The Sedins Were Stars at Best Who had Each Other. Not HHOF Worthy.

I await your reasoning.

You don't have to capitalize every word in a title; usually that includes words that don't add much meaning and are just there so that the sentence makes sense. Words like for, and, to, at, don't hold anything unique wrt their usage and so you wouldn't have to capitalize them. It's the best I can explain it

your comparing a defensmen to forwards

My point was that his career achievements is not a Hall calibre resume, not to compare them to forwards.

It's at this point, I want to quote myself to summarize this thread. It's unusual, but I think it fits the theme absolutely perfectly. Otherwise I would never quote myself. You don't need to watch longer than 1:02 in the video to get the point.

I agree that they wouldn't be nearly as good had they not had the luxury of playing their entire careers on the same line, but the reality is they did have the luxury, and they did accomplish a lot together, so you can't really take that away from them. They definitely deserve to be in the HHOF because of this. The only time when I think that it detracts from their legacy is if you compare either one individually to another player of similar caliber. For instance, I don't think either one is better than Sundin, Alfredsson, or Naslund.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Show me someone who has led the NHL in points that hasn't made the HHOF after 10 or so years. That alone gets you into the Hall. Next question.

Jamie Benn won't.

 

[Daximus]

Jamie Benn won't.

Benn could potentially be the first to not make it in but generally even if you only win 1 major award you make it in eventually.

I watched a lot of Sedin hockey. IMO, good for most of their career, great for a couple with good supporting casts. Definitely not HHOF Worthy.

Showing up and protesting worthy.

Good supporting casts?! Who did they play with that would be a good standalone player on their own? They literally made their wingers' careers haha.

Of course, which is why I didn't say "at" should be. I specifically left it out. "Had" adds meaning. Usually the words not capitalized are articles or prepositions. "Had" is neither.

 

[Bizzare]

I've answered many posts in here, can't answer them all.

You've also ignored the same questions over and over while answering similar ones with the same response. Not surprising really.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Lmao, what a f***ing tire fire of a thread.

They’re getting into the HoF.

 

[Sam of Montreal]

Thread seems unnecessary, but I agree with the OP.

They were good. I don't think they were that good.

 

[IceNeophyte]

We should go ahead and rename it The Hockey Hall of Stats.

 

[karhukissa]

What a great way to trigger Swedes

 

[Hammettf2b]

At the end of the day, it comes down to whether they are the best players eligible in a given year. Considering they were 2 of the top 5 forwards in the game for probably a 3-4 year stretch, that should get them in at some point, if not first year of eligibility.

I don't think this should be the criteria. I think someone should only get in if they were good enough, not because it was a down year of players that were eligible. Not saying the Sedins weren't good enough though, thats a totally different discussion.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Someone pretty please start a “Theo Fleuery should not be in the HOF” thread.... I want to see someone‘s head explode lol

 

[stampedingviking]

OP, is there something you aren't telling us?

I think mummy and daddy have taken away his sweeties. Maybe they're Canucks' fans and that's why he's having a tantrum.

 

[Imnotagoodposter]

Yea they were good but boring good, never cared about watching them. They’re probably hall of fame worthy, though.

 

[87turbobuick]

After Guy Carbonneau the door is wide open to anyone to get a participation invite to the hall.

 

[stampedingviking]

And btw, @Didalee Hed , I love you too. I don't think I've been mean-spirited in here, I just am a bit passionate about the HHOF and those who are included and those who are excluded. I'm quite passionate that the Sedins are not worthy of it. No slight to Canucks fans. I actually honored Trevor Linden and Bure in this thread and from the outset said that I thought the Sedins were good players with peaks of greatness for a few years.

Really?

Just childish, repeitive, boring drivel, then?

They were decent players but the reality is without the twin brothers-storyline they would not be in consideration for the hall by any stretch. They should get a special joint slot for Henrik and Daniel Sedin if they ever get indicted.
