He was not a hall of fame caliber player. Flame awayMe too. It's deserved.

I'm fine with Carbonneau-type inductees, great shutdown player.Opens the door for Patrice Bergeron.
Though I do believe that Him over Alfredsson is outrageous, Bob Gainey is in the Hall of Fame, so it isnt too outrageous to get in entirelyUnbelievable.
Alfredsson is one of the great two-way wingers of our time, having to ply much of his career during the dead puck era.
What a sucker punch.
Meanwhile, Guy's career bests over 19 seasons are 26 goals and 57 points IN THE EIGHTIES.
Unbelievable.
I don't care how good you are at shutting guys down, those are not HoF stats.
Why would it open the door? Guys like Bergeron and Kopitar are so much better than Carbonneau its not even funny.
Martinec and Holecek should already be in. Just because Canada didn't have some famous super series against them doesn't mean they aren't equally as deserving as someone like Yakushev.Nedomansky and wickenheiser were the only ones i cared about.
Ned becomes the first player from the golden age CSSR teams to make it. Hope more will follow but i doubt it
Is it? I've never heard his name being mentioned much on the "long overdue" list of HHOF candidates.But it's long overdue for carbonneau.

Serious candidates.Here are the players who were suggested in this thread (... seriously ...
Alfredsson
Elias
Firsov
Fleury
Holocek
Kasatonov
Krutov
Maltsev
Martinec
Mikhailov
Suchý
Serious candidates.
If you put Carbonneau in, you probably have to put guys like Rod Brind'Amour or Chris Osgood in.
A bunch of guys that have been passed over for years like Roenick and Turgeon probably just got really excited by this induction.
i don't think so. carbonneau getting in has nothing to do with passed over 1,000 point guys getting in. it shows that the door is still open for sub-1,000 point guys who were elite complementary or role players on fistfuls of cup winners like tikkanen and claude lemieux. i totally applaud this.
Give me an argument for Zubov over Doug wilson
Done.If people complain about Carbs, then we should throw out Gainey from the Hall too
