Mike Vernon had a very very high level of success in some very distinct era's in the NHL. He played very well in the high flying 80's when goal scoring was at it's peak and won a Cup in 89 with Calgary.

He than had a high level of success in the 90's with the beginning of the 90's being a more up tempo, high scoring style of hockey and than in the later part of the 90's when it was more defensive minded. He played lights out in 1997 and won the cup with Detroit and Conn Smythe as the playoff MVP on a team that was so stacked, it's not even possible in today's NHL.

He played in 3 different decades of hockey and had success. He deserves to be in HHOF without question and the numbers and the accomplishment's prove it as well.

I am a little shocked with some of the sentiment with regards to him, the guy's resume speaks for it's self without question!
