That’s hilarious that someone mentioned Rick Knickle. I use to watch him in San Diego before the Kings picked him up… those do look like his pads… kind of old school lookin.

I loved when Stauber would skate out to the blue line, that was classic! I still remember him punching some dude in the face a bunch of times with his blocker too haha.

Hrudey was my all time favorite King goaltender though.

I couldn’t figure out why they let Huet get away. All he did was come in at the end of the season and play great…and boom, he’s gone and the net is a sieve again for several years, and–Huet ends up an all-star! I thought maybe I was deluding myself but I went back and looked at his numbers with the Kings and after, and they were almost identically awesome. As a side note, I think Bernier should be brought up as the backup so that Quick doesn’t burn out with the workload or get injured before the playoffs. Bernier would be better than Ersburg and it would give him invaluable experience–and Quick and Bernier could share the workload.

I just remember him getting burned by Hull when he tried to do that takeout move, and he never did it again iirc.

@ everyone… the funny thing is that more that a few times Rob’s adventures led to some bad goals… a tradition embraced by many-a-King goalie in less dramatic fashion…

LOL! I totally remember Staubs skating up ice with the puck. I swear I thought he was gonna go all the way with it. Classic! Thanks for that shakes!

Goalie gear freak in the house. The link is correct graphically, but Quick’s pad is actually the Velocity 3, not the Velocity 2 as shown in the GoalieMonkey link. Us average joes would get upcharged by Vaughn for the “vintage” graphic on the V3 pad. Those are going to look particularly cool with the third jerseys.

Yeah, people were complaining on another post about Quick playing “too far out of the net” and could only laugh thinking about Robb Stauber. I can’t click the youtube link at work, but besides the hits does it include the time he skated the puck almost up to the blueline on a breakout?

for an added Robb Stauber Blueline bonus…the move at the very end is epic (and this montage doesn’t even capture his seemingly frequent move of meeting the skater and oftentimes nailing once they entered the zone)
