Superb player on his day, but he's been finished for three seasons now. Could have called it quits last May, obviously didn't because he was hoping for another mid-season comeback during the season. His decision was made for him. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you Marleau's family or something? Get a grip ffs I never said he was bad player, didn't have a great career, etc. I simply said his decision was made for him. So embarrassing.

He played a long time... just not sure if that's enough. 566 goals 631 assists 1197 points 1779 games!! I'd say he gets in. Longevity is also a factor in greatness, IMO. It helps that Marleau was a solid point-per-game guy in his prime too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you’re just going to ignore the first solid decade and a half of his career over a trade when he was 39? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never really a fan of the guy, and he should have retired at 39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who will be the last man standing? Some form of "last man off the ice"? regards, G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in no hurry to get him in there, but I'd have him on the right side of the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May take a while to get in but I say "yes" That and Turgeon and Nicholls should both already be in. I'm not terribly opposed to Roenick either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man does time ever go by fast. I saw them play each other in PG back in the mid-90s. The Cougars ended up beating the T-Birds 5-2 and as the game entered the last 5 minutes, the scraps started. Everyone at the CN Center started chanting "Chara! Chara!", but none of the T-Birds would make eye contact... Marleau ended up in a fight with Ronald Petrovicky, who was the Cougars' Captain at the time. I was actually pretty shocked that RP scored a unanimous decision, even though he gave up several inches (and pounds) to PM.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
