All joking aside, respect to Jeff Carter's HOF career and it's special that we got to see him in a Penguins jersey. He was an absolute rockstar in his 1st year with the team. His retirement came at a perfect time for him and the team. Good luck in retirement #77.
@nhlpens On what planet is Jeff Carter going to make the Hall of Fame?
@PensChronicles @nhlpens On the planet that he's a 2x cup winner, silver and gold medal world junior winner, gold medal olympic winner. Oh wait a minute, that's this planet! He's not going to be a first ballet, but he'll get in the hall of fame
@jbartnicki57 @PensChronicles @nhlpens Yeah...but this is sort of Theo Fleury's resume isn't it? He's got a Cup, an Olympic gold and a junior gold. But look at the individual stats: Carter: 1,321 GP, 442-409-851 Fleury: 1,084 GP, 455-633-1,088 I think a guy like Fleury, or Alex Mogilny are ahead of him
@parentingonwhls @PensChronicles @nhlpens Yeah and its kind of insane how those guys aren't in yet. Like i said Carter won't be a first ballot but he will get in
@jbartnicki57 @parentingonwhls @nhlpens Only four get in per year. Do you know how long it will take to get to Jeff Carter?
@PensChronicles @parentingonwhls @nhlpens No i don't know how long it'll take but i keep saying he's not going to be a first ballot inductee. Some guys wait 15, 20, even 25 years to get in, Carter will probably have to wait that long but he is a future hall of famer
@jbartnicki57 @parentingonwhls @nhlpens No, he’s not.
@PensChronicles @jbartnicki57 @parentingonwhls @nhlpens If you think Jeff Carter is a hall of famer then you are insane. Carter being in the hall of fame is like Alexei Morozov being in, Alexei Kovalev isnt even in and he is way way way way way way way way way more deserving than Carter
@HockeyGuy66871 @PensChronicles @jbartnicki57 @nhlpens Yeah, I mean, there's really no shortage of forwards with between 400-500 goals, 800-1200 points, and a Cup/medal who we could get to. Verbeek, Larmer, Bellows, Tocchet, Roberts, Damphousse...Carter didn't have a super exceptional career
