The curtain may be closing on an era of hockey, one principally shaped by iconic goalkeepers like Jonathan Quick, Carey Price, and Henrik Lundqvist. With Quick's trio of Stanley Cups heralding a distinct period, the closure of this chapter seems imminent.
As the Rangers finalize their opening night roster, an unexpected maneuver has been executed. The summoning of goalie prospect Dylan Garand to the competition underscores the intensifying battle to secure the position as Igor Shesterkin's understudy.
The stage is set: if Garand can overshadow Quick, whose recent performances have arguably been less than stellar, this might signal the end.
Jonathan Quick's 753 NHL appearances, a mere 10 of which were not with the LA Kings, will forever remain a notable statistic in hockey history. Should this mark his retirement, a return to Crypto.com Arena to see his achievements honored overhead is likely.
