CMICHdave 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2010 While watching Game 5 of the '02 finals, it's amazing the number of future hall of famers were on this team. Shanny, Fedorov, Yzerman, Datsyuk, Hull, Robitallie, Larionov, Holmstrom, Lidstrom, Chelios, Hasek. But what about Homer? His numbers seem a little low, but he's certainly a unique player and the best at what he does. Add in has name on four Cups, three where he was a part of the playoff team. Thoughts?

SuperCalaFilppulastic! 34 Report post Posted August 12, 2010 Maybe some sort of Red Wings HOF for having such a unique role on the team. No way he ever gets close to the HHOF. 1 Jamessss reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted August 12, 2010 Is this thread for real? Holmstrom has no chance for the Hall of Fame. I have a better chance of hooking up with some famous moviestar than he has of making it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted August 12, 2010 No way in hell. Love Homer and he will always have a special place with us here in Hockeytown but not a shot. 1 stevkrause reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaman 713 Report post Posted August 12, 2010 Not even close, if there was a role players hall of fame he'd be a lock, but, other than his niche as a screener/deflector/PP specialist he really has nothing hall of fame worthy. I love homer as a player, but lets be realistic, hes just not in the tier of players who get in, hell hes not even in the tier next to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted August 12, 2010 He's made a great career for himself having fairly limited skills. So he worked really hard and developed an incredibly specific skill set. Redirecting the puck while keeping your ass in the goalies face and getting hacked at by a defenseman. He's been a great Wing, but not a HOF'er. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingsnut25 10 Report post Posted August 12, 2010 While the answer is No, he is the absolute best at what he does, and has been the best for most of his career in the N.H.L. But we don't see anyone getting in because they were the best fighter, or for being the fastest skater year after year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrie 900 Report post Posted August 12, 2010 Well I guess to stick up for CMICHdave, the NHL HOF standards are so low that they're debating if Paul Henderson should be in! Holmstrom has slightly less regular season numbers than Paul, but much better post season numbers! Here's a comparison between Henderson and Holmstrom: Paul Henderson Tomas Holmstrom Still though, the answer is "no" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted August 12, 2010 I love Homer. Homer is awesome. We're better with Homer than we are without him, IMO. He is not a hall-of-famer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted August 12, 2010 So, who are the 8 nut jobs who voted yes? I love Homer, but he isnt close to HOF status. Crosby and Ovechkin have more points then him in just 5 seasons... as much as I hate using those assclowns to make a point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buppy 1,720 Report post Posted August 12, 2010 Maybe I'm an optimist, but I fully expect Homer to average 40 goals and 75 points for the next 7 years. Of course, he STILL wouldn't get in, but at least a thread like this would be justifiable then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
