Congrats to Quickie!

I and many others thought he was cooked.


Love him on the team this year.

On a night where he gives up 5 goals lol

He still has something left in the tank for sure.

Congratulations to Quick.

It's not often we create two mainboards threads without somebody getting thrown out of a game.

What an honor it is to have this guy.

I don't think i've ever seen the word winningest in print before - looks funny

He's such a nice man and it's not often you see a backup goalie become a leader in the room, but he really is.

 

[Rangers79]

Good to see him do it as a Ranger.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Did it in perhaps his worst game of the year.

He was a huge part of the heart & soul of those LA cup teams.

Did far more for the culture there than Captain Brown ever did, tbh.

Yeah, that was a howler.

It's the magic of Jonathan Quick.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Nice.

Should be able to get to 400 between whatever games he might play this year and then next.

Love Quick. In a league full of robotic big goaltenders, Quick's athleticism and aggressive style of goaltending has always been a treat to watch, especially in his prime.

One of my favorite goaltenders ever.

 

[Telos]

Very deserving. Bump that record up as high as it can go!

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Congrats Quick!!

Thought it said "Winnipegest US born goalie", and I wondered what he did to beat out Hellebuyck for the title.

Turns out it was about something much less interesting.

It's a weird word. On the one hand, "winning" is functioning as a participial adjective, which is descriptive. By adding the "est," it makes it a word to state the degree. So one part of the word is adjectival, and the other part of the word is adverbial. I think it's officially classed by the OED as an "informal use only" word, because it really is a hybrid of two parts of speech that only exists to avoid the also-clunky (but grammatically-correct) prepositional phrase version of "the American-born goalie with the most career wins."

Either way, yay Quickie.

He's a competitor and is vocal in the room. He'll be the first to admit mistakes and I don't think he's ever taken credit for winning. I'm glad he worked on his game and found some left in the tank. There are a lot of great examples of his leadership out there.

As a Knights fan, i still find it weird that he got his name on the cup playing with the Knights last season.

Just never thought i would see Quick play in a Knights jersey lol.
