I wondered the same when I saw it.Who the ... is Vaclav Nedomansky????
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.
Ballots are getting weaker and weaker.

Hockey Hall of Fame - 2019 Induction Celebration - Vaclav NedomanskyI wondered the same when I saw it.
Vaclav Nedomansky was a pioneering hockey player who was the first to defect from his Eastern European home to play professionally in North America.
Good player, but hard to argue that this was warranted.
The Patrice Bergeron of his era for those that didn't see him play. Three Stanley Cups and a boatload of Selke trophies.
Still remember the series where he frustrated Peter Stastny so much Stastny almost cracked him over the head with his hockey stick. He stopped himself.

Time to retire #21 while no one on the team is wearing it? (what's Thompson #)

"No"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.
How's your dog, friend?Looking forward to the Habs / Weber hoisting the Habs 25th SCC & Montreal's 40th SCC.
Kinda surprised Carbo got in but congrats.

Carbonneau was more the Lehtinen, John Madden or Mike Peca of his era. In today's game? I'm not sure that such a player exists -- in part, I suspect, because gone are the days of offensive specialists being fundamentally poor defensively which, in turn, necessitated such defensive specialists. Some of that is attributable to teams becoming smarter at deploying their best players, giving them as much ice time as possible, rather than shielding them.
Surprising stats. How did Carbo have? Seemed like he blocked many shots at critical times. Especially in playoffsIf you are 44yrs old, your memory must be slipping Guy doesn't even rank in the NHL's history books for blocked shots, he just appears to be better because we are cheering for the CH.
A great player, I loved watching him in the playoffs.
