GDT: 2020 HHOF Inductions June 24 - Alfredsson's 4th attempt. Start post #206

[DJB]

Of course. Such disrespect

 

[Gil Gunderson]

i doubt Zetterberg gets in first ballot, he’s in the same vein as a guy like Elias IMO.

He played for an original six team though. That makes a difference.

 

[discostu]

I disagree with him going instead of Alfie,but, Hossa was always a beast. First Sens draft pick to make it. That's an organization milestone.

Not bad for a " garbage pick".

 

[DJB]

I love Hossa but..

Take out their team accomplishments.

Who would you rather build your team around?

Hossa or Alfie?

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

HoF continues to be a joke.

 

[LeProspector]

Well you already know how the Sens week is going go now. Just give Ottawa 5/6 and continue to bend the fans over.

Kevin Lowe is another guy that gets a bunch of help by being on good teams.

don't think he was ever in competition with Alfie for this. His cups put him over the top, no question.

 

[Fandlauer]

The team has no desire to see him get in. He won't get in until that changes.

Wasnt that the Karlsson quote?

I thought some ding dong in the media tweeted they wanted M Zultek over Hossa

why does that matter? Iginla just got voted in with no support from the Flames.

Alfredsson would be in by now if he was a Leaf.

Chris Stevenson wrote that about Zultek.

Iginla is pretty obvious.

But Alfie would be in right now if he played for an O6 team.

 

[Senscore]

This is f***ing disgusting

 

[edguy]

Well lets revisit this in 2 more years i guess. With the Sedins and Jagr both eligible next year we don't stand a chance at having Alfie getting in.

Don’t believe Jagr is eligible yet since he just played in the Czech league this year. i could be wrong.

Add Zetterberg, who is somewhat comparable to Hossa and has the O6 rub.

2022 at the earliest is most likely for Alfie.

Did Hossa have to be first ballot though? He is a HOFer, for sure. Not sure what the rush was though. For the record I have no issue at all with the inductees. Wilson was top notch for a decade plus, and Lowe was critical to those Stanley Cup wins. Hossa was my favourite Senator before the trade. Iginla was an easy choice. I don’t remember much of St. Pierre

 

[Stylizer1]

Sedins (will be first ballot) and Zetterberg will be eligible next year, so if Alfie doesn't get in today I think we'll be waiting a while.

Or they put 4 swedes in at once.

 

[NyQuil]

I wish I could say we were surprised.

Zetterberg pretty much excludes Alfredsson. He's like Alfredsson only with more hardware.

Just like Hossa excluded him this year.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

The old boys club would never.

 

[DaveMatthew]

I don't understand how the Sedins are "locks", yet Alfredsson isn't in yet?

Alfredsson had better peak seasons, has better overall numbers, and had more team success. Is being twins that important?

 

[Stylizer1]

Don’t believe Jagr is eligible yet since he just played in the Czech league this year. i could be wrong.

Hossa is still an active player.

That's probably true, but Hossa got in first ballot this year and Zetterberg's first chance is next year.
