L.A. Times readers bid fond farewell to Kings goalie Jonathan Quick, note the Clippers are winless with Russell Westbrook and lament loss of Gavin Lux.
I am a longtime Kings fan who goes back to “Maguire’s Mess,” when we would watch in abject horror as the team traded away a first-round pick for a washed-up veteran on his last legs only to see Ray Bourque and Tom Barrasso drafted with those picks.
Take away all family happenings — birthdays, anniversaries, etc. — and Monday, June 11, 2012, is the single greatest day of my life. I know sports is a business, but waking up Wednesday morning to the news Jonathan Quick was traded was like waking up to a death in the family because for Kings fans, Quick is just that — a member of our “family.” I know Quick is a shell of his former self and with him or Pheonix Copley in net the Kings had a 0% chance of winning, or even seriously competing, for a Cup this season. At season’s end Quick was almost certainly going to retire or be released. But this still hurts and hurts a lot.
Also kudos to Helene Elliott for the great article paying respects to you and what you did and accomplished for our Kings.
