Might not be a popular opinion in these parts because I can see why Vernon has not made it yet.
He played on some really good teams. I always thought Kiprusoff was a way better goalie than Vernon.
Stat wise Vernon may have more wins, cups, etc. Yet Kipper won games by himself. On some bad teams.
2004 he became a legend. Vernon never did that. Vernon was a good goalie but not a magician.
Mogilny should be in the hall no doubt. Dont know why he is not.
That said Fleury should be in the Hall too. I get off ice he is an ahole. Yet it is about the game of hockey not the game of personal opinion. His stats alone should get him there. I don’t like the guy but to ignore what he has done in the game of hockey is wrong.
With any preceding argument I say, Kevin Lowe should not be in the Hall of Fame.
That is an insult to every hockey fan. Look at his stats on some of the best offensive teams ever. Darnell Nurse and Rasmus Anderson deserve it more than he does. That is saying a lot. No they don’t deserve it!
I don’t consider Gio a HHOF player.
Yet by the Lowe standard he is.
