    Default New HOF Inductees announced.

    Am I the only one who is pissed that Pat Burns wasn't inducted in his first year of eligibility, before he died? Hasek, Forsberg, Modano and Blake also join him.

    He should have been inducted while alive, particularly since everyone knew he would be anyways. But the Hall of Fame is largely irrelevant except as a way for NHL Radio to fill some airtime. It's been a joke for a long long time.

    All good selections this year, tough to argue against any of them.

    As for Burns, his family must be celebrating, congrats to them.

    Hmmmmmmm, Rob Blake before Lindros?? Lindros didn't play as many games or win a cup.. But he was a dominating player, he definitely changed the game, and at one point was a top 3 player in the league..

    I am soooooooo happy for the Burns family!! Pat was a great coach and a great man..

    Burns should have got in while he was still alive, no doubt. I say the same thing about Don Cherry. He should be in there now before he's gone.

    Bob McKenzie remembering Pat Burns in an article a few years ago. One of the most touching things I have ever read about the man. Great read, if you haven't read it yet.

    he is also top 30 playoff scoring and 3 Cups

    he is one of the most underrated players to have played the game imo

    Recchi was never an elite player. Very good, but he had some of the greatest centermen of alltime to leach off of. I got no problem with him being skipped for now.

    i am sorry i just can't agree that you can get to 12th all time in scoring leeching off of other players

    Modano only got in because of his place of birth

    I'm guessing he's got to retire first. Otherwise, they run the risk of him getting in and saying something that makes them wish he hadn't gotten in yet.

    Hard to say, as it's not like he'll leave Coaches Corner and just never be heard from again. There is always the chance this happens..........I mean look at that dreadful Joe Namath interview a few years back LOL.

    Modano was a star. Recchi was a nice complimentary player who could play on a team's top line, but his greatest feat was longevity. That counts for something, but not when compared against the real stars of the game. Lots of guys not in the Hall more deserving than Recchi.

    Honestly....Hasek, Forsberg, and Burns should have been the class this year. Blake and Modano were good players, but HoF? No.

    One thing I don't get....if Forsberg gets in on his first try, why has Lindros been passed over a couple times now? Pretty similar careers....short, but completely dominant for a good chunk of it.
