    Mike Keenan may have coached the NYR to the Cup, but he is an idiot. Check out his Wiki bio.Aside from being a despicable human being the only job he could find was coaching the Chinese KHL team from which he was fired.

    But he gave into Mark Messier's demand for a pre-game meal of Steak & Ice Cream at the '87 Canada Cup! Pure Genius!

    Today I eliminated:

    Arthur Farrell F
    Fred Scanlan F

    Last two "forwards" (rather than a modern position) that played back in a pre-NHL era. Bye!

    Time to get rid of two D men

    Leo Boivin- His NHL career spanned 19 years, unto itself a pretty remarkable achievement. However he never made an all star team or won an award. his plus/minus stands at -212. He managed only 13 points in 54 playoff games and never won a Cup.

    Red Horner D Won a Cup with the Leafs in 1932 which to some fans automatically qualifies him for hockey heaven. However, Horner never won an award, nor played in an all star game. He was known as an enforcer and amassed only 152 points "His election to the Hall of Fame has been controversial, as he never before his final two seasons was regarded as even the best defenceman on his own team" Wikipedia.

    Today I eliminate:

    Tommy Phillips and Valeri Kharlamov - neither had any NHL experience. Kharlamov was a great international player (156 points in 105 games), but without NHL experience, needs to be eliminated.

    I'm going to eliminate two more D from the pre-war era
    Syd Howe D, LW- Known for his versatility, played both left wing and defense. His point total is notable but not overly impressive. Played on three Cup winners but never won an individual award

    Babe Siebert D- Hart Trophy winner and 3 time all star, played on two Cup winning teams. Physical player. Averaged 21 points/season. Removing him because he played in an era when the game was considerably different (1920's)

    Today I will reject:

    Sergei Makarov & Phil Housley

    Makarov: He's only in the HOF for what he did for hockey in general, he was a fantastic player when he played for the USSR/Red Army.

    Phil Housley: Well because he was Phil Housley - was he ever a top D within his generation - NO - did he score a lot of points? yes, but only in an era which players would score a lot of points...

    If it matters, next on the chopping block unless someone gets to them first is Grant Fuhr and Glenn Anderson.... And I will explain why tomorrow.

    Babe Pratt D 12 year career played on 2 Cup winners and won a Hart Trophy. appeared in 2 All Star games, averaged just under 25 pts/season

    Today I eliminate the following:

    Glenn Anderson & Grant Fuhr

    Why Anderson?

    Well was he any better than several players currently not in the HOF? do you due diligence there... Was he better than Bernie Nicholls?

    Fuhr:

    Well was he any better than Andy Moog? Barrasso? Beezer etc? NOPE..

    Was the man good? absolutely, however he's a HOF'er for his Cups, not because he was "great"....

    So those two should be bounced.... I can make an argument for several other goalies and wingers that should be in that aren't but those two are? I suppose 4-5 Cups can change a lot of minds...

    Would the Oilers have been better with Liut or Fuhr?

    Would the Oilers have been better with Larmer or Anderson (or Bernie Nicholls for that matter)?

    IMO, this would be more fun if we could nominate players that fans believe are more deserving......
