Goaltending from the Q

[HuGort]

Sportsnet last night said 4 winningest goalies all-time are Brodeur, Roy, Fleury, Luongo. All from the QMJHL. The 4 greatest drafted over 20 years. Roy in '84, Fleury in '03.

Fleury the last one, drafted 22 years ago. Since then, virtually no big name came out of the Q. How did we go from one extreme to another? It's odd! Points to dramatic change in Quebec hockey.

TQS, TVA, RDS, pretty much all Quebec media turned to bashing the Habs for not selecting Francophone talent. Hockey Quebec endorses such behavior because it took the onus off of them from having to actually invest money into player development.

As such, the development system in Quebec is antiquated (even more antiquated than Hockey Canada, which is still shit and antiquated) particularly when it comes to goaltending.

I was beating this drum for years on this board and just got bashed as a hater of Quebecois.
