Hollywood Blvd. News – Los Angeles Kings Edition
- Updated: July 30, 2015
I must admit, The Players’ Tribune has become one of my favorite publications. To give athletes their own voice, not one that we use for them is a really revolutionary thing. The latest one to catch my eye is Jonathan Quick‘s article entitled “Elite Snipers 101.”
Within the Kings’ goalie gives us his thoughts on not only what it takes to be who he is but also a breakdown of some of the players who have caught his eye, and yes he does mention some Ducks (Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry).
The article is so interesting and full of knowledge that I don’t want to spoil it for you. I do, however, really encourage you to read his piece (YES that means you too Ducks fans).
I’ll leave you with one of the last paragraphs in his article:
“If Anaheim is hard minutes physically, Chicago is hard minutes mentally. You have to constantly be tracking the movements of Kane and Toews because you’re paranoid that Kane is going to float back door and Toews is going to know he’s there without even looking up. And I think that’s why hockey is such an interesting game to break down. Most people think of hockey as this brutal game (and it definitely can feel that way when you get hit with a Shea Weber slap shot below the belt) but it’s really a mental game more than anything. Chicago has won three of the last six Stanley Cups. Kane and Toews aren’t the biggest guys in the world, but they’re incredibly intelligent, mentally tough and have amazing intuition when playing together.”
