Jonathan Quick

[Rorschach]

You are a little bit off on the timeline. The philosophy now is to try to run him and get him thinking about contact. Soon, the philosophy will be to injure him and remove him from the series.

Where IS Raffi Torres when you need him?

MMmm. Good point.

We can mark Quick's career by the "philosophies" on how to beat him:

PO year 1 - shoot on net
PO year 2 - shoot high on him
PO year 3 - shoot higher on him
PO year 4 - shoot harder on him, the diver
PO year 5 - shoot around him

By year six they'll have a bucket of ice cold Budweisers to try to lure him out of the net.

This playoffs the scouting report on Quick seems to be:
1.Run into him
2.Make contact with him
3.Push the blade of your stick into his neck and push him backwards
4.Run into him
5.Make contact with him

It makes me wish it was a previous era of hockey when you did something wrong you had to answer by being punched in the face repeatedly.

If I'm Darryl, I talk to the reffing supervisor this series and I say "okay, we got Quick to shut the hell up for you. Now protect him."

Exactly. QFT.

Chicago has plenty of forwards who are willing to take runs at Quick. Most of their players after the big guns are skilled grinders who play with an edge, I think it's gonna get nasty in the crease.
