What ballot of HOFer will Marc-Andre Fleury be?

[GeeoffBrown]

IMO Marc Andre Fleury is a Chris Osgood.

Fleury has a lot of wins because there are more wins handed out in the shootout era and he played on good teams. Same with the Jennings, that is largely a team defense award.

Of current HOF eligible goalies who are not in the HOF, I would consider Curtis Joseph, Miikka Kiprusoff, Tim Thomas, Tom Barrasso to have better individual achievements.

Now personally, I think all of the guys I mentioned including Osgood should go in the hall but they are super stingy with goalies.

what has Jospeh won?

Only 3rd in all time wins for a goalie with 492 but I guess all the people trying to bring him down will somehow be justified because his save pct wasn't out of this world even then its pretty comparable to some of the best of all time.

Ideally never.

BTW first ballot.... are you guys OK? Superior goalies like Giacomin, Holmes, Worters, Brimsek and Broda had to wait a long time to get in.

Some of these pups might not know on who Eddie, Hap, Zero, Turk are. MAF has been a nice feel good story this year, but HOF, no.
