Quick is hot right now. Somehow I see a rematch coming on IF the Kings reach the play-offs.

Kings in general are hot right now, they look like the Kings that won cups.

Another match up is Exactly what I want. I have always been a fan of the Kings but thats not why I hope to see them in the playoffs again. Argument can be made that the Hawks and King have been the best NHL teams the last 5 years. Lets get these two teams again in the playoffs and settle who is the best!!

With several more games showing this trend any more theories or opinions on specifics that have changed in the Blackhawks defense?

Every guy doing a little more mean better team? Especially defense?

He's started the last 10 Kings games. 22 GA, which basically boils down to a 2.20 GAA for the team (2 SO in those 10 games), yet they're 5-3-2 in that span. More or less what the Blackhawks were experiencing in February with the lack of offense.
The D has helped by limiting how many pucks Quick sees. If he sees 30-40 shots, chances are they're heading into the loss column (he rarely sees more than 32 SOG).
