Sergei Makarov

If you go by just totals in the NHL, you wouldn’t think that a total of 384 points over seven seasons equates to a Hall of Fame career. However, in the case of Sergei Makarov his professional career did not start until he was thirty one years old. Prior to that, Makarov was one of the most dynamic forces for the Soviet Union; the nation that scared the world on the ice and off. Makarov was part of the feared KLM line (with Igor Larinov & Vladimir Krutov) which was considered the best line in International hockey.

25. Curtis Joseph

If you think about statistical enigmas, Curtis Joseph would top our list.  As we have yet to rank that category, we are struggling to find the right place to rank him on the list that we actually do.

7. Don Cherry

On paper, how is it possible that a hockey player who logged only one game in the NHL and is best remembered as a coach for a too many men on the ice call that cost his Boston Bruins a chance at a Stanley Cup birth possibly enter the Hockey Hall of fame?. Well, when that former player and coach is Don Cherry; who may be very well be the most well known man in hockey north of the border.

270. Tammi Terrell

The career of Tammi Terrell was just getting started when she literally collapsed on stage into Marvin Gaye’s arms. Terrell would pass away at the age of 24 to a brain tumor but not before she and Marvin Gaye would record some of the most beautiful love songs recorded. As Gaye is already long since in the Hall, Terrell is a long shot especially since she did very little on her own, but everyone loves a good story so an induction for Tammi Terrell is not completely impossible.
