I thought crazy mike was fired years ago?! The crazy thing is that Howsen didn't say yes. The Isles most likely were looking for Galchenyuk, no guarantees the Habs would have taken Murray and worst case scenario Columbus gets Reinhart. So Howsen is a nut job unless Murray is the next coming of Orr which is very doubtful. And that's exactly why Columbus is where they are.

Zinovjiev Part two? Why would anyone waste a pick on a Russina player. If i were a GM i would not allow my scouts to pick a Russina player any time before the 5th round.

Have the Bruins ever had a Russian player worth their weight in borscht or worth the rubles they were paid?

Adam Oates to be named Washington head coach. Good for him.

Love it. You'd think they'd learn after that lazy #27, what's his name?

Oates, Sakic, Sundin and Bure are the new HHOF class.

I think Shanahan should have been in instead of Sundin. Mats never won a cup, no individual awards and never a first team all star.

First ballot Hall of Famers should be reserved for an elite few with the hardware to back up their selection. I have no problem with Sundin going in, but I think he should have had to wait a few years.

Except that first ballot HOFers aren't recognized in hockey like they are in other sports, and even in other sports, it's more of a made up thing that happened in the 80s to try to give some prestige to the voters and inductees. Prior to that, most of the time players weren't inducted on their first try: Cy Young, Joe Dimaggio, and Yogi Berra weren't first ballot HOFers but you'd be hard pressed to find many people that would say Paul Molitor is in some way a truer example of someone who should be in the Baseball HOF rather than the 3 who didn't make it on the first ballot.

Maybe Shanny pissed a few people off last year in his new job, count me as one of them, I can't stand the prick anymore. ........ but yes he still has to go in but make the fucker wait!!

Pat Burns. Absolutely. He'll get in but a lick of good it does to recognize him now that he's dead and can't enjoy it.

I actually think Lindros should be in before Sundin.

Maybe the HHOF should allow more than four at a time if there are enough to get in.

Sundin was a fine player, but not 1st ballot HOF considering the talent pool. Heavy lobbying from the Leafs organization put him over the top.
Shanahan was the victim of some payback by a couple of heavy hitters for his vice-principal work.
HHOF, like all Halls of Fame, is as political as they come.

I think Shanny had as much success internationally as Sundin. If I recall Sundin won 1 Olympic Gold just like Shanny. Not sure about Canada/World Cups or IIHF WHC's? Although I think Sundin should be there in my mind he is still an under-achiever. I always said if you put Forsberg's heart in Sundin he would have been unstoppable. He was more skilled than Foppa but Peter The Great would go through a wall. Sundin played with the same eggs in his pockets for his entire career.

Sundin never had the benefit of playing with Yzerman, Federov, Lidstrom, Datsyuk, etc. Sundin had 1 year of Mogilny, and played with guys like Antropov, Tucker, and Ponikarovsky on his wing for years. If he had done like Bourque and requested trade near the end to a team of his choosing, he likely would have had his cup. As I said, I'm more surprised Oates made it over Shanny. Oates had almost no international experience, no cups, and almost no goals. Kind of like Bernie Federko ten years ago.
