Jonathan Quick has earned prospects’ awe at Rangers camp
NY Post
Several of the Rangers who suited up in front of Jonathan Quick on Monday night in Newark were in preschool or kindergarten when the 38-year-old netminder made his NHL debut nearly 17 years ago.
Eight of them have yet to break into the league, which Quick has made his mark on as the winningest U.S.-born goalie and a three-time Stanley Cup champion with two teams.
It was probably just happenstance that Quick got a full game in the third-to-last Rangers exhibition contest on Monday, when the Devils varsity players were in Czechia for the NHL’s Global Series and turned it into a Hartford Wolf Pack-Utica Comets AHL tuneup.
But prospects don’t always get a chance to play alongside one of the best to ever do it at their position.
“It’s an honor for me to have him in the net [behind me],” Adam Sykora told The Post outside the visiting locker room at Prudential Center on Monday night, his blue eyes popping and his smile stretching at the mention of Quick.
“It’s good for me, too. I can learn from him, not as a goalie, but like personality and everything from him. It’s a good opportunity for me to learn from him a lot.”
