The Players’ Tribune published a piece written by goaltender Jonathan Quick on Wednesday, presenting a first-hand look inside the head of one of the league’s most dynamic netminders.
An excerpt from Quick's exposition:
“It always bothers me when people use this to discredit an amazing glove save, because I feel like it means that people don’t understand the beauty of my position. In the NHL, 90 percent of the save happens before the player shoots the puck. As a goalie, if you’re relying on your reaction time to make saves, you’re going to get yanked in a hurry.
