Wow that dude has played for a long time. I always respected that player and I wish I would have been able to watch him play more but you know how that West coast stuff goes. I remember he had to have both shoulder operated because he hit so hard with them, so then he started throwing hip checks out like it was the 1st of the month. Great open ice hitter, great talent, big, mobile, strong as an ox, just a rock solid all around player and one who I hope is going into the HoF. He deserves it! |

He deserves it! a yahoo poster seems to think we is not HOF material.....he has a point here..... Doug Wilson, who played most of his career in Chicago, played only 16 seasons, amassed 827 points and retired with a +53 plus / minus ratio and was never inducted into the HOF. What makes Blake so special that he is expected to be inducted? Blake did not score as many points as Wilson despite playing more games, [color=#FF0000]his plus / minus is a negative 4. Here is a list of HOF defensemen and this vital stat: Bobby Orr +484 Ray Bourque +528 Paul Coffey +294 Scott Stevens +393 Larry Robinson +730 Brad Park +358 Denis Potvin +460 Al MacInnis +373 Tim Horton +81 Rod Langway +277[/color] |

I'm pretty sure that there are more than 10 defense men in the Hof and +/- is a pretty vague statistic although it does present some meaning. Wilson should be in there, he had one of the heaviest shots I've ever seen, Blake should go in right after him. Makes me wonder who else they are keeping out of the HoF? |

+/- from season to season can be a bit of a vague statistic, as the team around the player can be pretty poor, low scoring, etc. However, when it comes to a player's entire career it becomes telling, especially for defenders. |

True, but then again, if you're always against top line offensive players and you are only a -4 is still good, especially being on the Kings team in 06-07 and 07-08, and on the Kings team after Gretzky left also. Those were his worst +/- stat, and that stat is skewed too much. |
