Three well-respected defensive forwards of the '70s, '80s, and '90s. Two are honoured in the Hall of Fame.
One, while a decent player, does not belong there. One is borderline, famous mainly on the shoulders of
his teammates' success. One is richly deserving of enshrinement but has never even been deemed worthy
of consideration by the idiot selectors. Guess which is which.

The guy who was famous because of his teammates is Bob Gainey. I'd only be guessing at the other two.
