Jonathan Quick is sometimes unfairly judged as an average goaltender that plays on a great team. While that idea may have some merit, what cannot be questioned is Quick’s athleticism. It is almost unparalleled in the sport and he put it on full display Wednesday night against Colorado. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av3L3KqQYww Wow. Very few people can make […]
