Then TMac/Blake are just stupid. When Quick starts the teams good play drops considerably. We badly need a top 4 LD, to balance the d-pairs better. Still need to 2 goalies to win games. Copper is doing beyond his part, but Quick is not capable anymore. Quick should be sent down and Cal called up. If that doesn't change anything, then Blake needs to show he has balls and acquire a goalie like Korpisalo.

The bottom line, trying to save face with Quick's horrible goaltending hurts the team growing with their young players.

Do the Kings still have Bartosak's rights? Would he have to deal with the Manchester 'stuff' to be allowed back into the US without being sent to Jail or Prison

And thats on the team for playing so poorly. So goal 4 is on Quick when 4 guys go to the puck along the boards leaving the middle wide open? He did everything he could to stop that. that was the kind of defense we saw in the 1st few months.

I'm talking about his overall play. Quick struggles playing for this roster/coaching as is now. His SV% is atrocious! Copper is 15-3 in his starts. It's not a fluke anymore. Copper plays well and Quick doesn't. When you are in serious competition to win the division, you can't keep hanging onto a struggling vet goalie that was great for you in the distant past. It' time to move on!

Why is Lemieux playing? Are the Kings showcasing him for the Lightning

Lizotte for all he brings loses too many board battles and gets knocked on ass at least 10 times a game
 
thats a long ass break. they're gonna get destroyed the first game back. 11 days off vs a team playing their 3rd game after their break.

Quick's save % tonight is .833, .884 on the year. GAA is 3.34. He's #51 of 56 goalies who have played 15 games in GSAA.

You can go thru and audit all of his goals if you want, sometimes in the NHL it isn't about 'well how can you expect him to...' because he's an NHL goalie, you can't expect him to STEAL every game, but you damn sure expect him to come up with the routine saves and at least several every game he 'shouldn't.'

By every measure, Quick has not been good enough, we should not have to be talking about 'yeah but did you see the FOURTH goal'

If you don't even look at his stats and just use the eye test. You see Quick is horribly struggling right now. He's flopping around, over reacting, misreading plays, bad rebound control, etc. He worked so well with goalie coach Ranford for many years, but nothing last forever. Quick isn't even playing at an AHL goalie level right now. What worked in the distant past for him, isn't working anymore. Quite frankly, I have not seen him adjust well to the newer NHL where overall goal scoring is up. Look at 41 year old Craig Anderson of the Sabres. Anderson aint a #1 goalie anymore, but he has learned to adjust and still be a good NHL backup goalie, despite playing on Sabres team that defends worse then the Kings.
