I do think this means that Ozzy will get in eventually. Might take another 10 years, but he will get his call

The good news is because he’s better than many this year, and they waited so long on Vernon, he’ll be in eventually

The biggest reason for Vernon over Osgood is that he had more non NHL achievements.

It must be the lack of a Smythe trophy holding him back

Osgood needs a black and white picture to get in
digitalUID
As soon as I saw Vernon inducted, I figured this would ignite this debate. I agree, if Vernon is in, then Ozzie should be in it.

The stats also need a line for kicked Patrick Roy’s ass: 1:1

The only real argument against Ozzy is that he was on phenomenal teams, so his numbers are inflated.
But that also means that Glenn Anderson and Jari Kurri have no business being in the Hall.

He should already be in. He started in net for two Stanley Cup wins 10 years apart – first goaltender since Terry Sawchuk to win Stanley Cups ten years or more apart as a starter. He’s 13th all-time in wins, 8th in playoff wins. And he beat up Patrick Roy.

Next year better be the Red Wings year at the HoF
Ozzie and the Euro Twins

Now we know how much weight to give a Conn Smythe.

Ozziecontinues to get hosed … because he played on a good team

If I recall correctly, Vernon was in net for two cup finals series victories and Osgood only one.

I thought Osgood wasn’t eligible for HHOF yet?

Yeah I’m mad Ozzie didn’t get in yet. But I loved Vernon too. They both deserve to be in.

Goals for oughta be considered as well

I don’t think there’s a huge debate per se.
Really, I think the HOF needs to loosen their belt when it comes to goaltenders. There’s a lot that should be in but aren’t.

I’m mad Zett got snubbed

Vernon got in because his buddy Lanny is the head of the HHOF and won a cup with him in Calgary. Old boys club…

What about most goals?

Ozzy would’ve won the Smythe in 09 and wasn’t a bad candidate in 08 either
RiderMayBail
being as it appears that the better stat is shaded green and bold text, why is Vernon noted as the better stat for goals against?

Osgood probably has that many years to wait too. Neither are shoo-ins, but are still deserving. Ozzie’s time will come
