U.S. women's players (don't fucking care) ... executives Colin Campbell and David Poile, will also go into the hall. FUCKING ILLITERATE TWATS Former Montreal Canadiens captain Shea Weber (not deserving) and Detroit Red Wings winger Pavel Datsyuk, a two-time Stanley Cup champion, were elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility, while Jeremy Roenick (not deserving) is going into the hall after being eligible for more than a decade. They are part of the seven-member class of 2024, the first to include two women’s don't fucking care. It’s the first class with ... blah blah blah, more chick shit. Long time executives Colin Campbell and David Poile were chosen in the builder category. Roenick’s 1,216 points with Chicago, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Jose are fourth most of any U.S.-born player. He has been eligible since 2012 and passed over each year since (deservedly). Weber, who led the Canadiens to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2021, hasn’t played since. His contract was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, then to the Arizona Coyotes. He still has two seasons left on a 14-year contract Poile signed him to in 2012 with the Nashville Predators, though he has effectively retired from the game. Lance Hornby TORONTO SCUM The Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee went off script Tuesday.
In announcing the induction of five players, two of them American females, the 18 members reached around perceived reluctance to recognise Russians in these turbulent geo-political times by choosing the very-qualified Pavel Datsyuk while adding hot-potato pick Jeremy Roenick. Datsyuk, the Detroit Red Wings’s Cup winner and international star, joined fellow first-year eligible Shea Weber, a well-established Canadian defenceman. In the builder category, retired David Poile, who won more games than any NHL general manager before leaving the Nashville Predators a year ago, was named, along with former player and league executive Colin Campbell, who worked in many levels such as discipline and hockey operations. No one can argue against the highly decorated Datsyuk, but when the 1,000-point scorer Alex Mogilny (WTF!!!) was not among those picked last year, it was thought the Hall was mirroring the isolation of Russia on the world sports stage and Datsyuk might join him in limbo. There was a chance that Ilya Kovalchuk (not deserving), in his first year, would have got some support on Tuesday, too. Roenick had 500-plus goals, but it was believed his controversial comments both during his playing days and as a media commentator in the 15 years since he retired were being held against him. Mike Gartner, chairman of the committee, mentioned that he was a team mate of Roenick in Phoenix and extolled his on-ice virtues on TSN after the announcement. To be inducted, nominees needed 14-of-18 votes from a member who had to bring their name up for debate. Winger Mogilny, netminder Curtis Joseph (wank) and forward Keith Tkachuk (wank) were among those snubbed again. Blah, blah, blah ... girl stuff.
