should kovalev get in? alfredsson?

theres lots of players who have a similiar resume that would NEVER get in, but becuase he was on a strong team he gets in

had less impact on cup winning teams than butch goring and goring won't get in, goring even got a conn smythe

So call it a fucking sideways glance if you want. Rivals is the only one calling him a lock. I don't see why you're still on this so hard.

wat

i was just asking what makes him so superior to the other 0.8 ppg players? i don't question him in the HHOF even if i think he should be on by todays standards, he's no guarantee

just wondering what sets him aside from players like alfredsson etc

I agree with dej here. Hall of fame should be for the super elite players only.

well difference between Elias and Alfredsson is Elias was less of a leader (only wore the C for one season by choice), but he is much more of a classy player (like Selanne) compared to Alfredsson. Both are (well up until a few weeks ago) career franchise players for their teams and will definitely get their respective numbers retired which is a great honor. I don't think either care too much about getting inducted into the HHoF because neither are from North America.

wat
the
fuck

LOL

if they didnt care about the NA-hockey, they would have stayed in the SEL/SHL and just relax

more money in the NHL. Like I said, HHoF is a much more popular thing in North America - mostly because that's where it's located

elias has been on a defensive team and should hit 1000 points

he'll make hof but after a few tries

It's still the hockey hall of fame, not the nhl or "players from north america" hall of fame..

not my point at all
