Brodeur won 300 more games than Hasek… and won the cup 3 times. He won 150 more than Roy, had a better save percentage and was an elite puck handler.

People don’t realize that the neutral zone trap, which dominates the NHL now, was made possible by Brodeur’s puck handling. He changed the game. Never gets the credit he deserves.

Lemaire brought his system with him to the Devils from Montréal where it had been used already during his own playing days. Sure Brodeur and Vanbiesbrouck being good puckhandlers affected how it was popularized by their success in the mid-90s, but you're giving (one of) them far too much credit here.

I wonder if there was a goalie in MTL for Lemaire's entire tenure there. Imagine if that goalie never won another vezina after Lemaire left the organization.

Surely that goalie would also gets his accomplishments discredited like broduer does

Brodeur vezinas without lemaire: 4
Roy vezinas without lemaire: 0
