Upcoming game with Kings, Feb. 18th

[Renard]

Our last game against the Kings was a very physical game. There were lots of board battles. Two of our player (both Swedes, if that makes any difference) were injured in the game on January 9, 2016.

Jaskin had some heavy-duty board battles with Doughty. Lucic was a menacing figure throughout the game. Quick was a bad sport after Brouwer won the shootout, breaking his stick to show how little respect he had for Brouwer.

I'm assuming that we will play our big boy lineup, with Reaves, Jaskin and Bortuzzo in the lineup, and all the Swedes not named Steen will sit out.

In my old time hockey dreams, Jacob Doty comes up and busts some heads, and Reaves pounds Lucic. Someone pulls down Quick's pants.

Don't be ridiculous.

How is breaking your stick showing how little respect you have for someone?

 

[2 Minute Minor]

Elliott did the same thing at the end of a game recently. Its just a tantrum, and Quick does it a lot (at least when the Kings lose). Its like guys throwing their golf clubs.

 

[Dbrownss]

Quick is injured, so we don't have to deal with him and Enroth sucks

 

[Renard]

Don't be ridiculous.

My impression was that Quick was making a statement. The statement is - "you aren't good enough to score on me: so I'm mad at myself for letting you score." Like the BS statements Mohammed Ali would make - "He would apologize if he ever dreamed that he could beat me."

 

[stl76]

Which part is ridiculous?

I'm guessing the part he underlined Edit: nm you figured it out haha

LGB! In Hitch speech tonight is a good measure of "where our team is" and stuff but I'm just looking forward to a good game.

Goalies do this all the time, they don't like losing. It's not a personal slight to the player who scored

"UGH! I can't believe this guy who has scored 20 goals (+/-3) the last six seasons just scored another one!! When will this lucky streak end for him!!?!?11/1/"

Careful now, he might shut the Blues out.... again.

He still sucks lol

I don't remember seeing this behavior before. You are sure it happens all the time?

I don't like the Kings for a lot of reasons, but to me, Quick and Doughty seem to be exceptionally arrogant. The both of them are star players, but not all stars are arrogant. Take Tarasenko as an example.

Dude..... yes

 

[KirkOut]

Dude..... yes

This is one of my favorite videos on YouTube

This is one of my favorite videos on YouTube

~1:30, where Jagr gets chased by the Flyers goalie, might be one of my favorite sports moments of all time. Hysterical.

"A twenty goal scorer? He's nothing" says Quick's conduct.

I guess you don't want to see Quick have his pants pulled down. Someone posted above that he is injured and out. He might still be in the press box for the game on Thursday night. Maybe Angela Sharpe could set it so Louie pulls down his pants in the pressbox, and she gets it on camera for the jumbotron.

Yes it happens a lot. Take a look at any goalie. Pay close attention to Tuukka Rask when he loses, particularly on something controversial. May want to suck though because a water bottle crate and/or stick is likely to come flying at you.

What do Rask and Quick have in common? They are both arrogant jerks.

I expect goalies to be highly competitive guys. They would probably even prefer to win rather than lose. But when you get beat by a guy, you ought to give the goal scorer the hockey equivalent of a tip of the cap. Not a tantrum.

Look, I'm not saying that Quick should be put in front of a firing squad. Just have his pants pulled down.

You are reading entirely too much into this. Goalies on the whole, tend to be the most competitive players on the entire team. They hate losing, especially in a one on one situation. Sometimes the emotions get the best of them because...shockingly...they aren't happy about losing. It has nothing to do with showing up the other player.

Every goalie has the attitude that they are better than the opponent, because they have to. If you don't have the confidence that you can beat the other guy, you've already lost. You're basically making a mountain out of a mole hill here. It's ridiculous to expect a goalie to essentially walk up to the guy and be like "good job on beating me."

See, this betrays the fact that you think 20 goals is "nothing". Which is ridiculous. Last year, scoring 20 goals put you in the top 17% of all forwards.

I didn't notice Lucic do anything in that game.

Elliott did the exact same thing last week against the Jets, I guess he's an arrogant jerk

 

[Xerloris]

Goalies and especially Quick are very competitive and a lot of times they feel the entire game is riding on them. I would assume even more so in a shootout so when they lose they're angry and feel like they personally let the team down. It has nothing to do with thinking the other player isn't good enough to score on them.

Also I like it when a goalie shows emotion and passion about things. Not how Rask does it though, that dude does it all the damn time.

He tripped Paajarvi from behind, part of the double team that injured Magnus. The other guy got the game misconduct.

I stand by my opinion. Quick and Doughty are arrogant jerks. You are entitled to your opinion, Sir Paste.
