Like Carbo but Bergeron is way better offensively than him. Bergeron will have more than 1000 points and might be the all time best two-way forward of all time.
What about Gainey's 47 points...Career high : 68 points

Honestly, I'm pretty good with my hockey trivia usually, but I somehow took for granted he was a HOFer. Well deserved. One of my favorite players growing.Well deserved in my opinion. Just a great hockey player. Best defensive forward of his generation.
Carbonneau was a different kind of player though. He was a great player but not for his scoring.No, his career high was 57 points.
Carbo was a little over 0.5 PPG for his career, most of which was played in a high scoring era. Only the end of his career was in the dead puck era. Amazing defensive forward but this just shows how low the HOF standards are.
So what’s missing.....3 cups, 3 Selke, 1300 gp ?
No offence I’m just curious......how about Patrice Bergeron when he’s done?
Why are people against his induction? Really? It's ridiculous. You should be happy for him, he was a great Hab.
Career high : 68 points
He was better offensively than Markov imo, but I think they're pretty equal in overall impact.Zubov got in too ? Thats iffy... He never even won a norris, has only one AS-2... He's on the same level as Markov, if you ask me.
Is he that much better offensively that he gets a HOF nom over Markov and Markov isn't even in that realm ? Quite ridiculous IMO.He was better offensively than Markov imo, but I think they're pretty equal in overall impact.
Yes Carbo was special, one of the best ever. I remember prime Lemieux having to play against Carbo only to get goose eggs while he would tear up all the other teams in the league. Carbo seemed to score more while playing against the other teams best players, he would feed off of their mistakes.He was VERY clutch, on both ends of the ice.
Gainey's rightful heir. We've had Plekanec and Danault playing good 2-way hockey since but Gainey & Carbo were the best at their style of hockey.
I love him, he just isn't good enough. Nothing against him or the Habs.
Roy had it easy on penalty kills. You had Carbo and Ludwig sometimes with more blocked shots in a game than Roy had saves.By far the best player in history for blocking shots. His technique was perfect. I am 44 years old and I have seen Carbo's prime and no one today is as good as him for blocking shots,,,no one
Carbo would shutdown Mario Lemieux every time they competed against each other. Mario would of shredded Patrice Bergeron. I think the people that say he is not HOF never really saw him play. If Montreal got the lead they would rarely every gave it back, as Carbo would see his minutes rise to keep that lead.Carbo was never about points. He frustrated Peter Stastny so much he almost took Carbo's head off with a baseball type swing before stopping himself. He was a shut down guy in a era before zones and neutral zone traps. It was man to man. He shut down Gretzky in the 93 Stanley Cup finals and was a tremendous leader on that team. He was a Bergeron/ROR type of that era. Competitive, gutsy player.
3 Selkes, 3 Stanley Cups, a well deserved nomination.
Roy was a fantastic goalie. But there's no doubt he was extremely blessed with the teams he had in front of him.Roy had it easy on penalty kills. You had Carbo and Ludwig sometimes with more blocked shots in a game than Roy had saves.
Anecdotal, but he seemed to score big goals.
I remember once in the waning moments of a series victory against the Nords, Peter Stastny took a gratuitous shot at him. His frustration boiled over. Carbo just laughed in his face.
One of my recollections old him was in the midst of the 1993 celebration, he quietly mentioned that the team had lost Claude Mouton that year, and they were missing him. It wasn’t PR, it was sincere and impromptu.
Trading him was the watershed moment where brand started to trump hockey.
