If ever there was a time when the Kings needed a blockbuster game from Quick, tonight was the night.
He failed.
There must be a reason Sutter started Quick in back-to-back games – I’m still trying to figure out what that reason is? Pluto aligning with Uranus?
Quick’s save percentage is absolutely atrocious. The defense was going to be tired and he needed to be…
Aw, forget it. It’s one loss. I’m going to bed
I sit behind JQ one peroid every home game. He can not get back in position like he used to.
Yeah I’ve noticed the same thing. What’s up with that? He makes one stop then he’s toast. Last year, he would make one stop after another, stopping 2 or 3 rebounds in a matter of seconds. He needs to refocus, Kings can’t afford to have him off his game…
7 games in 10 nights.
The defense was nowhere to be found. Back to back plus travel, why didn’t Bernier start?
On another note there’s an article about Clune on ESPN: http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/9045231/nhl-nashville-predators-rich-clune-long-road-recovery
“He recalls netminder Jonathan Bernier, now the Kings’ backup, looking at him with disgust.
“He just said, ‘You’re a piece of [expletive],’” Clune recalled.”
The Kings won’t go far in the playoffs, if they make it, with this defense. The learning curve is one thing, shabby play from A mart, Drewskie, even Ellerby is overmatched sometimes. If the trade winds are blowing with Buffalo or another team, hopefully it’s D we are after. Robin Regher would be a great addition, as some people are alluding to. Sutter has them ready to play most nights, last night just couldn’t bring it.

I wonder if his surgery didn’t go well?
