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 postseason 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! - 73.5%

Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 9.4%

Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 5.2%

No opinion. - 0%

No way! - 11.9%
