The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other. The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football Hockey and Basketball Lists.
At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next ten of the 2024 Hockey List, which you can comment on and vote on:
The new 71 to 80:
71. Bob Baun
72. Brent Sutter
73. Dale Hunter
74. Don Marshall
75. Eric Desjardins
76. Eddie Shack
77. Adam Foote
78. Stephane Richer
79. Doug Weight
80. Tim Thomas
Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.
Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football, hockey and basketball lists.
Like John LeClair, Eric Desjardins arrived in Philadelphia after winning a Stanley Cup in 1993 with the Montreal Canadiens and he would anchor their defensive corps for years.
A solid two-way defenseman, Eric Desjardins was one of the better players behind the blue line during the 1990s. Desjardins could help stop the puck as well as help put it in the net. He won a Stanley Cup with the Habs in 1993 and upon being traded to Philadelphia he was even more productive. He was easily their best defenseman and was good enough to represent Canada on three World Class National teams. Desjardins was a star, and with 575 career points he could receive a look, but chances are that will be all he will receive.
