Just as they did with the Baseball, Football and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Mike Schopp and the Bulldog will kick undeserving members of the Hockey Hall of Fame to the curb. We will take 3 players off the list each weekday until one great remains.
There are now only 69 players left in the Hall of Fame.
Keep in mind, you can hear all of the segments from the Committee in the 'Schopp and the Bulldog' section of the WGR550.com audio vault.
Here are Wednesday's Victims:
Mike Schopp- Sylvio Mantha
"..twice a 2nd team all-star."
Bulldog- DOUBLE UP- Newsy LaLonde and Tommy Smith
"...both hold the NHA record for scoring 9 goals in 1 game. Notice I said 'NHA' record."
Greg Bauch- Doug Bentley
"..his bio says that he was a 'complete' player and 'one of the best backcheckers of his era."
Feel free to help us out with suggestions. Send emails to bulldog@wgr550.com, schopp@wgr550.com and greg@wgr550.com. We are only including the players in the Hall of Fame. Builders and Coaches and such were pre-booted.
