Ban The NHL Hall Of Fame

[Comeds]

It's been a hard decision but I'm announcing my decision to boycott the NHL Hall Of Fame. For years I've put up with. Vincent Damphousse's absence even though there are numerous players inducted that Vinny was better than.

Today I noticed Alexei Kovalev is missing from the hall too. Unacceptable. 430 goals, over 1000 points playing mostly in the clutch and grab era. Multiple cup wins.

He retired in 2014 so he would have been eligible since 2019, correct? Let's look at some of these ham and eggers inducted since then.

Sergei Zubov - clutchet, grabber
Vaclav Nedomansky - mostly international player skating on big ice with little hitting or grabbing.
Kevin Lowe - just show up to work on that team and you'd be in
Daniel Alfredsson - I like him, good player. Better than Kovalev? No way.
The Sedins? Played in a more open era than Kovalev and Kovalev had better numbers. And cups. At best induct them once as a pair!

Unacceptable! Therefore I'm boycotting the NHL Hall Of Fame. (Largely ceremonial because I'm not allowed in Canada anyway, but still)

You threw in Kevin Lowe just to get me to like the post, right?

He was the SD Jones of the Oilers.

Sorry it took a minute to reply. I'm painting some signs for my lawn now.

I feel like the Alfredsson inclusion was for me.

What??? The NHL HoF is in Canada? I never thought about that. Screw Canada! We need to invade Canada and bring the HoF home! We know they have no defense that will stop us...

If the Sedins played for different teams but had the exact same numbers - anyone think they are in the HOF?

You know who deserved a longer run? Irwin R. Schyster

You mean like 33 and 22? Yeah sure, maybe but probably not first ballot.

Ok back on topic the fact Alexander Mogilny is not in the HOF is a joke.

My biggest indictment in the HHOF is I wasn’t sure if Sundin would get in when he retired then he was first ballot and it’s just gone downhill from there.
