Hockey Hall of Fame Standards?
I don't think numbers should be the defining criteria. I believe it has more to do with a player's contribution to the game in a positive light that had maximum effect. If a guy made the fans stand and cheer for 10 years only to suffer a career ending injury he may be one to be considered IF he did something that added fame to the game. It is under this criteria I feel Paul Henderson's contribution during the 1972 Summit Series needs to be fully recognized with an induction into the HHOF. His goal in game 8 is one of hockey's most famous moments. His type of contribution to the game (not the NHL) is mive when looked at in this light and so we need to think outside the NHL box to remember it's the Hockey Hall of Fame, not the NHL hall of fame.
