Admin Victor 10,937 Posted June 23 Admin Share Posted June 23 Barring a last minute impassioned intervention, we will soon be seeing the end of the road for a handful of players who have been on the HOF ballot for 5-9 seasons. It always feels harsh taking players off the ballot until you consider that a HOF induction is an extremely high bar to clear and even being in the conversation is a fine achievement in its own. Paul Atreides @Mr_Hatter - first of all, Hatter just disappeared one day - although he did announce it when stepping away from the VSN. In his brief time in the VHL he didn't quite for 2 for 2 on Hall of Famers, with Atreides missing out in the end. Although he cleared the 100-point mark three times in his career, two of those were at the peak of the meta era, with Moscow and Atreides some of the main beneficiaries. With Atreides' more decorated teammates and contemporaries already recognised, the BOG ultimately decided he was a level below the rest. Zach Kisslinger II @Kisslinger - 12 more points than Atreides for the Warsaw lifer and an impressive career as part of the 2nd successful Predators era. Ultimately what's gone against the 2nd Kisslinger was that 215 of his points came in his first two seasons, before the attribute change decreased scoring significantly. After that it was a solid but unspectacular career - but King Kisslinger may make it 3rd time lucky based on results to date. Oskar Lindbergh @Doomsday - a goalie who started in that era that was battered by forwards up to S82, then benefited from goalies being the dominant players for a decade or so. Ultimately Lindbergh put up solid numbers and after years of trying with Toronto got his just rewards in the playoffs with Calgary - it wasn't quite enough to lift him out of the Hall of Very Good. Doomsday's wait for a first HOFer continues. Spartan and Gaikoku-hito 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
