Is Marian Hossa really a HOFer?

500 plus goals and 3 Cups would seem to say yes.

Hossa's numbers are pretty good though. First ballot is a bit odd, but his goals, points and 3 cups are pretty impressive. And he was one of the integral pieces in the Hawks' cups.

I still don't think Lowe should be there. 6 cups or not, he has no business being in the Hall.

Yeah...Lowe and Wilson are the big surprises on the list.  The voters didn't see fit to put them in for more than 20 years, so what changed?  Unless they're in on the strength of their careers as coaches/execs....

As for Hossa, he's #35 on the all-time goals list, and every eligible player ahead of him (with the exception of Keith Tkachuk) is in the HHOF.  He's also #45 on the all-time +/- list (245 with only one full season on the negative side of the ledger).

I don't distinguish between "first ballot" and otherwise.  If you belong in, then that's that.

I was surprised that Hossa and Iginla were eligible, but then I read that the waiting period is only three years.

The thing about Hossa is that I don't think I ever felt he was one of the greatest players in the game.

Who else was on the ballot.

He was a beast with Chicago, and isn't he one of the all time top US players?

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.

It ain't right that cup rings can make a semi-great player a HOF'r, but a lack of rings makes an A-List great player not a HOF'r.

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.

Right... totally forgot the timing on when CuJo was with Edmonton.  But I disagree on your overall take.  He did make good teams very good/great.  He just never had the chance to play on a team that was already on the verge of greatness.  I don't see much difference between Roy and Brodeur and he (in that regard).  Hasek was on a different level.  He made mediocre teams great.... but even still, he didn't win a cup until he hitched his wagon to Detroit.

Swap CuJo with any of the teams that Brodeur and Roy won a cup with, and they still win the cup.  Vice versa, Roy/Brodeur with any of CuJo's teams don't win the cup.

Having watched CuJo in Edmonton during those Dallas/Colorado playoff years, i have to agree with Jingle. He gave a very mediocre Oilers team a chance to go 7 games against very good Stars and Avs teams. Between him and Doug Weight, they practically carried the team.

Maybe, but it's not like the Blues were short on talent while CuJo was there.  Brett Hull, Adam Oates, Geoff Courtnall, Rod Brind'Amour and Brendan Shanahan were not exactly slouches.

I'd be a lot more confident in saying that a guy like Roy or Brodeur would have elevated those early 90s Blues teams than I would in saying that Roy's or Brodeur's teams wouldn't have lost a beat if they'd had CuJo instead.

So true. Some of those teams were good enough to win it all from the mid 90’s through early 00’s, but those damn Red Wings, Avs and Stars always got in the way.

All right, Draft Lottery is today for all of us rooting for teams not in the playoffs.  Will start in 20 minutes.  Ottawa has a high shot of #1 with around 25% or so, then the Red Wings by lower margin, and then the Kings by a bigger margin.  The kicker is that some teams that are in qualifying positions for playoffs may also end up getting #1.

These rules are really hard to understand, honestly.  All I know is Kings ain't getting #1 and because of the way the draft lottery worked, last year, we may end up getting as low as 7th.  Yep.  Another kicker is that there's a slim chance that the Oilers loses against the Blackhawks in the qualifying round and they still could end up getting #1.  Again.....  Why is that a possibility (albeit very low)?

So let me get this straight, for any team that loses in the qualifying rounds, they have a 12.5% chance of getting #1?  Why is that even a possibility?  I thought this system was supposed to favor teams that really sucks and punishes teams that could be marginally good/decent.  At least the Kings got bumped up two spots and got #2, baby!  Leapfrogging over Senators and Red Wings.  It's a good feeling to have in addition with that 7 game winning streak in the end there.  I'll take it, RNG gods.

2020 NHL Draft lottery odds
TEAM   PTS %   ODDS
1. Wings   .275      18.5
2. Sens   .437      13.5
3. Sens   .437      11.5
4. Kings   .457      9.5
5. Ducks   .472      8.5
6. Devils   .493       7.5
7. Sabres   .493      6.5
8. Team A      n/a   6.0
9. Team B      n/a   5.0
10. Team C    n/a   3.5
11. Team D   n/a   3.0
12. Team E   n/a   2.5
13. Team F   n/a   2.0
14. Team G   n/a   1.5
15. Team H   n/a   1.0

So, the odds were very minimal, but this is consistent with every other lottery draft.  Sucks to be Lafreničre - he won't know who he's playing for until August sometime - if then.

I still have 0% belief that there will be a post season.

Really makes me wonder what their backup plan is if they don't resume the season. What a crazy year that it's possible a team that was playoff destined at the pause could end up with the 1st overall pick for losing a play-in best of 5 series. Also, why on earth didn't they just wait until the play-in round was finished before having any kind of draft lottery? It's not like they can hold the entry draft before the conclusion of the playoffs anyway.

So basically, one would be in the city of a team that has no shot at winning the Cup, and the other would be in Edmonton, right? :P :P

Won't take many more outbreaks before the NHL kills this restart idea. Although, it happened to a US based team, so maybe this isn't a deal breaker. America is practically a cesspool of corona right now. The optics for all the major sports leagues trying to restart this summer is looking pretty bad.

I'd hardly call it an outbreak. 2-5% of the general population tested test positive. Only natural NHL teams are reflective. That this was based off the first test right? Qtine the positives, and move on. They're testing every few days right?
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I can't find a report citing the actual number of Blues infected. Anyone here come across it?
