Query: what makes Tkachuck Hall worthy over Brindy? I ask this totally open to Tkcachuck deserving to be in over Brinday. I just want to know.

He probably bullied someone into it.

Keith

Stanley Cups - ZERO

Rod
14844527321184-39

Stanley Cups - 2 (one as a player, one as a 'builder')
 
I remember Tkachuck's name being said a lot on TV when he was with the Blues. My galaxy brain thinking on this is how any borderline player gets into the Hall. The voters just remember the player's name being said a lot during a certain period on the voter's youth/younger days.

500 goals. The shiny number. Just as baseball can’t keep out 500HR, 3,000 hits guys, the HHOF likes the “milestone” numbers.
 
Here’s my take … Tkachuk was on the committee’s mind last year after the 4 Nations and they dragged it out a year to make is seem like they were actually thinking rather than reacting. The older guys usually ride in on some sort of vibe wave, and his two idiot sons gave him that. But it’s usually time delayed. Rod’s chance at that wave is next year, because the committee doesn’t want to react immediately to this Cup when it’s not supposed to count towards his career as a player.

Either that or Francis is still big footing him and it won’t matter.

100% this. I agree that next year is the one to watch with Rod...this stuff that went down this year with his coaching Cup win to add to his overall body of work takes time, but it is certain to factor in next year in his favor (even if player and builder are not supposed to interconnect).

If next year passes without Rod getting the call, I think a ton of Canes fans and Rod fans should be concerned and angry!
 
"You knew what you were going to get every single time you played against him: You had to dig in," former NHL forward Keith Tkachuk, a member of this year's class, said of Brind'Amour, on Monday's Hall of Fame media conference calls. "Hats off to him. He'll be here, there's no doubt in my mind, as a player and as a builder."
