Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Flyers Hall of Fame, Murray, Craven

Loved otto.
wish they would bring someone like otto or E in to do face off clinics with the kids.
I am sure they do things like that, but it would be nice if the big guy was walking the halls like pronger.
probably need bigger halways....

Jimmy Watson should be next for the Flyers Hall, it's long overdue.

Tocchet will be in there eventually . Keenan I never want to see in there, guy's a douche! Some personal faves I wanna see in there, Jimmy Watson, Eric Desjardins, Ilkka Sinisalo and Bob Kelly. I think Lindros should get votes, even tho lots of people dont want him there.

Like him or hate him, Keenan was the second best coach in team history for the period he was here.

Lindros deserves to be in.

Agreed
The following should be no brainers:
Jimmy Watson
Paul Holmgren (as a player)
Mike Keenan
Rick Tocchet
Pelle Lindbergh
Eric Lindros
John Leclair
Eric Desjardins
Rod Brind'amour
Mark Recchi
Simon Gagne

Also the following should receive serious consideration:
Andre Lacroix
Andre Dupont
Bob Kelly
Bod Dailey
Brad McCrimmon
Brad Marsh

and finally, current players who will be in some day:
Kimmo Timonen
Braydon Coburn
Claude Giroux

and, if they play here long enough perhaps:
Jake Voracek
Wayne Simmonds
Sean Couturier
Steve Mason

Lindros not only deserves Flyers HOF status, his number should be in the rafters.

Lindros, LeClair, and Keenan for sure!

It's too bad Tim Kerr didn't play longer because he would have been a shoe in for the Hockey Hall of Fame. He averaged over a point per game.

Cam Neeley is a great argument as to why Lindros & Kerr belong in the HOF

no doubt

Agreed. Sucks how it all ended, but he was the face of the game itself for a while, and was the second-most dominating player I ever saw live after Lemieux.

Exactly...but Kerr will never get in. Lindros will be in for sure.

Some whisper down the lane stories from a ref. Good stuff.

Lindros deserves to be in.
- bmeltzer

No doubt about it. He deserves it and then some. He was the best player in the world for a stretch there in the 90s and has been a true hero off the ice with his work on raising concussion awareness.

I've only read Stewart's blog here a few times, but I get the feeling he is an egotistical blowhard who's recollections of past events are heavily skewed by his need to be perceived as macho.

Lindros has to be at the top of the biggest DB's in the history of the NHL.

"So this guy came into camp, and I was all, 'Hey, let's be friends,' and he was all 'Bleep you.' So I took him out back and beat the pants off him, and then took him out to dinner and bought him a house because I'm a nice guy."

We can't all have ties to the Russian mafia, or take a 2-handed swing at a guy's head that causes our city to riot after trying to lynch the NHL president.

is that supposed to deflect the fact about Lindros?

- AGalchenyuk27

Not at all. I just find it funny that a guy comes into this blog trolling about a guy when his entire team's history is not quite peachy at all. Yes, Lindros was a baby during his early years in the league, and has done his best to be a positive influence on the game since he has retired. I don't think you're informing us of anything we don't know. But thanks for playing.

Yep, him and Guy Lafleur...of course, Lindros was a kid and has become a philanthropist and donated tons of time and money to cincussion research & the Make A Wish foundation.

Lafleur remained a douchebag into his later life
