Jonathan Quick’s postgame thoughts…
(on rallying in the shootout after giving up two goals…)
QUICK: “Not at all, but it’s always a good feeling when you let in a couple early and the team gives you support. We got a couple big goals early, and then Willy buried it at the end there for us.”
(on the save on Glencross, off the crossbar…)
QUICK: “He made a good shot. I was fortunate to kind of get the cuff of my glove on it. I saw it lollypoping there, so I kind of just hoped that it didn’t fall in. It bounced off the crossbar there for a second, and I was fortunate enough to get the glove on it there the second time.”
(on the gritty nature of the win…)
QUICK: “We knew that’s the kind of game it was going to be. They were a real good team along the wall. They play a great dot-to-boards game. They crash the net. They throw pucks at the net and they jam. It’s a real dirty game, especially coming up here. It’s a tough building to come in and get a couple points. We’re really happy with what happened tonight, and we’re going to continue with our momentum in Pittsburgh.”
(on whether he likes shootouts, or considers them a necessary evil…)
QUICK: “It’s a little bit of both. I do enjoy it. It’s fun. It is exciting. At the same time, it’s do or die. It’s 50-50 and it can go either way. I’ve been fortunate so far this season. We’ve done well. We’ve had a lot of goals scored, and it’s a big extra point there on the table, so I’m glad we got it tonight.”
