Controversy and Surprises in the NHL Hall of Fame Inductions.

Former Red Wings goaltender Mike Vernon has been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, while former Red Wings star Henrik Zetterberg missed out for the second year in a row. Vernon won a Stanley Cup with Detroit in 1997 and the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP. Zetterberg, who finished his career with 960 points, was on the ballot for a second year but failed to gain the minimum 75% of the vote required for induction.
