TCG had a post on his blog about this a few months back. Only one NHL goalie (Fuhr) born between 1951 and 1964 has made the Hall, then you have all the big names from 1965, then nobody else from 1966 to 1971 (unless Joseph makes it).

1929 was pretty good as well as it had the births of Terry Sawchuk and Jacques Plante.

10/5/65 was one of the best days in hockey history as Patrick Roy AND Mario Lemieux were both born. This has got to be the biggest combo of 2 stars born on the EXACT same day.
