So, I'm curious how many of Quick's goals against have been deflections or screened point shots? They seem to be his kryptonite. "Shoot high" has always been the book on him, because he plays the percentages so welI (plays at the top of the crease; covers the lower part of the net), and maybe opposing clubs have figured it's easier to "deflect high" than it is to shoot in in close, in traffic.

Or maybe it's just plain old hockey 101; screen the goalie, get deflections.

I suppose the way to find out how many of these have beaten him is to review the game logs and tally them up. Do any of the nerd stat sites track this sort of thing?

It's hockey 101. All goalies in the league are weak to redirects and screens. It's pretty much how you're going to get most of your goals in this league today.

In fact, I loved watching Don Cherry go on a rant about defenders accidentally tipping incoming shots into their own nets because they're trying too hard to be heroes and not letting their goalies make the saves.

Agreed, just hockey 101. No goalie but an over-committing one gets that first ridic tip last night, and maybe some bigger ones get the second, but a perfect shot thru traffic....if those are the two goals that score on you and you still put up a .938, you had a damn good game. Quick made some other beast saves throughout the night too, there were some other great tips that only didn't make the highlight reel because Quick was breathing down their necks :laugh:

Let's not forget that Perron and one more Duck came through and bopped Quick in the head seconds before that second goal too, total crap.

I'd add that those kinds of puns weren't funny the first time, and are now anything but funny after the billionth time. The same goes for "Laffs", "Lames", "Queens", and all the other done-to-death riffs on team names.

It's on the same level of humor as someone asking you, "Working hard, or hardly working?" No, wait, it's even less funny.

Using the term "Queens" to describe masculinity can actually be considered homophobic.
 
It would be awesome if Facebook bought them and renamed them the Anaheim Zucks

He looked so out of place last night with Carter. Once again, Sutter trying to put a square peg in a round hole. I think if you switch Pearson and Lucic would work too.
