Nieds, Shanny in the HOF

[Nasty_Magician]

Fire & Ice - Niedermayer, Shanahan head 2013 Hockey Hall of Fame induction class; Burns passed over again

Surprised Shanny didn't get in last year. Maybe they thought there was a chance he could unretire?

(Please let's not turn this into a Lou is an idiot thread)

Hockey doesn't induct by team the way baseball does. You just get elected as a player.

Happy for Neids. Best pure skating defenseman of his era. Congrats to him and the rest of the class.

Personally, I think he was the purest skater I've ever seen. He could fly and he made it look effortless. He could skate backwards faster than half the guys in the league could skate regularly.

Probably yeah. Two way defenseman is the ideal player.

thought they have a area for the player and they put in a jersey as well? or do they put all the jerseys the player wore? or not even anything like that?

 

[TiLoBrown]
