On Monday afternoon, the 2017 Hockey Hall of Fame class was announced and it featured two players who have been waiting quite some time for the call to the Hall.
Teemu #Selanne headlines the 2017 Hockey Hall of Fame class . More on TSN.ca

Teemu Selanne headlines the class and after a five-year wait, his teammate Paul Kariya joins him.
If you think that wait is long, though, Dave Andreychuk finally got the call in his ninth year of eligibility.
Long overdue for Andreychuk and Kariya. Tremendous. https://t.co/3zyD1FbfZ2

Once the announcement was made, hockey fans took to Twitter to congratulate Selanne, Kariya, Andreychuk and the rest of the 2017 Hockey Hall of Fame class.
These two going into the HHOF together is just too perfect.#Besties pic.twitter.com/fDyGsyThfH

Selanne was a lock but he'll be thrilled to have his old Ducks sidekick Kariya going in with him...

I CAN’T NO STOP YOU’RE CRYING
Paul Kariya probably should have been in already, but having him enter the Hall with Teemu Selanne is perfect.

Remember when we all thought Auston Matthews was unreal for scoring 40 goals as a rookie? Selanne had 76 as a rookie. Incredible.
