Eight years from Quick's debut

Eight years ago to the day, Jonathan Quick made his NHL debut with the Kings in the club's 8-2 vcitory over the Buffalo Sabres at STAPLES Center.

The Kings, 10-15-2 (22 PTS) coming into the game on December 6, 2008, sat dead-last in the Pacific Division and Western Conference, and 29th out of 30 teams in the NHL.

NHL debuts can’t be easy, and the nerves have to be unbearable, but for Quick that night, the Kings built a 7-0 lead on the Sabres through the midway point of the game with a flurry of goals on Buffalo’s Jocelyn Thibault and Ryan Miller.
