Popular Post canuck73_3 Posted June 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2022 On a personal level this might be my favourite HoF class, Alfie the Sedins and Luongo were 4 of my favourite players growing up, well deserved for all 4 inductees. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) No complaint about Alfredsson getting in but I think he's on the same level as or even a little inferior to some guys who have been waiting a decade or even two. Fleury, Mogilny, Pierre Turgeon, Bernie Nicholls, etc. I'm not sure why he bypasses them. It's also a little odd to have Luongo in first ballot while having Mike Vernon and Tom Barrasso on the outside for at least 15 years.

I feel like Alfredsson is really underrated because most of his career was with Ottawa. Dude was one of the best RW’s in the game for awhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC20.0 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Well deserved by all. Should we retire Lu’s number now? I know the Canucks waited until Bure got in to raise his banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude was one of the best RW’s in the game for awhile. He was one of the best wingers in the game for a while but the same can be said for a bunch of players who aren't in... Rene Robert, Rick Martin, Charlie Simmer, Dave Taylor, Tim Kerr, Theoren Fleury, Alexander Mogilny, Reggie Leach, Brian Propp, Keith Tkachuk etc. I have plenty of respect for Alfredsson but I'm not sure I would personally pick him over any of those players. Alfredsson was a 2nd team All Star once, 3rd in voting another time, 5th once, and never above 7th in any other season. Most people have never heard of Tim Kerr now. Three straight seasons top 3 in voting. Charlie Simmer: 1st team all star twice. Rick Martin: 1st or 2nd team all star 4 years in a row. Reggie Leach: led the league in goals (61), led the league in playoff goals and set the record, Conn Smythe Trophy. Tkachuk: 2nd team all star twice. Fleury and Mogilny need no introduction. And let's not forget Markus Naslund was a 1st team All Star three years in a row. Alfredsson never achieved this once. Let alone Naslund's Pearson / Lindsay Award as league MVP. And top five in Hart Trophy voting three times. Some of my listed players suffer from injuries or shorter careers with lower career scoring numbers. But not Mogilny, Fleury, Taylor, Propp or Tkachuk. Alfredsson was a great player. I just think he's in a tier with some other guys who not only aren't in but don't even get discussed.

Nucker 67 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Not a fan of Luongo, but sure, he won some stuff with Canada The Twins should get in, though, for sure. Heck, they could create a new category for those wizards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -DLC- Posted June 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2022 This league's kind of sad to me....never did much to support or protect the Sedins as top players (ever) but sure like to claim them as their own. Same happened with Burrows. No time for bitterness, but the thought does cross my mind. As the dirty Marchands of the world get special treatment and immunity, would've been nice if the guys with respect for the game got to share that umbrella as well. I love that they're recognized as some of the best but they weren't always treated as such. I kind of hate sharing them with the NHL at this point, even if it's to celebrate them. Anyhow, my own issue(s)...congratulations to two class acts who played the game with integrity and skill. And Lu as well, nothing but good memories of a superb goaltender. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spook007 Posted June 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Congrats to all 3 of them... so pleased the debate of whether the Sedins could be hall of famers without a cup has now been put to bed. What they did for Canucks, especially with the adversity they had to endure, was nothing short of amazing.... Seguin is still a dumbass...

Win either of those and you are almost 100% guaranteed to get into the Hall. Even a Cup plus a Conn Smythe Trophy doesn't count for as much as a Hart or Art Ross. I think these four guys all going in with no Cups is going to usher in a new era of Cups being a bonus feature, which is how it should be in a 32 team league where a player with a sixteen year career would thus have about a 50% chance of winning one Cup. Anyway, Marcel Dionne getting in with zero playoff success in his entire career kind of set the stage for players not being dragged out of Hall of Fame consideration by weak teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Maybe I am reading into things too deep here, but things feel different around the franchise right now. I'm pretty jaded as a Canucks fan of 30+ years, but I expected BB to move onto a new opportunity. I fully expected Kuzmenko to sign elsewhere. I thought the 3 Canucks would just miss the first ballot. It feels so crazy to come onto CDC and see that things are breaking our way. Congrats to Daniel, Herik and Lou. This is a huge honor for them and the Franchise. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
