Admin Victor 10,536 Posted November 9, 2022 Admin Share Posted November 9, 2022 Nice and easy one this season. With us taking a break from Builder inductions for at least this season and a split vote* for 2nd place among players, we only have one induction this season and it was something of a slam dunk. *I should note that we don't do run-off votes for the HOF as generally if there is no consensus for 2nd place that might mean that we think several of the players are worthy but maybe not as a first ballot choice. Anyway.... RW - Duncan Idaho, S77-S84 RS: 576 GP, 367 G, 424 A, 791 P, +174, 1,222 PIM, 2,734 HIT, 249 SB, 60 GW PO: 82 GP, 52 G, 70 A, 122 P, +21, 189 PIM, 469 HIT, 39 SB, 9 GW S77 Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy (Top Rookie) S80 Scotty Campbell Trophy (Most Valuable) S80 Scott Boulet Trophy (Top Two-Way Forward) S81 Scott Boulet Trophy (Top Two-Way Forward) S82 Scott Boulet Trophy (Top Two-Way Forward) S83 Scott Boulet Trophy (Top Two-Way Forward) S84 Scotty Campbell Trophy (Most Valuable) S84 Brett Slobodzian Trophy (Most Oustanding) S84 Mike Szatkowski Trophy (Most Points) S84 Scott Boulet Trophy (Top Two-Way Forward) 2x All-VHL First Team (S81, S84) 3x All-VHL Second Team (S80, S82, S83) Usually I do a brief write-up here but it's almost easier to just list some highlights in this case: 25th most goals all time, the highest total since Matt Thompson and Podrick Cast retired in S68 29th most points, again the highest since Thompson and Cast 3rd most hits of all time Joint most Boulet Trophies, tying the legendary David Smalling on 5 Joint 2nd most career playoff points, tying Dakota Lamb just 8 points behind Scotty Campbell himself Most hits in the playoffs by anyone ever, nearly 100 hits above Mikko Lahtinen in 2nd place All he didn't win was a Continental Cup, coming up short 4 straight times with Moscow, but his legacy is secure anyway. Congratulations on another Hall of Famer @OrbitingDeath , also now joint 2nd among all members with 5 to his name. Voting results Duncan Idaho - 12/13 --- Aurelien Moreau - 4/13 Erik Killinger - 3/13 Kristof Welch - 3/13 Jakab Holik - 1/13 Matty Socks - 1/13 John Merrick, Lee Xin, Robin Galante Nilsson, Paul Atreides, Brendan Telker, Reylynn Reinhart - 0/13 OrbitingDeath, v.2, animal74 and 17 others 10 2 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leandrofg 1,018 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Fitting that Idaho makes it to the HoF on a class of his own... or, better said, in his singular class. S85 is the class of Idaho. Congratulations, @OrbitingDeath ! OrbitingDeath and Brandon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

animal74 1,606 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Well @OrbitingDeath at least Deathwalker beat Idaho in two things: more hits and more Cups! Seriously, though, you are one of the best and this induction is elementary. It was an honor to share the ice with you! Congrats!

Anyway, obviously we’ll deserved @OrbitingDeath . To the surprise of absolutely no one of course since your players are basically guaranteed slam dunks.

I know who and tbh I somewhat respect the decision to get two of the "2nd place" players some love because you know Idaho will win. Although would not be good if everyone did that. 6 hours ago, Beketov said: Wait someone voted for Holik? Someone always does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
