Subban is a lock for the hockey hall of fame.

Dude, I'm the biggest Subban fan in the world but he's got to win at least a cup first IMO.

Cups don't matter. It's not the 80's anymore.

I'm not sure he's a lock though, he'd need at least two more AS to get in first ballot IMO.

PK Subban on the NHL cover.

You know whats funny?

On the trailer right after Gretzky they show Subban.

Legend in the making.

In the making ? Guy is 30...

Subban is a lock for the hockey hall of fame.

So far, he's the only 21st century Habs draft pick for which we can say that.

Price is in. As is every Hart trophy winner.

Norris trophy goes a long way.

Cant think of one who is not in the Hall. Carlyle?

PK may very well be in with Dionne, Sundin, Park, Perreault, Hawerchuck, Statsny, among other Hall of Famers who didnt get there name on the Cup.
Neely and Oates. Cant recall....are they in?

Is that a thing?

These guys won and theyre not in:
Doug Wilson and Carlyle.

I guess yeah, that makes sense.

 

[Mrb1p]

Hes going to put up the sheer numbers +Hart +Vezina +vezina votings, there's no reasons he's not a first balllot.

Neely was inducted in 2005, Oates in 2012.

As for PK pretty crazy to think that he was even up for a Norris this year considering he had to carry boat anchor Alexei Emelin for half the season which likely saw his icetime limited when he played 20 seconds less than Jossi.... his TOI increased in the playoffs where it counts when he got his regular partner Ekholm back playing a full 1:15 more than Jos. PK was also taken off the PP1 in favor of Ellis to ease him back into the game upon his return.

Is a great 2014 regular season enough to make the HOF?

 

[Mrb1p]

Is a great 2014 regular season enough to make the HOF?

Great, as in, potentially the best season ever for a goaltender?

Also 6 top 1 l0 in Vezina voting, gold medal with Canada, Calder cup, probably 350+ wins in the NHL. Theres no way he doesnt make it.

Vandiesbrouk and Barasso are the only 350+ wins to not make it in the Hall and their exclusion is pretty much contested.

No he doesn't.... he already won a Norris, 2-3 nominations? he went to the ecfs 4 times finals once. he's consistanly at the top in the league in a wide range of stats.

More importantly he will be the reason we will see more black players in the sports, which is an achievement on its own.

You're acting like he's retiring this year.

Im not sure how that matters.

 

[le_sean]

Im not sure how that matters.

Because it’s the Hockey Hall of Fame, not the NHL Hall of Fame.

Right, Subban has one too, good thing it counts.

Did Tim Thomas make the HHOF on his first balot? He won a cup and has a more impressive best season: a .938 sv%.

He was first eligible in 2017 and Rogie Vachon got in over him, 2018 will be Brodeur, after that he has a chance.

Theodore wont make HOF

 

[Genesis76]

Theodore wont make HOF

Price is really unworthy of it.

1 great year and 1 really really shitty year.

And everytime hes got a bad time its everyone’s fault but his.

Really one of the worst examples for kids.

 

[Rapala]

Theodore wont make HOF

HOF'rs need to have multiples. Individual Trophies and or great seasons etc.
The Cup helps also.

Thomas is also a weird case as he only played 300 game, Price has almost more wins than he has games played. And he also only has three years of relevancy as an elite starter.

You're cute.

Subban only has one hardware year too..
. And less Norris top ten than Price has Vezinas... lol.

3 top ten in Norris, one win vs 6 top ten, one win plus hart and Lester...

What is better

Come on man, a top-10 Norris finish is much more impressive than a top-10 Vezina finish. That's because there are far more dmen playing, and thus more elite dmen.
