NHL players (post 1970) that do not belong in the hockey Hall Of Fame?

Please educate me on Mark Howe. Is he really HOF worthy or was he awarded based on his last name?

Are there any players that you would not of put into the HOF?

Not an inner circle guy and the name probably didn't hurt. But he had a long career starting as a good winger in the WHA & then as a top tier defenseman in the NHL for several years. The hockey hall of fame is more lenient than baseball's & anyone w/his resume is or will be elected whether or not his name is Howe.

I think he is also responsible for the nets no longer being anchored to the ice as he suffered a gruesome injury early in his career.

Mark Howe was a really good player, I have no problem with his HOF election. If Marty Howe made the HOF, it would definitely be on the family name.

Mark Howe was a fine one, well worthy of induction regardless of the family name. Incidentally,
his injury wasn't due to the net being anchored, but to its shape -- 'twas the spike formed by the
junction of the two semicircles of the back of the goal that produced the injury, and the injury
caused the shape of the nets to be changed soon thereafter. Now, for your consideration...

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.

As a Ranger fan I always felt that Walt Tkaczuk was a better two way player than Bob Gainey & would be in the hall if the two had switched teams.

Boom! Nailed Carbonneau...now I go to see who the other two are.
