Yeah, it’s Bure…. Over a point per game. It’s a shame the guy didn’t last longer, but holy crap was he awesome. Almost four 60 goal seasons. He was sick.

Is that the very first Vancouver Canuck to get in the HHOF???

LOL.

- prock


But if you take, say, Jeremy Roenick's first 12 seasons (capturing all of his prime and eliminating his decline), his PPG blows Bure's out of the water.

I just don't believe the Hall should be for players who burn hot and burn out quickly. There are a number of non-HOF guys for whom you could find 4 very good seasons.

The Hall should be reserved for a lifetime of greatness. That's what separates the HOF calibre guys from the merely very good players.

Sundin should have had to wait. Sundin over shanny is highway robbery.

100 more goals and 3 cups to 0.

Makes no sense.

Isn't Shanny something like sixth all-time in goals?

It truly is ridiculous. Although Sundin should be in.

Is this a facetious jab at a certain Canuck?

It doesn't have to be one or the other, should be both. The puzzling part though is having Sundin go in with Shanahan on the outside looking in.

Will he be inducted as a Nordique or Canuck?
- robin_steele264

He'll go in as Mats Sundin.

The HHOF doesn't work the same way as Cooperstown.

I can't believe I'm now at the age where guys I grew up watching are now in the HHOF....that's supposed to be for old guys like Howe, Orr and the odd young guy like Neely.

I'm sorry, but there's no way 779 points should get you into the Hall.

I know it was only over 12 seasons, but that's got to be a joke. It's still only an average of 65 points per season.

Surely you jest, NHL.

- Leeman4Gilmour


I agree. You should have at least 1000 points as a forward to get in.

Sundin and shanny were the exact same "type" of player. And shanny was clearly better. Shanny was on better teams, but that doesnt matter. If it did half the habs in the hall should be kicked out.

Sundin is completely deserving, although I really think that Shanahan is way more deserving of the nod this year. No real connection to either, but to me the choice was Shanahan.

Shanny has more goals, points, and games played (same for playoffs) and 3 cups to 0.
