35. Chris Osgood
A somewhat disrespected goaltender, Chris Osgood won three Stanley Cup Rings without anyone really saying that he was among the elite in his position. Granted, he played with a loaded Red Wings team, but he still backstopped the team to victory after victory.

Considering his own country never named him to a National team in a major international tournament and he only had two All-Star games (with no post-season All-Star nods), the direction that the Hall of Fame committee is far from obvious.

Should Chris Osgood be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in! - 73.8%
Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 9.5%
Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 5.2%
No opinion. - 0%
No way! - 11.5%
