The Legendary Jonathan Quick
I remember on this board, one of the funniest threads I recall in all my years here (which pre-dates this account).
Mondo and his "Screw it, I think I'm on Team Bernier."
That was probably 12-13 years ago, before the cups and Conn Smythe. The argument back then was that he was "swimming in his crease, always out of position and making routine saves look dramatic."
It was such an amazing run with him when he proved all those doubters wrong, and provided us with the most stable era of Kings goaltending since Rogie, but unfortunately it looks like those old premature criticisms have caught up with him. He still has flashes of brilliance, but when he gets beat these days, like several times tonight, the ghosts of old Mondo posts flash before my eyes.
Thanks Quickie, it's been an incredible run, and I look forward to the jersey retirement you've earned with your place in Kings history.
