from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
"Just unbelievable," San Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton said after his goalie's heroic performance in a 4-2, Game 5 victory on Thursday over the Pittsburgh Penguins that extended San Jose's season.
"You know, he's been doing it all year. Just not tonight, he does it every game for us. He's just a stud for us."
With his counterpart, Matt Murray, drawing comparisons to Ken Dryden because of their similarly magnificent rookie playoffs, it was Jones channeling his inner Johnny Bower, his 44 saves the most in a Stanley Cup finals regulation game since the former Toronto Maple Leafs great made 43 in Game 2 of the 1967 finals.
So, there's that.
"Yeah, that was unbelievable," Sharks defenseman Justin Braun said. "He's calm, he doesn't flinch, he doesn't go after guys, he doesn't lose his cool. He's always tapping us on the pads saying we did a good job, and he's usually bailing us out. He was great to watch tonight, but we've got to give him a little more help."
