[PGT] Called to the Hall: Iggy headlines the class of 2020!

[nik-]

Kevin Lowe is the Ringo Starr of hockey.

[SportsJunky]

Duha voted for Lowe but not Fleury in that mock draft. What are we missing?

The "Rivalry Class?"

[looooob]

I always hoped (naively) they would know when to stop with the Oilers. Anderson was where to stop

but like Gillies with the Islanders or Dick Duff or whomever Kevin Lowe is the latest example they always squeeze in one too many from the dynasty teams. he was a good player, that's it

and the same class as Iggy? Puke

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Kevin Lowe? My goodness, he was a good d-man for many years, but a HOF’er? Nope.

Congrats to Iggy, no-brainer. Thought Alfie might get in this time.

[Johnhitbox]

Iggy!! I didn’t even doubt it for a second

I don’t know much about Kim St. Pierre.

Ken Holland gets the nod too as a builder

You mean his ability to absolutely SEWER a franchise???

Well, he's a hall of famer in my heart just for his Oilers management skills.

Is he not in your HOF for that?

[JurassicTunga12]

Iggy! So well deserved. Favourite player of all time.

[craigwd]

Bravo Kim St. Pierre! Super well deserved.

But not Jen Botterill again? WTF

[looooob]

As for Wilson these long time coming inductions are always interesting- why now? not saying I totally disagree. I guess lowe a bit like that too...like Rogie Vachon a few years back

not sure if both Wilson and Lowe benefiting from their off ice stuff (although as suggested above only partly in jest not sure Lowe didn't hurt his case there)

on ice with the Norris etc I get it for Wilson although his numbers etc aren't that far off 'our own' Gary Suter who has a Calder of his own. Wilson is ahead I'd say but not by leaps and bounds.

Of course lowe should be in the hall of fame. His ability to destroy the oilers is worthy of celebrating.

[Bunk]

Go Jarmoe!

[JohnnyB]

Hard for me to imagine any player ever replacing Iggy as my favourite. Such a great player and person.

I was going to comment about how it takes legendary skill to consistently hamstring a roster with terrible decision making/ hiring/ asset management while still having the fan base and owner eating out of the palm of your hand for an entire decade.

I feel the same way, my personal connection to him is so strong for a man I’ve never really met. I’m so happy for Iggy and his family, very proud to be a Flames fan today!

Iggy's Induction Page at the HHOF: https://www.hhof.com/htmlinduct/ind20Iginla.shtml

In recognition of a truly spectacular career, Jarome Iginla was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2020.

[FlamesAddiction]

Does anyone know how many players have gone the Hall their first year of being eligible?
