Determined to win and the 'ultimate team player,' Jonathan Quick played a central role in transforming the Kings into Stanley Cup winners.
Jonathan Quick led the Kings to two Stanley Cup championships, but for them to contend again the front office needed to make changes., I don’t know when and how but I know he told the team, ‘That’s it. We’re shutting the door. We’re turning it around.’ And we know what happened.”
Unlike many of his peers, Quick never yelled at teammates who obscured his view or made his job tougher. He’d fire the puck past the ear of someone who scored on him in practice and he’d sometimes smash his stick against the post in frustration, but he never pointed fingers during games. Robitaille admired that too. “That’s what made him so loved by his teammates. He was the ultimate team player,” Robitaille said.
According to Robitaille, Quick, Doughty, Kopitar and recently retired Dustin Brown — the core of the Cup teams — will receive special recognition when they’re done. “And I don’t know when that will be. And good for Quickie. He’ll play as long as he can,” Robitaille said. “I told him that: play as long as you can. There’s nothing better.”
