Well there is kind of a coaches wing in the HHOF. It is the builders wing. But obviously it is not exclusive to just coaching so I guess you could say I have a couple coaches who I think should be in there.
Fred Shero - You may not even like the Flyers, and for that I can appreciate. But the man did transform a style of play that proved to be effective.
Mike Keenan - The game has passed him by no doubt but he's had as good - if not a better - of a coaching resume as Pat Quinn. Iron Mike wasn't always popular with everyone but eventually you have to give credit to a guy who won two Canada Cups (one vs. the '87 Russians), one Stanley Cup, and reached the final three other times each time his team playing either a prime Gretzky or Lemieux.
And on another note..............since I brought up the builders wing, when will Cherry get in there? I am not sure what more the guy has to do for the game to be honest. His face has been a symbol for the NHL and Canadian hockey for 30 years and this doesn't include when he was coaching the Bruins. We all know politics plays a part in the HHOF but honestly, Bill Wirtz and Harold Ballard but not Cherry? Wow.
You make it sound like crippling the Hawks and Leafs is a bad thing.
