July 8, 2009 in Gaston, Guy Lafleur, Henri Richard, Jacques Plante, Jean Beliveau, Mario Lemieux, Maurice Richard, Montreal Canadiens, Patrick Roy Tags: Doug Harvey, Gaston, Guy Lafleur, Habs, Henri Richard, hockey players from Quebec, Jacques Plante, Jean Beliveau, Marcel Dionne, Mario Lemieux, Maurice Richard, Mike Bossy, Patrick Roy, Ray Bourque
Would it be wrong to suggest that the twelve best hockey players to come out of Quebec are, in no particular order, Maurice Richard, Jean Beliveau, Mike Bossy, Patrick Roy, Doug Harvey, Henri Richard, Jacques Plante, Guy Lafleur, Ray Bourque, Marcel Dionne, Mario Lemieux…..
And of course, Gaston LeBois?

I have a hard time including Gaston with the others. Although he’s frequently mentioned everywhere I go, its always about much he’s despised. It may not be seem fair but that mouth of his will keep him off any such “best” list.

Yeah but Eddie Shore and Ty Cobb were despised too and they made it to their Halls of Fame.

No Brodeur?

To get twelve I had to make a decision between Brodeur and Gaston.

Good list, Jordy. No, those aren’t stains. Just an artsy-fartsy picture.

I cheated, I googled touche and copy/pasted the result. But I also have the abcTajpu Firefox plug-in (http://traduku.net/abctajpu/) which makes it an easy right click option.

What about Denis Potvin? He broke Orr’s scoring records, he was a ferocious checker who laid people out on the ice, he won the Calder and multiple Norris trophies, and lest we forget, he joined a team that was one of the worst in league history and led it to four Cups and nineteen consecutive playoff series wins.

Potvin was born in Ottawa, lived in Ottawa, and played for the Ottawa 67′s before going to the Islanders. So he’s not from Quebec. He was a great player, though, and if he was a Quebecer, he’d be on the list for sure.
