8 of the 20 winningest goalies aren’t in the Hall of Fame.

There is no good argument to keep any of the top-25 out. Not until you get to Ward at 26.

Makes no sense why that should matter, but might be something to it because otherwise hes a slam dunk

Having won a Stanley Cup (or not having won one) should not be a criterion in deciding eligibility for the HHOF. As a positive attribute it reflects contributing to a great team, but it just as easily reflects having the good fortune of being a spare part on a great team. That’s how a Kevin Lowe gets in, or maybe secures a future HHOF spot for Patrick Maroon. Taken to an extreme, that means a Chris Dingman gets in over a Jarome Iginla.

I don't like the word winningest.

Should be 3rd most wins, 4th most wins, etc. Not 4th winningest goalie.

I agree. But it would be fun to send it up by using the word ‘losingest’ in retaliation.

Or we could insist that if people are going to butcher the English language, they should do it properly. Say ‘mostest winningest’, or don't use the word at all.

Loserongo going to the HOF, UGH! What a bleeping joke. The guy needs his tires pumped every month or what. He's not a Stanley Cup winner and had 2 chances to win it in 2011 and blew it. I betcha Danny Sabourin will have to fill in during Loserongo's speech because of sudden and intense diahrrhoea!

Getbak's right that Barrasso and Vernon deserve to be in. Heck, Kipprusoff should be given consideration then.

Personally, I think that Luongo has vindicated himself post-Canucks. He is an entertaining personality. I would not consider myself a fan but it's just enough for me to be able to look at his career objectively. IMO he is a hall of famer and hopefully, this opens the gate for other star goalies to finally go in the hall.

1. Goalie wins do not matter. Dumb way to judge a player's quality.

2. Cups matter but not that much. Again, that's a team stat.

3. If you're one of the top 3 players at the most important position I'm the sport over a 10+ year stretch you should be in the hall. This is a dumb argument. Lundqvist will be in next for the same exact reason and no one should even raise an eyebrow.

4. The only mistake here was Alfredsson instead of Mogilny and it's not like it's a travesty. They're both kind of borderline.

5. The HHOF should do a year where they just induct 4 goalies and reset the standard a bit.

I mean I just looked at goalie stats for the past 20 seasons. Luongo played more games than anyone, and has a .919 save percentage. The only guy to achieve that sv% in that period to play even HALF as many games is Tuuka Rask, and he should probably get in eventually too... Oh, and Luongo has been retired for three of those seasons.
