If that's the case then he could've just clarified his interpretation of the data without the passive aggressive "interesting..." comment. I never said HOF though, and in that example there is one parent that went 1 for 3 when it came to successful NHL players, so no I do not think that 4 examples of elite players having elite sons in the history of the league works as a good argument that Tij will follow his fathers trajectory.
