All Decade Team cements Washington Capitals Alex Ovechkin Hall of Fame career

Washington Capitals left winger Alex Ovechkin was named to the NHL’s first ever All-Decade team. The NHL has taken a step in the right direction to legitimize the Hockey Hall of Fame selection process.

The Hockey Hall of Fame is by far the weakest of the four major North American professional sports leagues. The Hall should rename themselves the Hall of Very Good to recognize some of the not so fame-worthy achievements of some of the inductees.

Reference my post on Mike Gartner to understand that there are players who had very good careers enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame that should not be considered Hall of Famers.
