Of course Kevin Shattenkirk remembered the day that David Quinn scratched him as a player for the AHL Lake Erie Monsters, and of course the current Rangers defenseman brought it up when his longtime friend was hired to be the 35th coach in Blueshirts history.
“I got scratched, and it was a moment where it was my first year playing pro, and I thought I was a first-round draft pick and it’s only a matter of time [to get called up],” Shattenkirk told The Post in a rare quiet moment during Quinn’s introductory press conference at the Garden on Thursday.
