[Slobberknocker]

[paddynyc]

Great to see Zuby get into the HOF what a great asest in '94'

[Albatrosss]

but honestly and without bias, is Zubov really a hall of famer?

Look at his numbers. Without a doubt. And a 2 time Cup winner.

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

Who is Vaclav Nedomansky? 421 NHL games in only 7 seasons. Averaged 0.66 p/pg. How is he a HHOF'er?

 

Zuc got a better career lol.

1st eastern european to defect to play in the NHL

Zuc is the first norwegian to score a goal in a stanley cup final. HHOF'er for sure.

Considering back when he defected, you could get killed for doing so, it's a pretty big deal.

so he should be in the Defecters Hall of fame, not hockey. By that logic Mogilny should've been in the hall of fame for dozen of years for being the first Russian to play in the NHL or first Russian professional hockey player to defect to USA. or some shit like that

Very.

[Bugg]

Zubov led the 1994 NYR in regular season scoring, and was 4th in the playoffs. Liked the bite Ulf Samuleson brought, but that trade was a huge mistake.

you're right, numbers are impressive. too bad we didn't see as much of him as dallas did. shame

Tretiak is in too. It's the Hockey Hall of Fame, not the NHL Hall of Fame.

Tretiak got there for his hockey accomplishments, not political

gotta update your Russian history b/c Slava Fetisov was the 1st russian to defect and play in the NHL

not true. Mogilny was in 1989, Fetisov did not defect at all.

[Future]

Mogilny was the first to defect, but Fetisov and his group were probably more influential (and I think first). They both played their first game on 10/5 that season.

Fetisov and the group did not defect. they were "let go" by the Soviet gov't. There's a whole movie on how Fetisov fought the soviet establishment to go play in NA on his terms
