Dino Ciccarelli to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame...FINALLY!

[JimBuck]

It sounds like after 8 years of eligibility that Dino will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame! Good to see a player like Dino finally make it in. He is one of the best garbage goalscorers we've had in the past 20 years and he deserves it! Congrats to Dino!

Worked hard in front of the net. Congrats for Dino!

I wonder if he'll wear pants to the ceremony?

NICE!

IMO i would put Phil Housley, Joe Nieuwendyk, Doug Gilmour, Eric Lindros, Kevin Lowe, Dale Hunter and Adam Oates in before Dino but when you get 8,724 crosschecks to the back in front of the net, you deserve it

awesome for him to get in, I love it.

And for you to say Eric Lindros in a HOF thread, now thats funny.. Guy deserves a box of pucks at the most and that is it.

I'm not so sure about that, you might want to check out the NHL's 600 goal club, its a pretty elite club. I'm kind of surprised one or more of Housley, Nieuwendyk, & Oates didn't get in but Dino is plenty worthy.

Most overhyped player in NHL history

Maybe I'm missing something here but wasn't Phil Housley inducted in 2004? The 600 goal club is a pretty impressive feat especially during the late 80's and 90's when the game was much more cut throat and brutal. Grinding out 600 goals in front of the net is very impressive.

Man do I miss the Norris Division days.

You are correct, I should have double checked before opening my big mouth.

You are correct, he was inducted into the United States Hockey HOF in 2004

Lindros was the most dominant, talented and feared player of the 90's no doubt, sure he was a pain in the a but that doesn't take away what he did in his prime. If he kept his head up, he'd still be playing

He kinda falls into the category of inductees and two of my all-time favs Cam Neely and Clark Gillies, they had a great run of 6-7 years then flattened out but still voted in years after their carrers ended

[Bear55]

Lindros was pretty dominant for about 8-9 years there, I think he will get in eventually, it might just take a little longer. He did average over a point per game in his career, yes it was cut short but that itself if pretty impressive.

Cam Neely shoulda won an Oscar for playing "Sebas" in Dumb and Dumber
