I'm trying to think of another player in any other sport that has been as successful as Chris Osgood but that no one thinks will make their HoF.

He could win his fourth Stanley Cup this year.

Responses:

vernon would probably like some credit for one of those -- nm - dogbert183 May 31, 19:05 4
- as would the offense. But he's got three rings heading for four is my point. -- nm - Reagen May 31, 19:06 3
  - and as much as I will admit the guy is really good, there are a number of goalies that could have been put in the net for those detroit teams with no - dogbert183 May 31, 19:12 2
    - I was never advocating that he's a HoF goalie - in fact the opposite. - Reagen May 31, 19:15 1
      - I'm sorry, I completely misread what you were saying. with the clarification I agree, it will be very odd -- nm - dogbert183 May 31, 19:17
How about Kevin Lowe? 7 All Star games and 5 Stanley Cups. No HoF -- nm - Subversive May 31, 18:37 2
- I, of course, think he should be in. :) -- nm - Reagen May 31, 18:41
- Sorry, 6 Cups. -- nm - Subversive May 31, 18:39
People argue whether Kurt Warner will get in at this point. - Redmond May 31, 18:30 4
- There's an interesting comparison there in that Osgood was run out of Detroit for a couple seasons. -- nm - Reagen May 31, 18:37
- Terrel Davis is another one. -- nm - Redmond May 31, 18:30 2
  - Priest holmes. -- nm - tRuMaN May 31, 18:33 1
    - If TD ain't in; Priest should have zero shot. Too short and not enough rings. -- nm - Will Hunting May 31, 18:39
ben rothlisberger. -- nm - tRuMaN May 31, 18:28 11
- he's a lock already -- nm - dug May 31, 18:30 10
  - his stats are horrendous, what makes him a lock? - tRuMaN May 31, 18:33 9
    - Horrible stats? His QB rating is annually 95+ - Will Hunting May 31, 18:37 1
      - Sorry, his avg career rating is 89.9 or something; the only bad year was the one he blocked a windshield with his face. - Will Hunting May 31, 18:40
    - How many are QBs, though? Right now, I think he's got a pretty decent chance of getting in. - David May 31, 18:36 6
      - Is Mark Ripien in the Hall? -- nm - Redmond May 31, 18:41 4
        
        No chance, he had 1 glorious year; 1 other Pro-Bowl year; and then nothing. -- nm - Will Hunting May 31, 18:42 3
        
        Ahh thought he was better. I must just be remembering his Superbowl Year -- nm - Redmond May 31, 18:44 2
        
        i think someone must have jumped into his body that game, like Heaven Can Wait -- nm - dug May 31, 18:59 1
        
        Thanks Eag -- nm - Redmond May 31, 19:03
      - no idea, though I could point to Warner. -- nm - tRuMaN May 31, 18:37
he WILL win....Crosby has no chance -- nm - J May 31, 18:27 1
- at least until the Penguins get someone to play defence for them. -- nm - Reagen May 31, 18:28
Robert Horry. -- nm - David May 31, 18:25 11
- alonzo mourning. -- nm - tRuMaN May 31, 18:43 3
  - Has he ever won a ring? I didn't think so. -- nm - David May 31, 18:53 2
    - didnt he win one with the Heat? -- nm - tRuMaN May 31, 18:55 1
      - I am right. he one a ring with the heat, as a backup/forward with shaq and d-wade - tRuMaN May 31, 18:56
- That's a pretty good one. -- nm - Reagen May 31, 18:26 6
  - He's more of a role player than Osgood, though. Jeff Bagwell is probably a good baseball equivalent. -- nm - David May 31, 18:29 5
    - I think the roid whispers hurt Bagwell though. Baseball players during the 90s are a whole different animal at this point. - Redmond May 31, 18:37
    - I think Bagwell has a better chance of getting in than Osgood, though. -- nm - Subversive May 31, 18:35
    - (But with zero rings.) - David May 31, 18:29 2
      - Bernie Williams? -- nm - Will Hunting May 31, 18:39 1
        
        That's a really good one. He's a 5-time All-Star with a lot of rings. - David May 31, 18:47

I'm trying to think of another player in any other sport that has been as successful as Chris Osgood but that no one thinks will make their HoF.
