3rd Line Winger
Yeah, forgot about the third cup!The hall has been notoriously tough on goalies, they are underrepresented by far. It has been helped lately with recent classes making up for this however even amongst his peers there's going to be Bobby Lou, Henrik, Brodeur (who shouldn't even count considering how long he played on top of everything else), Miller and Osgood.
I have this argument all the time here with Chicago fans who cant' understand why Cory Crawford won't be in the Hall. Granted I think Quick's ability to stay relevant in NY is going to vastly improve his chances but they always had the same argument ( 2 cups to 2 cups, but Chicago is way more deserving than LA). And I really hate to say it but Quickie is now a 3 time cup winner. Name is on there, remember they don't ask how, they ask how many.
In any case, his chances are vastly improved over if he had retired when he was traded. But it's still going to be at the whimsey of the 18 voters.
Good post with helpful info.
