Just to to be clear, Jonathan Quick isn’t buying into home-ice struggles becoming any kind of “mental issue” for the New York Rangers.
Asked about that as part of a question regarding the distinct home/road disparity for the Rangers this season, the 39-year-old goalie quickly (pun, sort of, intended) dismissed the notion.
“I think you’re thinking too much about that, yeah,” Quick said Tuesday after practice.
Others, including coach Mike Sullivan and captain J.T. Miller, expressed over the past weeks and months that New York’s struggles at Madison Square Garden are as much mental as physical.
