No. Just no.

Possibly not even Hall of Very Good calibre.

Please start providing actual justification for some of your odd candidates, if you'd like this thread to remain open.

Let's start with an actual justification for Kevin Dineen.

Does anyone know why Danielle Goyette was not announced as a 2017 inductee back in June like the rest of the inductees?

Why in god's name was Jeremy Jacobs enshrined into the hall? What contributions ( Besides lockouts) has the man made?

Check Delaware North and their impact on concession prices in a large number of hockey arenas throughout the USA. Money tree nurtured by Jeremy Jacobs that feeds many hockey franchises.

Oh, sorry! They did announce Goyette as an inductee back in June. I forgot.

I'm doing some research now…

NHL Coaches with losing NHL records who are Hockey Hall of Fame inductees in the builders category.

If you were inducted as a player and then became a coach with a losing record, that doesn't count, but I will look for those too.

Craig Patrick inducted as a builder with a losing record as Head Coach. Of course he was inducted not for his Coaching record but his GM roles.

They Coached for the St Louis Blues. If I have a specialty the St Louis Blues are it.

What an embarrassment. Seriously, what did Jacobs do to grow the game?

As a whole, the hockey hall of fame is a joke. The league is already a joke and is a mess.

The Hockey Hall Of Fame website has updated their candidates page - MARTIN BRODEUR is now listed!

Hockey Hall of Fame - Induction Showcase - 2018 Induction Eligibility

But there are errors in the goaltenders section. This started happening last year. Goalies who won Stanley Cups, not Canada Cups, are now listed as having won Canada Cups, not Stanley Cups. I asked the Hockey Hall Of Fame to fix these errors numerous times, and they haven't yet!! Very disappointing. These errors didn't appear until last year! I'm going to email them again, and send them a message on facebook as well. I suggest you all do the same after reading the goaltender candidates section of the HHOF nominess page.
