ELECTIONS: 1981

The Class of 1981 is empty... Gord Jennings commented on the process when first-time candidate Henri Richard received only 13 of the necessary 15 votes.

"Wow! This is a tough group when a guy who wins 11 Stanley Cups can't get elected," Jennings said.

Joe Pelletier also commented on the election.

"Eleven Stanley Cups and Jean Beliveau once told me the greatest and most complete player he ever played with," Pelletier said. "Yet six people didn't think he was top five on our list? Yikes!"

Here are the final results:
