Jonathan Quick’s postgame thoughts…
(on having the most points in the NHL right now…)
QUICK: “We’re just playing one game at a time right now. Everything that has happened so far doesn’t really factor in. It’s a long season. We’ve got a lot of games to play, so we’re just going to take it one game at a time and try to get two points every time we’re out there, and we’ll build off the momentum that we have so far.”
(on whether he was screened on the Devils’ goal…)
QUICK: “It was a bit of a screen. Still, the guy was pretty high out. I kind of wish I had that one back. But it happens. The team responded. We came back and scored a big goal right after that, and we were able to shut them down for the rest of the game.”
(on many of the Devils’ shots coming from the perimeter…)
QUICK: “It makes my job a lot easier. You look at see that they had 20 shots (in the third period) and it might look like I’m getting a lot of work, but a lot of them were from the perimeter and I was able to see a ton of them. The guys did a great job of picking up guys and clearing out lanes. The ones I wasn’t able to control, they were able to get the rebounds and get them to the corners. So it was a great team effort. We’ve just got to try to build off the momentum we’ve had in the last few games.”
i love quick easily favorite player of all time right now

To say that Jon Quick is our #1 goalie right now is an understatement. Its not that he is spectacular, he is confident and with the great defensemen we have around him it is definately possible that this guy could be a MVP canidate this season.

@puck73,
I say with Bernier getting regular starts, Quick will break 40 this year.

@Dominick, Yes, having Bernier spell Quick could easily get him to 40, especially the way he’s playing right now….

@seabass,
I concur. I second that. AND I stamp a double stamp.

I never get sick of Quick’s selflessness. His attitute is the epitome of what hockey is all about: Team first.
Mr. Bernier could not have a better example of how to conduct himself as a professional.

@Cynic,
I don’t think we’ll be hearing any more quotes from JB about how the defense in front of him struggled during a loss. I think the recent 5 game road trip helped Bernier feel like more of one of the guys, which will only serve him well as the season moves along.

any guesses as why Quick wasn’t the #1 star (for the THIRD game in a row!)?
The guys were deserving, but it’s been Quick keeping the games scores reasonable.

Like I said Quick is the man. Bernier is about himself and will never be a team man, or he just is a big baby. QUICK NEVER GIVES HIMSELF ANY CREDIT IT IS ALL ABOUT THE TEAM. GO QUICK.

@james wilson, Woooooa Jim, HOLD IT THERE. You didnt really think you were going to post this on Monday morning and think that nobody was going to respond to this did you? I mean, come on Jim! You and I are Kings fans and I am not gonna call the kid selfish or a cancer yet. I think we as Kings fans have a great situation here. Now, do I know who is gonna win this battle? No! But lets be honest here, Bernier is a great prospect and dont think that Quick isnt aware of that. Now that Bernier has stepped up to the next level, he is gonna have to prove himself again and he is going against a guy like Quick who showed the organization that he is a #1 goalie as well and he is the guy around here and if Bernier wants his job he is gonna have ta bust his ass to get it because Quick is sending Bernier and the rest of the NHL a message…I am the man, I am young, and I am on the rise! As far as you claiming Bernier is selfish because of what you read or heard in an interview…relax Jim, its way to early to think this guy is a poison pill..Enjoy the competition Jim..Sincerely your fellow Kings fans!
