This situation is painful. Since the trade was announced I've not heard a word from Quick - and am glad we are able to. I heard him talk more in that interview than I think I've ever heard him talk, lol.
He choked up about 5 times. Doesn't help that was the reporters' intention. Referring to the Kings as "we", the shock factor, mentioning twice that they felt they needed to "move on without him, so he has to move on" was very painful. Will always be the biggest Quick fan. Just not the biggest VGK fan. I hope he catches up in his game and gets to play more there and finish his career how he wants. I still feel the LA Kings really did him wrong with the trade and how it was handled, and the interview confirms my suspicions. I understand the team/business aspect, and preferred seeing Copley play this year, obviously, but it still hurts. This sucks. Hard.
