NB...Every Hall has players who shouldn't be in. NBA has about 25 easily, NHL maybe 15 really. To me, if a player isn't a top-10 player in the league for 5 years nor a top-5 player at his position for 10, he shouldn't be considered unless there are extenuating circumstances (Kariya).<br /><br />Also, did you help a team win or are you just a compiler, stat guy who puts up numbers, not someone who helps you win.DSChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05131561121049153046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6763156761530652968.post-11265069399977190452017-10-09T22:14:50.724-04:002017-10-09T22:14:50.724-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.DSChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05131561121049153046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6763156761530652968.post-57834463316803975112014-04-23T05:24:48.164-04:002014-04-23T05:24:48.164-04:00Bill Barber is in because of one reason...he's...Bill Barber is in because of one reason...he's Canadian. The Hall bias against European/American players is sickening. Where's Ketih Tkachuk? 500+ goals, third most PPG ever by a LW. Also, out of the top 25 all time leading scorers at Center, only 3 are not in the HOF. Pierre Turgeon (surprising) and two Americans, Roenick and Modano. Glenn Anderson is in but Alex Mogilny isn't? Lanny McDonald is in.....most likely because he played for Toronto. He really didn't have that stellar of a career. And seriously, leaving out Phil Housley is disgusting. And don't give me crap that he's never won a Cup or major award, and that his defense was suspect, or he finished with a negative +/-. His numbers warrant his admission. GUARANTEE he's in if he was born in Canada. Wake up HOF. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6763156761530652968.post-15044137710830843742014-02-03T20:42:16.183-05:002014-02-03T20:42:16.183-05:00Why is Bill Barber in the HOF?

He played for some of the worst teams of the prewar and Original Six era: He was with New York's other team, the Americans, until they folded and the Rangers got hold of him. <br /><br />Here are two enshrined goalies who, I believe, are far less deserving than Rayner: Gerry Cheevers and Ed Giacomin. Both had the fortune of playing on teams that were among the best of their era. Forget the teams: Giacomin had Brad Park playing defense in front of him, and one of Cheevers' blueliners was none other than Bobby Orr.<br /><br />During Giacomin's and Cheevers' careers, there were far better goalies: Ken Dryden, Tony Esposito, Bernie Parent and the criminally-underrated Rogatien Vachon. Thankfully, Dryden, Esposito and Parent are in the Hall, although Vachon is still sur le exterieur dans la recherche.
