Dear HHOF, When Will Goring Get the Call?
November 11th, 2007 by murph
We’ve pretty much ignored the Hockey Hall of Fame inductions this weekend because of a certain someone from the Oilers/Rags being inducted, but there’s been plenty of discussion about it. Over at FoxSports, Spector wonders when/if Butch Goring will get the call, and we couldn’t agree with him more.
Butch Goring was one of the best two-way centers in NHL history. In a career that stretched from 1969 to 1985 Goring had 888 points in 1107 regular season games and 88 points in 134 playoff games. He won four Stanley Cups with the NY Islanders in the early 1980s, as well as individual accolades like the Masterton and Lady Byng trophies in 1978 and the Conn Smythe as the 1981 playoff MVP.

Couldn’t agree more. Butchie was a key component to those championship teams, especially the first two.
