The Sedins Were Stars at Best Who had Each Other. Not HHOF Worthy.
- Thread starter Tofveve
- Start date
And Guy Carbonneau got in with 600 points in 1300 games. So what? Is that your only criteria? Either way you don't run the HHOF and they obviously take many other factors into account. There are many players who got into the HHOF but aren't as accomplished in terms of NHL hardware as the Sedins, who won multiple awards including the Art Ross, Hart, Ted Lindsay, etc.
You also have to keep in mind that the Sedins did what they did in a much lower scoring league than most of the HHOF inductees did and not only that, they did it in the meat grinder of the Western conference where teams actually played defense and had to deal with the absolute worst travel and scheduling situations.
PPG player (6 30+ goal seasons, a 50 goal season, 400+ goals for his career) who's career was cut short from concussions.
If anything, Kariya's inclusion says Theoren Fleury should definitely get in.

So much cringe in this thread. "Slightly better than Trevor Linden"
In Trevor Linden's best year he finished 35th in league scoring.
Henrik Sedin had more assists in his best year than Linden had points. (+ the fact 95-96 was considerably higher scoring than 09-11)
Everyone in BC loves Trevor, no one considers him close to the Twins as players.
Your desire for Fluery to be in is valid. Taking that out on the Sedins with cringe comments is ridiculous.

Lmao this dude might be Theo Fleury
Certainly the same level of whininess. What exactly is the "political" motivation for inducting the Sedins??

As a Calgary fan I can only imagine why you didn't want to watch them play against the Flames

Take a deep breath! Do you understand that its a whole different era Fleury had for example 100 p 92-93 was at no 20 that year, mario took it with 160 p with 2 others over 140 p!
Fleury shouldn't be in. Guy was famous living his dream and couldnt stay off the booze. Hot head with a napoleon complex. Go cry a river....

They’re a package deal. Whether you like it or not, combine all their stats and trophies and you get a Hall of Fame worthy player named Sedin Twins.

Yea, even discounting their individual play, which is a little above borderline on its own, the sheer novelty of the twins is probably something we're not going to see again in professional sports for a very, very long time. It's not just that they "had each other", it's that their chemistry was so incomprehensible together that it literally seemed like telepathy at times. They were special and HHOF worthy, end of
HOF Rule: Must be retired for 3 years before one can become eligible.
Dude is complaining like they are already in.
Take a breather sport.

I've never seen M. Tkachuk make a no look, in-between the legs, with his back turn, 1 touch pass before to a teammate that led to a goal. That goal was special because of the totality of it, not just because of Daniel scoring it with his stick in-between his legs.
It doesn't really matter. You're just some guy with an opinion. It's not your call whether or not they make the HHOF anyways. Also, this is the HHOF, not the NHLHOF.

I feel like even if their HHOF stats are marginal (I have no idea) they were still unique and significant enough to the game to get in anyway.
Hilarious how OP is still echoing the same thing over and over. Completely clueless
Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the Sedins reputation right now. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the hecking heck should they get in, they're only marginally better than Trevor Linden?? This can't be happening. I'm having a f***ing breakdown. I don't want to believe the hockey world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Theo Fleury to get in and fix this broken hall. I cannot deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought they were ridiculed outside on Vancouver???? This is so effed.

I'd say they at least start the conversation at the top of the totem pole when it comes to chemistry in sports (not just hockey). That + them being identical twins is pretty nuts
He was over a PPG, finished with more points than either Sedin in less seasons, had 8 30+ goal seasons, 3 40+ goal seasons, a 51 goal season, 455 goals total, won a Stanley Cup, a world Junior gold and an Olympic gold. Had the context of growing up in poverty had neighbors buy him equipment and taken to games, was repeatedly sexually abused by a Junior coach when he was like 15, overcame that, was only 5'6" and drafted in the 8th round (166th overall), overcame his later career substance abuse issues and was resubmitted back into the league to finish his career as a Calgary Flame. I think it's a slam dunk. But because a bunch of voters didn't like him, he's been locked out. I say stand back and have some perspective.

The first few years take away from point totals & prime/peak seasons in the end. But with the heights they reached, that perseverance should add to their legacy, not subtract.

Looks up how many Games Henrik Sedin Missed in a 10 year span of 2004 and 2014
answer? ZERO
