Enough with Barry Melrose
Dear God, don’t ever let Barry Melrose broadcast another hockey game ever again....
It’s happening to the Maple Leafs again
Even though we Chicagoans don’t get a spring — it’s winter until one day somewhere in May when it’s just suddenly summer and we’re all instantly drunk outside — that doesn’t mean we can’t recognize the signs of spring approaching elsewhere. Sure, we’ve been robbed of one of them in spring training. ...
It was a day to be ‘committed’ — apparently
The theme of yesterday was being “committed.” Not actually being committed though, just saying it out loud. The Cleveland baseball team said it, after the story broke about them covering up Mickey Callaway’s behavior while he was their pitching coach. But, as Craig Calcaterra points out, just about ...
Jonathan Quick Slips A Fan An Autograph From The Bench
This is from a Kings' preseason game in Las Vegas on Oct. 4, with the video only posted online this weekend. It shows L.A. goalie Jonathan Quick surreptitiously passing an autograph to a fan through the glass during pregame introductions, which is a pretty cool thing for a guy seconds from taking ...
Jonathan Quick Saved Everything And Salvaged Some Respect
The odd thing about this series, where L.A. finds itself up 3-0, is that it's never felt particularly dominant. The Kings have clearly been the better team, but Games 1 and 2 could have gone either way, and everything save the scoreboard says last night's 3-0 win was fortuitous. ...
The Stanley Cup Will Come Down To The Best Team Vs. The Best Player
The Rangers and Kings are in the Stanley Cup Final because of depth, since this is not basketball, where a small number of very good or great individual players can drag a team to postseason success. You need top-flight players to win championships in hockey, obviously, but just as necessary are low...
Jonathan Quick Makes An Outstanding Kick Save While On His Stomach
Los Angeles goalie Jonathan Quick—or more accurately, his right leg—prevented a sure Winnipeg goal near the end of Saturday's Jets-Kings game....
T.J. Oshie Beats Russia In 4-3 Shootout
T.J. Oshie's four shootout goals proved the difference as the United States beat Russia 3-2 (4-3). It took eight rounds of penalty shots before the right combination of Jonathan Quick save and Oshie goal could be properly paired up....
Here's Why Russia's Third Goal Was Disallowed
Russia took a 3-2 lead in the third period after Fyodor Tyutin's blue-line goal, until they didn't. The goal was reviewed by officials, and because USA goalie Jonathan Quick slipped and knocked the net off of one of its moorings ever so slightly—look at the bottom of the left post—Tyutin's score was...
Here's Jonathan Quick's Olympic Mask
We've already seen Ryan Miller's America-out-the-ass mask for the Sochi games. Now we've got Jonathan Quick's. Patriotic? Meh. Shiny? Oh my, yes!...
Jonathan Quick Scored A Power Play Goal On Himself
The last time we checked in on Jonathan Quick in these parts, he was saying "fuck" repeatedly. He probably did that again tonight, after a blunder handed the Rangers a third-period shorthanded goal that actually required zero hands....
With A Little Luck And A Gigantic Glove Save, The Kings Carry On
Hockeywood is halfway to putting out a sequel, and the script looks a lot like last year's: timely goals from unlikely sources, defense that doesn't take a breather, and a Conn Smythe-caliber campaign from Jonathan Quick in net....
