I feel like Alfredsson would've gone in before Hossa.
525-609-1,134 > 444-713-1157 and 3 Cups >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 0 Cups.
Steve Larmer is not in??
I remember him but not too well, and his best seasons were before I started watching hockey, but just looking at his numbers, he looks like a shoe-in for the Hall of Very Good.
Do you think the dust up with Roenick may keep him out?
He was a beast with Chicago, and isn't he one of the all time top US players?
Roenick is #4 on the list of U.S.-born goal scorers (behind Hull, Modano and Housley). His numbers are pretty similar to Hossa and Alfredsson. Not sure which of the many "dust ups" you're talking about, but I suspect his mouth has played some role in his lack of exclusion.
The lack of cup wins or appearances (I think only 1 in '07 with the Oil) is hurting CuJo. Otherwise, the #7 All-time winningest goalie (he was #5 to start the year ... Flower and King Henrik passed him) should be in the HOF.
I don't know.... He certainly suffered by playing at the same time as Roy, Brodeur and Hasek. Everyone else kinda paled in comparison. Also, CuJo never played in the SCF. The 2007 SCF was Anaheim over Ottawa, and CuJo was in Edmonton in the 90s (I think Edmonton's starter when they lost in 06 to Carolina was Dwayne Roloson). He showed up in Detroit in 2002, after they won the Cup. He had a really good regular season, but the Wings got Giguered in the first round of the 2003 playoffs. The closest he got to the SCF was when he was with the Leafs in 1999 and 2002. Notwithstanding his collection of regular season wins, I always had the impression that he was on the "very good but not great" level.
I still get a chuckle when he flopped between Pitt and Detroit in '08 and '09 when they traded cups - and ended up on the wrong side both years!
As did I.
