Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022/23 revision of our top 50 Detroit Red Wings.

As for all of our top 50 players in hockey we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Detroit failed to make the playoffs, but one player did enough to crack the top ten of this Original Six team.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Gordie Howe

2. Nicklas Lidstrom

3. Steve Yzerman

4. Terry Sawchuk

5. Ted Lindsay

You can find the entire list here.

Three-time All-Star, Dylan Larkin is the only new entry, and the Forward comes in at #40.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

As for all of our top 50 players in basketball we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Dallas had an excellent season, and made it to the Western Conference Final.  The year generated three new entries and multiple elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which had a new number five.:

1. Mike Modano

2. Sergei Zubov

3. Jamie Benn

4. Marty Turco

5. Tyler Seguin

You can find the entire list here.

Notably, Benn was unable to surpass Zubov for the #2 spot, and remains at #3.

Seguin made it to the top five, after being ranked #7 last year.

Defenseman, Miro Heiskanen, rocketed to #33 from #49. 

Another Defenseman, Esa Lindell, moved up five spots to #40.

The highest of the three debuts is Left Wing, Jason Robertson, who was a First Team All-Star last season.  He enters at #37.

Fellow Left Wing, Roope Hintz, makes his first appearance on the list at #42.

Veteran Center, Joe Pavelski, debuts at #45.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

This is not the first time that we have heard this from a musical icon.

Cher, 77, was a guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show yesterday, and when the topic of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame came up, she did not hold back.

“You know what, I wouldn’t be in now if they gave me a million dollars.  I’m never going to change my mind.  They can just go you-know-what themselves.”

No ambiguity there.

With the recent ousting of Jann Wenner amidst his controversial comments about women in rock, Cher’s candidacy for a Rock Hall of Fame nomination is strong, and the Hall have nominated people in the past who said they would not go in.

As always, this remains one of the most toxic Halls of Fames in the world.

1953 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS:

Thank you for all of you who have participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project, and if you are unaware of what that is, simply, we acted as if the PFHOF had their first class in January of 1946?

We have completed the first two years, where a Preliminary, Semi-Final and Final vote for the 1946 Class, which inducted two full classes

For “1950” a Preliminary Vote with over 130 players whose playing career ended by 1943. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, with the top 25 vote getters named as Semi-Finalists.

A week later, the voters were asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next week, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year.

30 Votes took place, with the top five advancing.

This is for the “Modern Era”
