Hossa, Iginla Inducted to Hall of Fame

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

I really don't have a problem with Hossa eventually getting in but surprised it was on the first ballot.
I guess he was just itchin' to get in...

Yup. I think he deserved it eventually. Guy was a hell of a player.

And we have two sure fire on the team now (Sid, Geno), one probable (Marleau), one possible (Letang), and at least one long time alumni (Fleury) destined for it. How incredibly blessed are we as fans.

Hossa deserved the hall, but maybe not as a first ballot dude... he was an exceptional two way winger and his offense was top notch... People forget he turned down a nearly ten million per year deal with Edmonton to sign That deal with Detroit... and ten million then was Really high... he was thought of as a superstar winger for certain

STFU HAHAHAH

STFU HAHAHAH

Far from ironclad, but I think there's a case for Letang. Even with the injuries he's certain to sustain over the next few years, he'll still likely end up in the top 30 all-time for points from a defenseman, plus his three* cup rings.

Hall of Fame Left Winger, Jarome Iginla

This will never not anger me.

 

[Gurglesons]

STFU HAHAHAH

I mean, given the criteria that’s been established I see no reason Zubov gets in and Letang doesn’t.

Precisely. If Kevin f***ing Lowe gets in Kris Letang is a lock. Especially if he gets his name on the Cup for a fourth time.
