Congratulations Jonathan Quick 3rd Most Wins amongst American Goalies

[K-Man #32]

I just wanted to give a shout out to my favorite hockey player of all time becoming the 3rd most winningest goalie amongst American born players. No matter what the haters say you are the greatest ever and you will turn this rough season around.
We all love you Quickie. You are the best goalie to ever revolutionize the goaltending position.

I remember in 2012 after the cup, I was stationed in Idaho. They mentioned a player signing with Quick. I wore his jersey through the whole playoffs, watching from home. I saw notice of the signing here on LGK, with about.. 15 hours notice. I immediately took a day of leave (USAF) and.. started the 14 hour drive. We drove overnight straight to the event, which was like at 9am. We showed up dead f-ing tired. I was wearing pajamas, which I'm a tad embarrassed about because I got a picture with him, but we had no time to change and I ain't driving 14 hours in jeans. In the line I bought a quite large print someone was selling of him holding the cup. He signed my jersey, and the print. He said "you look dead tired" and I told him what we did and he thanked me for my service and was humbled that I made such an effort just to come meet him. He was real cool. No cups in '12-'14 without Quick. Also my favorite player. I wear the jersey every playoffs still (the purple one).

Great story - that’s awesome dedication.

Great story - that’s awesome dedication.

Ha, it was a fun year that I have a lot of stories about. Getting to games 4 and 6 was almost more demanding. It was all so worth it, and the funnest summer of my life. We even made the rally (my avatar) and parade. It was all so great.
