Oops...another month long lapse...
Firstly, no its not my baby. My girlfriend's sister had one, 6lbs 11oz born Nov 13th. Don't expect me to be next!
Before that however, Jeremy got married Oct 20th in London, great times all around, to those who missed it. Queen's/Deep River represented. Then the happy couple went to Hawaii.

Well now here we are, and I have a question that I will hope to have some feedback on:
With the great HHOF class that just entered (Steve I bet you'd have liked to meet that class)
and the retirement of Mr. Eric Lindros...warrants the question many have asked...
Does Eric Lindros deserve to be in the Hockey Hall of Fame, and Will he be?
Discuss.
Until then, Go Habs.

No. Chance. In. Hell. Does. Lindros. Deserve. To. Be. In. The. Hall. Of. Fame.
And that said...he might get in, simply because a, he was pretty good; b, he won a league mvp; c, he was part of the 2002 Olympic gold medal team; and d, he played in Toronto, which automatically boosts a player's Hall of Fame credentials by 15% (and if you don't believe me, just check out the number of ex-Leafs who've been inducted into the HHOF). Still, no matter how you look at it, Lindros' career was one great, big "almost". He was "almost" the next Wayne Gretzky, but the Quebec debacle and a body that wouldn't let him be were his undoings. You can't fault his effort, but the achievements weren't HHOF worthy.

Thank you "Miss J"
I'm so glad that is the opinion, b/c I think he has great accomplishments ya but not amazing, and after watching guys like Stevens, Francis, MacInnis AND the Moose, there's no way Lindros stacks up beside them, merely a big lug with hands, who stuck around way longer than he should have...Cam Neely syndrome some called it but I disagree, Cam Neely deserved it. However, the other side of the Quebec debacle, Peter Forsberg, without a doubt first ballot HHOF.
Do you give any credit to the theory that his international play should add to his resume?
