JLP Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Is it because the firewagon brand of hockey in the QMJHA exposes them to so many shots? Is it because there are superior goaltending coaches in Qc? Cold weather? Genetics? The poutine factor? I was following Brodeur and Garon's performances and I started to wonder, what do you think?

spent Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Don't forget Theodore, Brodeur and Luongo at this years ASG. They all hail from Quebec. spent. :ghg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan88 Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Sure are right you guys! I don't know why those skilled goaltenders are all from the same place..... I say its the poutine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch_nl Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 What's poutine? I think it because of the tradition. And the fact that american goaltenders are better than european. Smaller rinks makes the play closer to the netminder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck7x Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Originally posted by ch_nlWhat's poutine? Its only the greatest dish ever invented...

WARNING: Do not flood your bowl! its poutine, not soup... Just made a poutine a few hours ago... mmm.... Most people who havent ever tried poutine and only hear about the describtion usually think its going to taste nasty, but those people are fools! (And they quickly change their minds once they try it!) Poutine is the food of gods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, i think i found, last january, the best poutine.. at Ashton. What restaurant makes your favourite Poutine ?

BigRedBob Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I asked this question from Helsinki IFK's goalie Dave Stathos(from Longueuil) and he said it's a combination of excellent goalie coaching, and the fact, that Quebec's junior hockey is so offensive, that you gotta learn fast to stop the pucks.

Bonavistaman11 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I think it definitely has to be the overload of shots!... But the Poutine comes in a close 2nd place here!!! haha :ghg::ghg::ghg: Poutine Rocks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonus Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 poo-TEEN (approximately) not to be confused with putain [Edited on 4/7/2004 by simonus] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan88 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 yep....its great. Although new york fries makes it......I usually find it the best over in quebec. I've got a cottage in the laurentiens and i pig out on poutine. Most people refuse to eat it as soon as they see it. but once they try it.......they dont sttop eating it. also, its quite fattening.....but whatever, its good and thats all i care about!!

ch_nl Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I'm interested. So. If I am going to cook poutine for the first time, what do I need? What kind of cheese are you using? Post the recepie. I'll cook it and then I'll post a picture of the finished meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan88 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 well I've never home made it before, so i wouldnt know what to do ..... but i do know that in it, theres cheese curds, gravy and fries......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch_nl Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Gravy? That's a word that's not in my vocabulary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 the translation i got was: sky, köttsaft, köttspad, köttsås it's a liquid made from animal fat... I don't really know how to make it... its just good with potato products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch_nl Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Köttsaft. Thats meat-sauce. But it could be "sky". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 meat-sauce seems reasonable. Gravy is primarily used in North America with Turkey and mashed potatos. Does this sound right? What does sky mean to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonavistaman11 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I think Gravy is made from flour and Water......Most people do use it with a Turkey dinner, they mix the flour and water together then pour it in the roaster, after the Turkey comes out, and then mix it in with the liquid/Juices/Grease (whatever it is) thats left in the bottom.. This puts the flavour on it!! Then ya gotta add gravy browning to give it its brown color... There are other things you can use for flavouring besides grease from a turkey or chicken but im not sure what they are....And it is very fattening...

Bonavistaman11 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 So have you had any luck with the Poutine??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 This is what you are going for: Naturally, it tastes better than it looks. One bowl will have an immediate impact on your GAA. And your colon. You need cheese curds (but not cottage cheese). I suggest you buy the gravy mix in a package from an import supermarket. Fries should be both crispy and greasy, deep fried of course and preferably in oil with chicken fat. Bon Appetit!
