New York Rangers rookie coach David Quinn has spent most of his coaching career in the NCAA and the AHL. This season is his first tour of the NHL as a team’s head bench boss.
So someone asked him Wednesday night what it was like to watch Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin in person for the first time — specifically, to see him score twice on the power play. As the losing coach, Quinn had a word for it: “Sickening.”
It’s not as if opposing coaches and players don’t know Ovechkin is lethal on the power play.
