Chris Chelios - as big a no-brainer as there can be
Brendan Shanahan - ditto
Scott Neidermayer - possibly even more ditto than the others
Fred Shero - I don't get this one so much. True, he did win a couple cups and that's strong, but his body of work is small to go in with the all-time best. I would not have voted for him but then I am always a much tougher voter than the traditionally soft touches at the HHOF. Why now though?
Geraldine Heaney - Nothing against her personally but I disagree with the induction of any women. They do not come close to meeting an equal standard to the men. Let them have their own Hall of Fame. The men are competing with a tough worldwide field. There have only ever been 2 countries competitive in womens. I just consider it a completely different thing that should not be treated equally. Unless countries start getting more interested, it has no business being in the Olympics either. I'm glad to have the guaranteed medal every time but in principle, no.
