Well, y'know, any scrub could win the Hart six times back then.

Players should probably stop scoring goals too, right? Wouldn't want anyone to break a scoring record. Oh but then goalies would do to well... Wouldn't want any of them to break a save/wins record.if he had any respect for the history of the game, he should not pursue it and leave it to Howe
Pretty sad your basing your opinion on 5th graders great canadian report. . Im basing mine on the research Ive done as an adult in an age where all the accumilated knowledge of our species is accessable in an instant.
A fifth grader knows nothing, understands nothing, has no idea of how to conduct any kind of meaningful research. But this is actually a good analogy for Gordie. Only a blind 5th grade fan boy who has been brain washed by his white trash dad to adore his childhood hero can think Gordie is anything but an average Joe put on a pedestal cause he played for quater of a century.
Good argument. That's why players like Gartner and Andreychuk absolutely belong in the Hall of Fame. I never understood why a short-lived peak is so overvalued on this site.

What a dumb, horrible take. Your analysis implies that the first time someone plays a game in the sport and sets the game record, no one should be allowed to play that sport since it's "disrespectful" to break records.
He's getting in. Hhof isn't that exclusive.Somebody has to do it, no big deal. The Hall of Fame is going to ask Marleau for his hockey stick when he's going to pass Howe, and that's going to be the closest Marleau will be to be in the HOF. He can bring his children and grandchildren to the HOF after that, and tell them that his hockey stick has made it to the HOF. Still pretty cool.
When I bring up the fact that every single player is a compiler since we're dealing with counting stats, heads start exploding and fence lines shift.I agree.
I don't know when this whole concept of players being "Compilers" became such a concept but it is an absolutely stupid argument. It is the biggest piece of poop argument that I have ever heard in my life about anything.
My thought is that some idiot was losing an argument with someone and desperately used this piece of poop concept in desperation and some 'geniuses' latched onto it. It's an embarrassment to all hockey fans.
