I get it. There is no Brodeur, Roy, Luongo or Price equivalent right now. BUT:
-33 Canadian goalies started at least 1 NHL game last season, the most of any other country.
-Capable and Reliable starters in Binnington, Skinner, Hill, Thompson, Jarry, Ingram, Montembeault.
-Good pool of prospects in Levi, Hofer, Cossa, Ivankovic, George.
*I seriously think Binnington is a top 10 goalie if you watch him play and look at his advanced stats.
The Russians and Americans are clearly in leagues of their own when it comes to goalies, but if it weren't for Ullmark (SWE) and Saros (FIN) I genuinely think that Canada would be the 3rd best nation in the tendy department. Of course goaltending development needs a serious and obvious revamp in Canada, but I think the Hockey World is being so hard on Canadian goaltending because it was seen as an obvious strength over other nations in the past. I think it's only a matter of time for an elite Canadian goalie to come around again.
