This league supposedly had a standard of 500 goals for most who played over the last 30 years. Sedins are nowhere close. Stanley Cups were a significant notch on the belt unless you're an Iginla or Thornton.
393 goals and 240 goals.
Nope, doesn't cut it.
That's on you...The capitalization in the thread title gave me a migraine.
So if we're judging strictly by goals, Peter Forsberg wasn't a HOFer?
That's on you...
It's actually capitalized appropriately for a title.
Right... Two darn missing commas ruin everything, even though it's totally understandable.That title is terrible. Should be:
The Sedins Were Stars, at Best, Who had Each Other. Not HHOF Worthy
What's so shocking? I don't hate the Sedins or the Canucks.
In 17 years or whatever they played I never stayed up once to watch the Sedins play. I'm willing to bet not many people outside of Vancouver did either. They were not worth the price of admission. Stars yes most years, definitely not superstars outside of one or two when their team was loaded with supporting talent.
when do your parents make you go to bed?
because the sedins peak was top 5 in the league. they were dominate. this is the NHL hof not mlb.Saku Koivu did 0.74 in 1204 games, 8 years as Habs captain and is likely to be out of the HHOF.
I'm onboard OP. Some people want to see Patrick marleau get in because he's played a super large amount of games or something.
Lot of these fans don't have much to cheer about, so theyll attach words like "unique" to their star player and add some obscure stat that gives them some perceived weighted value. The underlying numbers arent there. Yes, they may have had a good few seasons or so, but they're not superstars and hall of famers. For every sedin, marleau, and doan (yes..if Arizona fans existed, they'd be advocating for him too), there are ovechkins, Crosby's, mcdavids, and other truly hall of fame players.
It's all a popularity contest and a tourist attraction, so these B and C tier players will make it in though.
Leading the league in assists for three straight yrs is also pretty elite company.I'm onboard OP. Some people want to see Patrick marleau get in because he's played a super large amount of games or something.

Surprised this thread is not dead yet, all we have is someone who doesn't answer questions and keeps repeating the same retort.
I haven't read this thread. I will concede that the Sedins' individually are not deserving of the HHOF.
However, they are a wholly unique entity in all of sports - Identical twins, playing their entire careers together and on the same line, winning Hart and Art Ross trophies in a period where Crosby/Malkin/Ovechkin reigned supreme. Identical twins! I think we have a tendency to understate just how unique this is. To achieve what the Sedins have achieved might never be accomplished again. To me, this gives the Sedins a clear edge over others also waiting for a nomination nod.
They may have to wait a few years to get in, but they will. Their situation is far too unique not to warrant it.

That's exactly why the NHL higher ups treat him with such disrespect. I agree though and Fleury is one of my favourite players of all time. He should've been in a long time ago IMO. I just don't get why OP included him in this thread about the Sedins.And Theo did all that while being a coke-boy / hacking a pack of darts a day, Honestly super impressive, He should be in as well as the sedins
"had" should be capitalized.That's on you...

Hey mods, I am truly sorry if you do not like this post. I looked it over a lot and truly do not believe I am breaking rules. Please do not ding me.Mine was actually grammatically correct. But to maintain the meaning I intended, an alternate way would be to write it:
The Sedins Were Stars at Best, Who: Were Coddled From Day 1 by Demanding to Play With Each Other, and Maintaining That Demand Throughout Their Whole Careers Making it Nearly Impossible to Move Them (While Benefiting Mostly Themselves) - Particularly Once Their Careers Started to Decline Shortly After 2011 (and After Signing Their Expensive, Over-Paid Final Contracts With No-Movement Clauses). Not HHOF Worthy.
But there wasn't enough room in the title for all of that.
Good day.

OP- I truly believe this thread should be deleted for being a troll post for being so obviously meant to upset Canucks fans. I will not insult you, but I want to take to task your very intentionally inflammatory digs towards the Canucks fans. You just want to start arguments. You have a very poor take. You should not be allowed to post this stuff anymore.
Good for you- your team won a cup that ours didn’t, probably 14 years or so before you were born. Oooooh sick burn. Please grow up. The only thing fleury has over the Sedins is a sad story. A sad story I want to kill graham James for. But it doesn’t make fleury a better candidate.
They’re all hall of famers. Put down your weird grudge, buddy. I love you.
