Awesome, Pavs deserves the recognition.

 

[DoMakc]

No Zetterberg

 

[norrisnick]

Deserved, but less so than another eligible Wing.

 

[minimal]

Beautiful, was worried they'd snub him over geopolitics. Add one more to the 2002 team.

 

[Henkka]

Best player of his era.

 

[eojsmada]

Missed their chance to put Zetterberg in with Datsyuk. Could have easily waited a year for Weber.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Best player of his era.

The very first advanced stats boss. Him and Lidstrom.

 

[chances14]

Congrats to the Magic Man!

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Congrats to Dats! But the underrating of Zetterberg continues...

 

[Realgud]

Congrats to Datsyuk.

 

[DanielMarois]

Shea Weber? Don't think he was hall of fame worthy

 

[Electric Eric]

Missed their chance to put Zetterberg in with Datsyuk. Could have easily waited a year for Weber.

Weber shouldn’t even be in at all IMO.

 

[Holden Caufield]

Well deserved. So much substance to his game.
Hall of fame caliber player in all zones of the ice!

But they didn’t call him the magic man for nothing… He could fill up a highlight reel unlike anyone else !

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Weber shouldn’t even be in at all IMO.

Especially since he's still "playing" for the Coyotes Utah for two more seasons.

 

[tabness]

Absolutely disgusting they didn't put in Zetterberg AGAIN especially this year to go in with Datsyuk.

Huge congrats to Datsyuk but this pisses me off and somewhat ruins the moment.

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

Especially since he's still "playing" for the Coyotes Utah for two more seasons.

The Shea Weber induction pisses me off almost as much as the Zetterberg snub.

Weber won zero cups, zero Norris awards. What a f***ing joke. A bigger, dumber, uglier version of Brendan Smith.

He did smash Zetterberg's face into the glass, though. After the final horn, after his team had already won the game, and Weber received no penalty of any kind. Maybe that's why the 18 smooth-brains that voted picked Weber.

Rabid antiswedites.

 

[lidstromiscool]

One of the best to ever do it, and perhaps the most entertaining to ever do it.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Very well deserved but no idea how shea Weber makes the hall. Guy has no hardware at all. Zetterberg is far more deserving than that goon.

 

[RedWingzz]

Zetty snubbed...would have been cool to see them go in together

I love Datsyuk though, my favourite player ever, so congrats to him! Glad they left politics out of it, and inducted him based off merit.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Congrats to Pavel, one of my absolute favorites to play the game.

Shame to the voters who didn't use this opportunity to put Zetterberg in. I hate everyone of you who didn't vote Z in.

 

[FMichael]

Awesome to see Dats getting in...Not gonna lie - I'm equally happy to see JR get in too...He's been 1 of my favorite non-Red Wings for years.

 

[RabidBadger]

Weber over Z inspires the same level of nausea I felt watching wankers like Guns & Roses being inducted into the rock HOF before the MC5. Shame on both halls!

Dats is well deserving. Regardless of how he left he is a lynchpin in the Red Wings history.

 

[FMichael]

Deserved, but less so than another eligible Wing.

Absolutely...Osgood has been passed by far too often...It's a shame he didn't get in last year with Vernon...

The reason I fell in love with hockey and will forever be a diehard Red Wings fan

Nobody will ever make me feel the way Datsyuk did watching hockey. I’m so thankful to have watched him
