Anderson, Larionov headline Hall of Fame

TORONTO: Former Edmonton Oilers great Glenn Anderson and trail-blazing Russian Igor Larionov headlined the 2008 class inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday.

Linesman Ray Scapinello, who never missed an assignment over a 33-year career, was also enshrined during a gala ceremony.

A standout in the great Soviet Union teams of the 1980s, Larionov won two Olympic gold medals and four world championships before being allowed to realize his dream of playing in the NHL.
