Dunny Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Explosive aggressiveness looks like it's back on the menu. He's listed at 6'1. I've seen him listed as tall as 6'2. He might be 6' and change. Gotta be aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valliquette was talking about Quick after the Panthers game saying how too many goalies today just make the technical save, but Quick is a throwback because after the 2nd save he's just trying to stop the puck by any means necessary. I feel like Igor lost that "by any means necessary" competitive edge, and then his confidence went out the window and he was in his head and that impacted his ability to even make the first save. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s definitely closer to 5’11” - 6’0.” I’m 5’9” and he’s barely taller than me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of sprawling left leg saves by both of them has been pretty amazing, Quick particularly. Also, really love the way Quick hugs the whole post when the puck is moving behind the net. He's like an octopus and just slithers over to the other side and melds himself to the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they'd lean in to it a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
