Quick postgame quotes

Jonathan Quick’s postgame thoughts…

(on the series…)
QUICK: “The team played great. They battled hard all series. That’s a very good Canucks team over there. We played well for six games. Obviously it’s not the outcome we wanted, but we’ve got some time to reflect on the season and start getting ready for next year. … No matter how it happens, your season ends and it does not feel good. It is something that all year long we were great at, closing out those third periods. It is a shame we let two of them get away from us.”

(on the Bieksa goal…)
QUICK: “I think it was Daniel Sedin who went behind the net, so I went down to the post, because they’ve been doing that wrap play in the series, where they just walk the net and jam it. I was looking down for the puck and he passed it out, and Bieksa kind of one-timed it. As I was coming out to get on that angle, it just squirted through my legs and I wasn’t able to close up in time.”

(on a postgame talk with Ryan Smyth…)
QUICK: “He told me I had a great year, a great season and a great series. It means a lot coming from a guy like that. He battles all year round, and he is really respected in the league. He has been through a lot, so it means a lot.”
