He's going in as a player, luckily for him not as a moronic GM or hockey op.
He was a very good defensive player who was lucky enough to play on some very, very good hockey teams. But is he HOF worthy?
Zero postseason all star teams. The closest he got to being a Norris finalist was 5th. Yes, I know those accolades are usually reserved for offensive-minded defensemen but Rod Langway won it twice during the same era putting up almost identical stats on worse teams.
So basically Lowe was a very good defensive d-man, who played on a lot of great teams and won a lot of Cups, played on the Canada Cup '84 team, played in the All Star game several times, and...........that's all I got.
No wonder he had to wait 20 years to get in and wasn't voted in previously.
