I don't know why alot of people think that the QMJHL is this league of a bunch of little stick players going around the ice who say "pardon me" to one another when they skate by, and the consenses is all they can do is play from the blueline in. People who think like this should not even be allowed on this board as their opinions are so biased that they will not have a valid argument.
Most of the Brule is or will be better than Crosby talk is only because Crosby does not play in their league. I have seen both play and IMO Brule is no where close to Crosby to even close in talent. If Crosby played in the WHL he would have still been the leading scorer of the CHL. Look what he did at the World Juniors with players two years older than him, look what he did at the U18s, look at the Canada Winter Games. Each of these teams or tournaments had a bunch of WHL and OHL players on the team going against one another or against countries of equal talent and Crosby not only proved he was good enough to be there, but twice he was leading scorer on the team and once in the tournment (CWG), and at the WJHC he was, when he was out there Canadas best offensive player IMO, and the grittieness in his game was very evident at that tournament.
