For popularizing the neutral zone trap - defensive ice hockey strategy, which reduced scoring and making the game less exciting for fans.
The "trap" also greatly reduced the showcase of better skilled players to exhibit their talents.
Jacques Lemaire does Not belong in the Hall-of-Fame. He was a cog (Not a superstar) with the great, powerful Montreal Canadiens teams in the late 60's & 70's.
Just because you win a few Stanley Cups with great teams doesn't make you a Hall of Famer (For a comparison - see Richard "Dick" Duff).
