When hockey reference has your top 5 players comparisons are hall of famers. You belong in the hall of fame.

he should be a hall of famer. my all time favorite blues player.

One of the most underrated NHL players

The real question is, what if Dale Hunter wasn't a gigantic piece of garbage? Maybe Pierre has another half dozen healthy seasons?

Imagine if he signed in Detroit in 01-02, he'd probably be in the Hall of Fame by now.

Pierre Turgeon was smooth as ice on the ice. It was like art watching him play.

Boy, that 92-93 season was insane. One of if not the highest scoring season of all time.

Definitely Hall of famer! I don't understand how can anyone even question that.. one of the greatest playmakers ever! Period!

I think the stats are there... and i also think that his stats were reached within mediocre teams and a player should always be evaluated in a context

My favorite player growing up.

Hard to win awards playing in an era with Gretzky and Lemieux

1327 points with 500 plus goals including playing in some of the clutch and grab years. Hall of Famer for sure.

For sure Turgeon a HOFer. I could be biased cause he was my favorite player on the blues in late 90s but the numbers are there so I hope he gets in.

Think he should get in for sure. When he was a blue was my favorite player. He had develop a great chemistry with Scott young by the time they went to 2001 conf finals on the top line. I think not resigning him cost the blues a real shot at 2002 cup. Biggest mis take blues made during late 90s and early 2000s other than trading pronger

My favorite player growing up, even before he came to the Islanders from Buffalo. I wish they'd held on to him instead of dealing him away. A gentleman player.

A Hall of Famer. Had one of the most spectacular seasons in Islanders history often on a line with Steve Thomas and Benoit Hogue or Derek King. However, even with Arbour coaching, a disappointing W-L record for a team with other good players like Ray Ferraro, Pat Flatley, Uwe Krupp, Vladimir Malakhov, Travis Green, Darius Kasparaitis and Glenn Healy. The HOF to a large extent is about winning Stanley Cups for players with borderline stats.

Pierre Turgeon 2023 Hockey Hall of Fame Inductee!

Just picked his Blues jersey up for 15$ on eBay. Hell of a steal. He was before my time. But sounds like he was a good player for my blues. Great video. Hope for more Blues content

Thank you for doing the vid! He should absolutely be in. At least says this biased Blues fan

I loved him when he played for the Blues

Maybe you should do a video on what exactly the hall of fame is? Is it just about high points? Is it really about dominant players? Innovative players. Do players that simple score a lot get in? Do players that don't have the points but win a lot get in? IDK IDK idk.

No injury -95. Played 49 games, 48 games schedule. -93 & -94 had 84 games.

Not many people know that Peter had a daughter that was killed in a car crash not many years ago my condolences to the turgeon family she was a on her way to a promising career in hockey as well

I always thought Turgeon was a terrific gentleman player and I think he should be in the HOF. At a point a game his numbers are more than enough but IMO it's his lack of winning a Cup that makes the hockey writers pass him up at voting time.

Ya great player indeed. He deserves to be a hall of famer

Loved him in St Louis. Should be in the Hall.

I was at the Caps isles game where Hinter cheapshoted him after the goal. Hunter was a pos. Unfortunately, the Muller trade was a disaster as Kirk did not want to play there.

He was also in the little league World Series playing for Canada when Kirkland had their huge upset.

Can you do a career of Pat Lafontaine?

Omg YES!!!!! Loved Turgeon!!!!

you're right, his career is littered with being on a team before or after that team's playoff success and not during.Only one conference finals appearance. He missed out on cups with Mon, Dal and Col.

Trading Lafontaine for Turgeon was a great trade for both the Islanders and the Sabres. Islanders probably win the cup in 93 if Hunter not cheapshot him.

oh I loved this guy

He had 9 seasons where he scored at least 30 goals. 31st in all time points. 32nd all time in assists. Unless theirs only thirty forwards in the hall of fame I'm not seeing the debate on him deserving to be there.

Regular season numbers that are way better than players like Alfredson, Tkachuck, Roenick and Roberts who are comparable during similar time frames. Scoring was higher when his numbers were huge. Decent playoff number. But there is no X factor to get him into the hall of fame. Fantastic career though.

My ancient recollection of his play for the Blues was that he was very good, but not great. I also remember when he was a scratch during the playoffs because he had a migraine headache. I don’t recall if that was from previous head injuries, though it probably was. I do remember thinking it was a very lame excuse for missing a playoff game. That was before I was enlightened about the whole brain injury thing.

Perfect thumbnail. I can't believe I didn't clue in to it sooner.

Why is this man not in the Hall of Fame? Look at his numbers???

Can you do a video on bill guerin?

He’s in for 2020!

Pierre Turgeon and Rick Middleton should be in the hall of fame. Pierre was a better player than Bernie Federko and Clark Gillies who are hall of famers.

I always find it interesting that 92-93 was such a high scoring season. Amazing. And: did Turgeon really enjoy playing in Montreal? I'm asking legit

MY IDOL AND HERO

As and Avs fan, I don’t know if he actually lives here or not but he is involved in quite a lot around here so that’s a good to see in a player and a lot of the type of stuff that is taken into consideration for the hall of fame. I have met him and he is a great guy. I don’t know if that’s enough to push him over the edge for a hall of fame career though, I don’t think I’m sold on that.

he should be in the hall.

He is definitely a Hall of Famer.

He is a player that so many people know and enjoyed watching - bump for hall of fame.

If Guy Carbonneau is in the hall, Pierre Turgeon can be in the hall.

This is the earliest I’ve gotten in on a video

Hall of Famer Pat LaFontaine - 468 Goals and 545 Assists for 1013 Points

Absolutely deserves to be in the HOF

As a sabres draft pick I always rooted for him, I hated the cheap shot on him in his prime, I really think without that cheap shot he would have stayed a 100pt a season player

Can you do a career video on Daniel alfredsson

He isn't in the hall of fame? B.S.! How?

2021 and this man still ain’t in the Hall of Fame.

I always get him and Vincent Damphousse confused with each other.

He's definitely a Hall Of Famer! That he's not there is a crime! He's better than Guy Carbaneau, Martin St. Louis, Brendan Shannahan, and other guys who are there. So is Jeremy Roenick. The committee doesn't know what its doing.

Stars great Pierre Turgeon and Beniot Hogue

Make a vincent damphousse video

Ohh la la la Pierre!! I was totally devastated when we traded him to the Islanders however Pat LaFontaine was a great acquisition as well I don't think either one of them won a Stanley Cup so I guess the trade worked out?

As an isles fan, what a kick in the dick it was to watch the islanders get screwed out of their 5th cup shot

He will be in the hall next year.

If Lanny McDonald is in the hall, Turgeon should be in there for sure, he had 300 more points than Lanny and more goals too.

If you would’ve asked me, I would’ve said he was in

He should be in. Watched him with the islanders. Guy was a magician with the puck. Goals and Points should Get him in. He should be in already. For the record. Turgeon was not on the bench during the brawl. He was on the ice.

He should be in the hall. You play almost 1300 games and average a ppg you should be in.

Brian Propp should be getting HOF consideration.

my first favorite hockey player ever, he's not really hall of fame material imo the way he looked with buffalo and the Islanders was great but after that Dale Hunter cheapshot (reminiscent of that Youngblood movie with Rob Lowe) he was never the same and he didn't lead anyone anywhere. His nickname was Sneaky Pete because he was sneaky he didn't have an authority over a game he got all his goals on rebounds when no one was looking and quick short bursts unlike the player he was traded for Pat LaFontaine who was in your face carrying the puck diving through the air dangerous captain best trade in Sabres history (of course besides the complete robbery of Chicago)

Turgeon put up nice numbers, no doubt but he was never dominant nor a non-stop highlight reel. He wasn’t a leader and yes, he was soft. These IMO, are the major factors why he didn’t get in until 2023. I was never a big fan but you score 500 goals and are a better than point per game player, you belong in the HOF.

You have not done a Career of Keith Tkachuk or Peter Bondra yet.

The sad fact that they have left Pierre Turgeon out of the Hall for something he did as a 17-year-old kid is shameful. I love when you hear that he was soft. You know who else was soft, The Great One. Take a look at Gretzky trying to fight Neal Broten (who wasn't exactly Bob Probert) here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcuEebCQrbvFo6c.html . Not all players were rock 'em, sock 'em. I guess Pierre should kiss Wayne's backside, like Kevin Lowe and that's how you get in the Hall. I am sure if 17 year-old Pierre knew that 30 years later he would be kept out of the Hall because of this, he may have gotten off the bench. But, since he could not fight, he could have permanently injured himself and cost himself his entire NHL career and that would have been everyone's loss.

You should make a career vid on Theo Flurey.

What about alexander mongilny or daniel alferson

Turgeon was blamed for the first round exit in 1996, which shows how crazy they were over there. Then at the start of 1996 Saku Koivu was breaking out, leading the league in scoring. Perfect. Trade away the scapegoat for the "grit" that was missing and with Koivu leading the way, this would bring the Cup to Montreal! Then soon after, Koivu is subject to a catastrophic injury after which he was never the same. Terrible, terrible management.

I like Pierre Turgeon...Turgeon should get in eventually. I would put Vincent Damphousse in 1st though.

He's kind of a bubble HOF player imo, so I get why he's not in there, but with: 1294GP-515G- 812A 1327pts..... mostly in a lower scoring era..I wouldn't keep him out. His career was cut shorter than it should've been or he would've had well over 1400pts too. HOF numbers all day long. He was better than Lanny McDonald who's in the HOF, and on the committee..lol All in all he was a better player than many that ARE in there.. Dick Duff, Guy Carboneau, Clark Gillies, Bernie Federko, Kevin Lowe, McDonald, I would say Joe Mullen too. There's tons of players in there that I would say he's easily on par with too. Patrick Marleau will probably get in.. and I would take Turgeon over him ANY DAY.

He's been eligible 10 years it'll be 11 next year.

Mtl wanted Damphousse as capitain, but yeah, bad move

Pierre is a borderline hall of famer

his brother was a sniper too

Don't forget Jaromir Jagr played for almost every team in the league except for my Buffalo Sabres when we could have got him for cheap to make a nice playoff run. but that's okay Darcy regier John muckler Tim Murray

No hof. The bar needs to be high. Only the best of the best

I only remember him from that cheap shot. Was it Dale Hunter.

I loved Carbonneau, and he and Turgeon are apples and oranges, but I agree that it's weird to see Carbonneau in the Hall of Fame and Turgeon not. Numbers matter. Defense matters too, but last I checked goals win games. The only problem I see with Turgeon getting in is who becomes the next Turgeon? Is it Damphousse? Then if Damphousse gets in, who's the next Vinny? My point is that there has to be a cut off line somewhere. There always has to be a "most points among players not in the HHOF" titlist. I don't think you can automatically induct that player just for having more points than any other not in the hall. That alone isn't a good enough reason. Ironically, Turgeon might be better remembered in hockey history if he remains at the head of debates about players not in the hall than if he's inducted and buried beneath a pile of even bigger names/better players.

Cant believe MTL. made him Capt. Then again they had this belief that the capt HAD to speak french so......who else - Patrice Turgeon ? There u have it .

This guy tortured the Bruins when he was with buffalo

Who cares if he gets in the hall of fame isnt it enough to have a good career and play for a long time

First, if all your boys are getting into a fight against The Soviets, you best get your ass over the boards bra!

Montreal should have kept Kirk Muller. He was a much better captain. Turgeon was a good player but couldn't handle the pressure.

Should steve larmer be in the hall of fame?

Whose 2nd highest scoring player not in hall of fame? Anyone know?

hALL OF FAMER.

pretty underwhelming playoff numbers (and games played)

I watched a lot of this guy's career,i agree he's a bubble hof'er.His numbers are good enough but...He was unremarkable otherwise.

Pierre Turgeon is forever a blue! The other years almost dont count.

Its a joke that hes not in the HHOF, figure it out NHL

Day 6 of asking for a Dwayne Roloson video

No cup

He got traded from every team cause he wasnt ever a good leader...there was a phrase attributed to him during his time in Buffalo that followed him everywhere..."Tin Man Turgeon" ...pound on his chest and listen to the echo for his heart... Not a question of was he soft...nhl is tough have to be tough to play so long there...and toughness has nothing to do with poor leadership skills...
