Every year about this time, some lone voice in the wilderness starts rattling a sabre about how former Dallas Stars defenseman Sergei Zubov should be in the conversation for the Hockey Hall of Fame.
And every year, the vast majority of the hockey media overlooks him as a possible strong candidate.
That can get a little blood boiling among Dallas hockey fans and media who got to see Zubov up close and personal for 12 years. Bob Sturm went on a great rant on Tuesday where he laid out the frustrations people have with the arguments against Zubov (of note, Sean McIndoe wrote the Grantland piece he mentions, not Katie Baker - Sturm acknowledged the error after the segment).
