On what planet is Brendan Shanahan not a Hall of Famer, but Adam Oates, Pavel Bure, Joe Sakic, and Mats Sundin are? Is it because he works for the NHL now? Don't get me wrong, those guys were all great ones, but aside from Sakic, not one of them was clearly a superior overall player to Shanahan.

Shanny not being elected to the HOF is almost as mind boggling and embarrassing as some of his rulings this past playoff season.

Also, as a Detroit Red Wings fan, I will forever be thankful for the role Shanahan played in beating the pee out of many Colorado Avalanche in the 1997 and 1998 seasons.

This is hard to believe. I'm pretty sure Shanahan had 600+ goals; something like 15th all time. Hard to believe.

Only player in NHL history with 600 goals and 2,000 PIM. Gordie Howe would appreciate both stats.

What about this guy? (stats from Wiki, don't shoot the messenger if they are wrong)

5th most games played in NHL history with 1639.
14th most goals scored in NHL history with 640.
Tied with Denis Savard for 27th in league history with 1,338 points.
Holds the record for most NHL career power-play goals with 274.

Andreychuck was a very good player for a long time..........Shanahan and Roenick who also didn't get in were supperior players IMO.

Think of how good Roenick could have been if his brain wasn't mush for like 65 percent of his career? Those early 90's Hawks teams were pretty awesome.
