I'm on record on HF recently saying people are nuts for placing MAF as a HOF goalie for exactly this reason.With the number of times MAF has lost his starting job or melted down for the Pens in the playoffs you'd think people would have similar qualms, but if he gets in, and the consensus is that he easily will, Bob should absolutely get the same treatment. Hell, Bob is a much better candidate IMO.
Thomas would be in if he wasn't such a nut.
Imagine Roy or Brodeur or Hasek losing their starting position in the playoffs during their prime or being so atrocious that their otherwise star-studded team gets bounced in the 1st round multiple times.
MAF has nice win totals because he's been around forever and also he seems like an awesome dude but as a goalie he's bang average.
