If someone who has a similar background, or has been intimately involved in the event, wants to disagree, fine, but not a guy with no sports background.

Hrudey is speaking as someone who played years ago, not now. His experience then has nothing to do with the players today. When Jagr is asking people not to vote for him you know it's not a huge deal. An honor? I guess in a way, but it's basically a joke now and the play on the ice reflects that.
