Does Rod Brind'Amour deserve to be in the Hockey Hall of Fame?
Brind'Amour, as noted above, retired from playing for the Hurricanes, but will continue with the team in a front office position. He won the Selke Award as the best defensive forward two years in a row (2006 and 2007) but then he started to slide downward, and ended the 2009 season with a +/- of -29 and a career +/- of -39, (not a Hall of Fame stat, I don't think. ) The only other award that he won during his NHL career was the Bobby Clarke Trophy in 1992 which is presented to the Philadelphia Flyers most valuable player as determined by local sportscasters and writers.
Even though he was the Captain on the Hurricanes' Stanley Cup winning team, I don't think this qualifies him for the Hall of Fame. Although his stats are notable, I'm not sure that he is Hall of Fame material. I think Jeremy Roenick is more deserving of that honor than Brind'Amour.
The number of former NHL stars eligible for the 2013 Hockey Hall of Fame class is quite impressive, which means a few great players will be forced to wait another year to be inducted. Selecting four players from this group of NHL legends will be very difficult for the Hall of Fame's selection committee. Let's look at three players sure to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2013 (up to four players can be selected every year).
Feel free to share your class of four players in the comments section below. Shanahan was arguably the biggest snub from this year's class, and it's highly unlikely that the committee will not select him for the 2013 group. After nine quality seasons with the New Jersey Devils, St. Louis Blues and Hartford Whalers, Shanahan was traded from Hartford to the Detroit Red Wings in 1997, where he would really start to build a Hall of Fame resume.
Shanahan had seven 30-plus goal seasons with the Red Wings, and played a major role on three Stanley Cup championship teams in Hockeytown (1997, 1998 and 2002). He was one of the best power forwards of his era and racked up 1,354 points (656 goals and 698 assists) in 1,524 games from 1987 through 2009. Shanahan is also the sole member of the 600-goal, 2,000 PIM club.
Shanahan is currently the head disciplinarian for the NHL's Department of Player Safety, and should receive the recognition he deserves next year. Scott Niedermayer is one of the best defenseman of the last 25 years and was a model of consistency for the New Jersey Devils and Anaheim Ducks. The four-time Stanley Cup champion (three with the Devils, one with the Ducks) was an elite two-way defenseman who scored a lot of points while also playing strong defense.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
