fan for 20 years and I am extremly proud he represents us at the Hall of Fame.
