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.
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 Monday's Victims:
Bulldog- Dan Bain
"...his bio says that he started his hockey career by answering an ad in the newspaper."
Mike Schopp- Slava Fetisov
"...he wasn't Bobby Orr."
Greg Bauch- Moose Johnson
"...teams he played for: The Aristocrats, the Millionaires, the Wanderers, the Rosebuds and the Buckaroos."
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.
