I think the...It's scary, but you're right.<br /><br />I think the only thing keeping him out is the bigger names looking to get in. There are only so many slots per year. Will he get his due right away? Will he be remembered 10 years after the fact if he doesn't get in right away?bamlindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144916743107134577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677709835426556589.post-75615664522332016432011-01-06T20:29:53.766-07:002011-01-06T20:29:53.766-07:00If Joseph gets in having never won a cup...and he ...If Joseph gets in having never won a cup...and he probably will because he played in Toronto...then there should be no doubt that Osgood should go in. Not to mention the 400+ wins. He isn't going to finish his career with as many as I thought, though. I thought he had a shot at getting past Joseph into #4 all time, but Howard has taken over in Detroit. However, he should pass Hall this year to get into 8th. And if Detroit re-signs him for another year to back up Howard (should he also sign), which would probably get him to 7th. So, how do you keep a 3 time (maybe more after this year) Stanley Cup champion and #8 in all time wins goalie OUT of the hall?AvenueDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410527962292190560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677709835426556589.post-23864013418545367432011-01-06T11:10:14.644-07:002011-01-06T11:10:14.644-07:00I think the toughest hurdle for Osgood to overcome...I think the toughest hurdle for Osgood to overcome in order to get in the HOF will be the number of 'guys in line' before him.<br /><br />Joe Sakic, Mike Modano, Nick Lidstrom, Scott Niedermayer, Chris Pronger, Martin Brodeur, Dominik Hasek, Ed Belfour, Joe Nieuwendyk, Doug Gilmour, Jaromir Jagr, the list goes on.<br /><br />The pecking order might be too deep for Osgood to make it in right away. Will people remember him 10 years after he retires?bamlindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144916743107134577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677709835426556589.post-77640177155013723412011-01-06T07:51:42.988-07:002011-01-06T07:51:42.988-07:00I've been thinking about writing an Osgood pos...I've been thinking about writing an Osgood post asking the same question. I wrote a little about my thoughts on Canuck's blog, but to sum it up here: I don't consider Osgood a HOFer. To me, he is like Mike Vernon, Richter, Barrasso, etc. and those guys are certainly not HOFers. He is the baseball equivalent of Fred McGriff, IMO.<br /><br />I have nothing against Osgood and will understand if he gets in. The issue is the HOF; the criteria is all out of whack and half the guys in there shouldn't be. I'm actually working on a post about this and hope to separate the wheat from the chaff.Drop The Gloves!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15728510960787862232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677709835426556589.post-19603384386533540772011-01-05T23:20:42.809-07:002011-01-05T23:20:42.809-07:00like I said on my blog last week about this... he&...like I said on my blog last week about this... he's got the second est winning % and second best GAA on that list. If you think Belfour or Joseph should be in, then Ozzy should be.<br />And let's face it, with Fuhr in the Hall, the bar has been set REALLY low. Pretty much any goalie can get in now.Captain Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189853561737282234noreply@blogger.com
