It is a pretty big day for us at Notinhalloffame.com as we are unveiling our new Notinhalloffame Hockey List of those to consider for the Hockey Hall of Fame.  

However, this is not just any list, as we have expanded it to 300!

First, off we know what you might be thinking;

“There is no way that any of those players from ___ to 300 will get into the Hall of Fame.”.

We agree.  It isn’t likely to happen.  Obviously, we love lists, and that is, and always will be, the crux of what we do.  Think of them as a great batch of players, all of which were damned good and any bottom 25 of whomever is on our 300 (providing there is a Goalie there) could win a Stanley Cup.  

Let’s move on…

We have not just added new entries up to 300, but retooled those that were already listed.

The first thing we did was remove the four former players who were inducted into the Class of 2020.  That consisted of Jarome Iginla (#1), Marion Hossa (#10), Doug Wilson (#14) and Kevin Lowe (#37).  

We then added the new entries who are now eligible for the Class of 2021.  Afterwards, we altered rankings based on your comments and votes.

Before we continue, please note that the Hockey Hall of Fame recently announced that due to the pandemic, they have pushed back the Class of 2020 ceremony to November of next year.  Hall of Fame Chairman, Lanny McDonald said that there might be a dual ceremony with the Class of 2021, or that the 2021 Class might not happen at all.  We certainly are praying that the latter is not the case.

Please note that we do not currently rank women, coaches or builders, although we do have Don Cherry listed.  That is our only exception, which is grandfathered in.

The entire list can be found here, but here is the revised top ten:

1.Henrik Sedin:  Sedin tops the 2021 list, and the career Vancouver Canuck is a former Hart Trophy winner, which usually means you are entering the Hall. If you don’t go by that, he is also a former Art Ross Trophy winner, and every eligible Art Ross winner are in Toronto.

2. Daniel Sedin:  The twin brother of Henrik also played his entire NHL career with the Canucks, but he is not a Hart winner.  That shouldn’t matter as his accolades include an Art Ross (see above), and he won the Ted Lindsay Award.  The Sedins are also Olympic Gold Medalists for Sweden.

3. Alexander Mogilny: The Russian has been eligible since 2009 and was once #1 on our list.  Mogilny, who led the NHL in Goals in 1993, was ranked second number two.

4. Theoren Fleury:  Dropping from #3, Fleury won the Stanley Cup with Calgary in 1989 and the Gold Medal with Canada in 2002.  He is a seven-time All-Star.

5. Daniel Alfredsson: Alfredsson remains at #5, and is one of three Swedish players in the top five.  Playing mostly with the Ottawa Senators, Alfredsson is a six-time All-Star and Olympic Gold Medalist with Sweden in 2006.

6. Don Cherry:  Cherry drops from #4, and at one time he was ranked #1 on our list.  It has not been a good twelve months for Cherry, as he was fired from Sportsnet for what was deemed racist comments.  As mentioned above, Cherry is the lone exception to our rule about ranking coaches/builders in our core lists.

7. Jeremy Roenick:  You could say that Jeremy Roenick had the same year as Cherry, as the acerbic American lost his job with NBC due to sexist comments on a podcast. That does not affect his on-ice accomplishments, which were nine All-Stars and 1,200 Points.  He moves up from #8.

8. Pierre Turgeon:  Turgeon drops from #6, and he has 1,327 career Points and was a four-time All-Star.

9. John LeClair:  LeClair holds on to his number nine slot, and he was chosen for two First Team All-Stars and three Second Team All-Stars.  LeClair accomplished this with Philadelphia and he was a Stanley Cup Champion with the Montreal Canadiens.

10. Bernie Nicholls:  Nicholls drops three spots and concludes our top ten.  He is a three-time All-Star with over 1,200 NHL Points.

There are other significant debuts to our list.  

Swedish Center, Henrik Zetterberg is at #29.  He played his entire NHL career with the Detroit Red Wings, and he is a member of the Triple Gold Club.  Just behind him is Rick Nash who makes his first appearance at #30. Nash was a two-time All-Star and a two-time Gold Medal winner with Canada.  Three-time Stanley Cup Champion,Patrick Sharp, debuts at #75.  Scott Hartnell comes in at #106.

You know what we want you to do!

Take a. look and cast your votes and offer your opinions.

As always, we thank you for your support.

The Country Music Hall of Fame has announced the Country Music Hall of Fame Class of 2020, which will include one Veteran Era Artist, Hank Williams Jr., one Modern Era Artist, Marty Stuart, and one Songwriter, Dean Dillon.

Hank Williams Jr. is the son of legendary county artist, Hank Williams, who himself was inducted into the Country Music Hall nearly 60 years ago.  Williams Jr. had been performing for years, arguably gaining attention based on his name, but it was in the mid-70s when a stylistic change to a more rowdy and rock based country that propelled him to the top of the country charts.  He has eight number one singles on the country charts.

Marty Stuart has been active since 1968 and he has had 30 songs that made the Country charts.  The native of Philadelphia, Mississippi, never went number one, but did have a number two hit with “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’”, a duet with Travis Tritt.

Dean Dillon was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002, and in addition to his own songs, he has written many hits for George Strait.  His biggest song, “Tennessee Whiskey” was covered by many artists.  

Notably the Songwriter category is only in place every three years.  It rotates between Non-Performers and Recording and/or Touring Musicians.  

The Class of 2020 will be inducted later this year, but do the pandemic, there is not date or location announced at this time.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the Country Music Hall of Fame Class of 2020.

Top Films Based on Video Games

The film industry has undergone many transformations over the past few decades. Video game films started gaining popularity in 1993 after Hollywood produced a film that was based on Super Mario Bros. Video game sales reached US$30.4 billion in 2016, according to the Entertainment Software Association. Hollywood has been trying to adapt renowned video games into movies to increase its sales. The following are the eight top films based on video games.

1.   Double Dragon (1994)

Double Dragon is a unique video game adaptation whose budget resembled that of a blockbuster. The film is entertaining and fun to watch. You will feel the crew and cast as they make their contribution in the movie.

2.   Mortal Kombat (1995)

Gamers who like playing arcade games enjoy watching Mortal Kombat. It has the sensibility of Mortal Kombat games. Christopher Lambert and other actors make the film interesting to watch. It entails heavy-metal battles.

3.   Computer Chess (2013)

Some movie enthusiasts claim that Computer Chess isn't a video game film. It is more entertaining than many triple-A video games. The film is suitable for chess lovers. It entails computers that are playing chess with one another. The chess programming competition in Computer Chess resembles the Super Showball gameplay found in many online casinos. Those who take part in the tournament go to a hotel and gradually increase their experience in chess. Computer Chess is intelligent and touching.

4.   Doom (2005)

Doom was one of The Rock's first films to act before he became an action star. The film has a great visual aesthetic and has a first-person shooter sequence at the end. Characters in Doom are one-dimensional and it has a ridiculous plot.

5.   Final Fantasy VII Advent Children (Nomura/Nozue, 2005)

The film is entertaining and it has great visuals. But, its characters and narrative might confuse you in certain scenes. Final Fantasy VII is a real reflection of the Final Fantasy VII video game.

6.   Silent Hill (2006)

Christophe Gans directed Silent Hill. It features Radha Mitchell, Alice Krige, Laurie Holden, and Sean Bean. The film is atmospheric and scary. It is suitable to watch at night. Besides Silent Hill, Christophe also directed the Brotherhood Of The Wolf.

7.   Resident Evil:Retribution (2012)

The Resident Evil series has made millions of sales since the early 2000s. Resident Evil:Retribution features Milla Jovovich with a tight leather outfit. She punches, shoots and kicks as she passes through undead humanity. Retribution is more exciting than Afterlife and Extinction.

8.   Tomb Raider (2018)

Roar Uthaug directed Tomb Raider while Alastair Siddons and Geneva Robertson-Dworet developed its screenplay. Warner Bros. Studios shot the film in Cape Town, South Africa, and Hertfordshire, England in 2017. The movie is based on the Tomb Raider video game. Alicia Vikander acts as Lara Croft and goes on a risky journey to the last-known destination of her father. Many movie fans praised Tomb Raider for its action sequences, grittiness, and tone.

There are different types of films such as action, comedy, horror, sports, romance, and video game films. Double Dragon, Mortal Kombat, Computer Chess, Doom, Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, Silent Hill, Resident Evil:Retribution, and Tomb Raider are the best video game movies. They are charismatic and fascinating. Also, people of all ages can watch these films.

COVID-19 strikes again, as the Hockey Hall of Fame has postponed the Hockey Hall of Fame Ceremony to celebrate the Class of 2020.  

Originally scheduled for November 16 in Toronto, the Class consists of Jarome Iginla, Marian Hossa, Doug Wilson, Kevin Lowe, Kim St. Pierre and Ken Holland.  

Hockey Hall of Fame chairman (and Hall of Famer himself), Lanny McDonald said that there would be no virtual ceremony, and that the most likely scenario would be postpone the ceremony to November of 2021, either by waiving the 2021 election or combining the 2020 and 2021 classes.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com hopes that they will opt for two classes.

Actually, we are begging them to do it!
