Hasek is better than Brodeur?
Easily.
Yes.
Also, fun fact, I own a Hasek Senators jersey.
Damn, I'm jelly.

Yes, at his peak he blew Brodeur away. Brodeur had more longevity in the NHL because Hasek was older when he came over.
Hasek was as far ahead of other goalies at his peak as Gretzky was ahead of other forwards.
If Hasek was Canadian, he would be up there with Gretzky, Howe, and Orr in how people talk about them like it is unanimous that they are in a certain special GOAT tier.
I am not saying that it is active xenophobia, it's just marketing. Canadian players are more popular in Canada, and the history of the league has been viewed more through a Canadian retrospective by fans because it's only when Bettman took over that the league started making inroads expanding the footprint of the game across the US (with the exception of the Northeast). The league also has only been an international league for a few decades and prior to that it was mainly Canadians and some Americans. So in terms of where players rank in history, I think Canadians in the past have commanded a higher level of interest, which results in guys like Hasek being underrated compared to the more marketable players like Roy and Brodeur.
Yes.

He shouldn’t have suited up for the Czechs in Turin Olympics. We were gonna win the Cup. That’s why Brodeur is better. He’s so good league had to nerf him with the trapezoid.Easily.
Damn, I'm jelly.
I was cheering for the Czech's in 98 because of him (and a few others like Jagr & Straka), but could have done without the Turin turn of events. You're damn right that's the best chance the Senators ever had. That kind of made me have a hate on for international hockey and thought of that when the commentators today brought up Ullmark potentially starting for Sweden.He shouldn’t have suited up for the Czechs in Turin Olympics.

Wow, Ullmark brutal in his post game comments after Vegas,
"If we had a capable goalie, we'd have won 4-3"
I like him taking accountability but hope he's not so hard on himself that he messes up his confidence.
This is bizarre. If you do a poll here and ask everyone , I am willing to bet it would be 90-10 Hasek. Has nothing to do with xenophobia . Brodeur benefitted from a trapping teamYes, at his peak he blew Brodeur away. Brodeur had more longevity in the NHL because Hasek was older when he came over.

Agreed. If anything it shows how confident he really is.Wow, Ullmark brutal in his post game comments after Vegas,
