What does Marchand need to be 1st ballot HHOFer?

[GMR]

He's never even been top 10


One of the Sedin's won a Pearson, but Marchand is somehow more difficult to play against and a better two way threat? Sounds like the players they played against felt otherwise

The Sedins were never great defensively and were not physical. Yes, they were easier to play against than a scrappy player like Marchand who could score and get under opponents' skin. They weren't the most clutch players to be exact.

But hey, they won a trophy one season just like Jamie Benn and Corey Perry.

Patrick Elias isn't currently in.

Marchand would need a hart caliber season or 2 to be 1st ballot

Can't believe 950 points, 1 cup, one 100 point season, and no individual awards of any kind gets you into the hall these days ...

Marchand to me is in the hall of very very good right alongside Toews and Backstrom

1. He won’t finish with 950, he’ll be over 1000

2. He has 3 gold medals, maybe 4

3. Captain of an original 6 team

You can argue how much the last two matter, but undoubtedly it matters to who chooses.

It’s not the NHL HoF

Marchand was 3rd in PPG over like a 4 years stretch while being a two way force and arguably the best PK player in the league…

Not top 10

Probably depends more who else Marchand is up against the year he's eligible.

Marchand's two 5th place Hart Trophy finishes and 4 All Star nods
( more than either Sedin ) would suggest otherwise.

Tim Thomas should get in 100x before that scumbag Marchand even sniffs (or licks) the HOF.

I hate thomas but I agree.

 

[22Brad Park]

Toews has a conn smythe, selke, 2 Olympic gold medals, a few junior championships, and 3 cups. Don’t think he really compares that well to brad or even backstrom.

Well it’s not a hall of how good you are. It’s a hall of fame. Individual awards matter quite a bit.

Marchand does have a lot going for him anyway. I think he might get in eventually but I don’t see him as a first year type of lock.

He has over 400 goals with good chance at 1000 pts plus a Cup and one of best shorthanded players in history.

For those mentioning the sedins?

Their trophy case

Art ross
Clancy
Lindley

The other one?
Art ross
Hart memorial
2 clancey award


Marchand?
Trophy case empty

Until they won awards? I called them the sisters this got me banned from the f***s board

To compare them to marchand? Is an insult to the twins

You know nothing about hockey.Go watch ringette.

Yeah you're right:
1 cup and 1 100 point season>>>>>>>>>1 cup, 1 conn, 2 vezinas

Congrats to the scumbag rat on being a part of NHL history and losing after being up 3-0 in a series....IN THE FINALS.

Marchand should campaign for Thomas because if he didn't will them to that cup, he'd have NOTHING (except his God tier 100 point season LMAO)

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Mentioning character and sportsmanship as reasons Marchand should not get into the HHOF is odd considering who is already in the HHOF. Marchand is a saint compared to some of those players.

Peak Marchand was not only an elite scorer as others have pointed out with stats, but his defensive stats when playing on the same line as Bergeron were filthy during those years. Bergeron/Marchand was one of the elite duos of this century. Much like Bergeron, when you look beyond the simple stats you see a very elite complete player. But, I know, he licked someone so boo hoo.

Yeah well Roenick had over 500 goals and 1200 points and also scored a lot of SHG and it took him quite some time before getting in.

 

[thefutures]

1st ballot lol

Yea we will see but if Guy Carbonneau is there with career high 26 goals then it's a no brainer he is getting in ,1st ballot or not.

Yes, how dare we insult the great Sedins.

I got banned from the canuck board for bashing them... I am an oiler fan so saying nice things about canuck players? It is hard

 

[RI.B FAN]

A solid punch right between the eyes.

You just keep on loving your buddy Matthews, he will get you nothing

And Marchand won no trophies any season like Raffi Torres and Cal Clutterbuck

A cup and 3 gold medals is a pretty damn good resume. Especially when he might add a 4th.

There’s so much denial in here about Marchand getting into the hall

Don`t worry. Jacobs lobby didnt allow to drop him off with HHOF

 

[Score08]

Not only is he getting in but Jack Edwards will MC the event just to piss off the candy ass babies on hf boards .

[Zalos]

I think he's questionable to get in the HHoF, but personally I'd get him in eventually.
