sweet mems dudes

i should be a gm

soooooo... bure and sundin into the HHoF, huh...?

no

yay pavel!

and sakic and oates but, like... bure and sundin, huh...?

willing to listen to your case for rogie vachon tho

counting stats on bad teams

sakic, fucking shanahan and oates

vs, like, p avg counting stats for bure and sundin

Shanny not in

shanny is 25th all-time in points and 13th in goals

i don't like him, but that's pretty solid

oates sixth all-time in assists plus i was in a bar with him once

he looked about as unreal as you'd expect

OK I am not being clear. I don't like Sundin's or Bure's career numbers or trajectories. Sakic & Oates & Shanny I have np with

agreed

pavel was a beast, but no hofer

Vachon: 16th all time wins, almost half of which were with the purple LA teams, tied for 22nd all time SO, NHL history is not helpful w/ SV%.

Stanley Cup Championships in 1968, 1969, 1971 (with Montreal) (split time w/ Worsley, full disclosure).
Canada Cup Winner in 1976.
Vezina Trophy Winner in 1968.
Named Team MVP during the 1976 Canada Cup.
Played in 1973, 1975, 1978 NHL All-Star Game.
Named to the NHL Second All-Star Team in 1975, 1977.

well god bless but i don't think he'd be in the conversation were his name not rogie

i suppose

i apologize for using the phrase 'in the conversation' btw

that is some straight bs

i mean I could also see the HHOF not inducting another goalie until Brodeur /tinfoilhat /offenseoffenseoffense /weneedmorescoring

How in the world did Sundin get in? My mom has an irrational love for Sundin, maybe she's a secret voter.

will marty go in right away or will they wait?

obvs gretzky goes in whenever, lemieux had various health issues -- not sure if anyone else was waived. certainly marty (and maybe lidstrom) are at least candidates.

sundin's not in! xp

notable relevant parties:

CuJo (no cups; had the misfortune of being surrounded by Roy, Brodeur, Belfour, Hasek, Richter; seemed like a cult figure to anyone outside of St.L; was then buried in Toronto),

BELFOUR (asshole; 1,000,000 dollars, 1 SC ring),

HASEK (changed the thought process of the position; a Quick/Lundqvist 1.0; had 3 MONSTER years that I can remember and a bunch of other where he was merely spectacular, SC ring, in the path of history, it seemed),

Vernon (career sv% .890),

RICHTER (USA USA),

Brasshole (career % line 3.24, .892)

cosigning on bure and sundin making no sense

i can totally see hasek, ~maybe~ belfour

how is mats (21st in goals, 27th in points) in ahead of shanny? fuckin' leafs. at least pavel was a phenomenon, but then so was lindros.

hasek seems pretty can't miss.

the hall(over)values the C as in CAPTAIN & CANADA.

THE DOMINATOR 4 LYFE
SLINKY SPINE

can't vote him in yet, tho -- i heard he wants to come back to the nhl

Ilya Bryzgalov prevented you from signing a 45 year old dominik hasek

oates sixth all-time in assists plus i was in a bar with him once

Did he hit on you? There are some rumors floating around out there....

OH NO

i can totally see hasek, ~maybe~ belfour

This is legitimately making me mad, it makes no sense.

I have Adam Oates's autograph somewhere, this was back when I collected hockey cards when I was a kid and wanted to get them all signed.

the rumors I'm seeing about either Luongo or Brodeur coming to Chicago are generating the most hilariously hateful comments from Hawkfans I know
