I don't know if both pages are Fleury talk, but that is as far as I have gotten.
FLeury hasn't given up that many WEAK goals this year... he gives up untimely goals. The past two games he played, his play during the 2nd kept the Penguins alive. His positioning is off and rebound control is bad and he doesn't play a full 60 minutes.. those are his issues.
The Pens are having a difficult time defending plays that start behind their goal... and we give up a few great short handed chances a game.
Fleury is not the only reason why he has yet to win a game this year.
Johnson is just playing unbelievable hockey... which makes Fleury look even worse on the surface.

Every team in the league has injuries. The Penguins will have to do the same thing everyone else in the league does. Play through them.

Fleury has in fact won a game this year, it's just that his other five starts he has lost. Not to mention, he's giving up at least three goals a game. And I disagree with the type of goals he's surrendering. Too often he's been caught cheating of a post or not getting his pads down on soft shots on the ice. Carrillo's goal last week comes to mind.

The day I feel sorry for the Penguins will probably never come.

sorry for my pessimism. Losing Staal two days before he's about ready to make his season debut to another injury just pissed me off. Not only to lose him, but for another month and a half.... suxs.

Pretty much...lol
Although your team does have more SC's then the Pens do so you've got that going for you.
And at least your team has won SC's.

For some reason I thought I should put regulation win, but thought folks wouldn't dwell on it... oh well.
And I agree, that Carcillo goal and the game winner he let in against the Habs were bad goals.. he let in some questionable goals, the wrist shot from between the circle, but some of that goes to the shooter as well... hey, I am a huge Fleury critic, my preseason thread should make that obvious... he is under performing but not nearly as bad as some think he is... agian, I only think he has given up two bad goals.
The Pens defense has been lacking and Johnson is playng out of his mind.

Hehe! Both his teams have cups, at least that's what I gather from his handle. One of them had one of the most dynamic dynasties the NHL has ever seen!

I agree with that to an extent. Surrendering 2 short-handed goals this early in the season certainly can't be pinned on the goal-tender. That's just poor management of the powerplay. MAF's inconsistency just sickens me, though. In less than two years time, he has regressed by quite a lot. He has tons a talent and still has a pretty high ceiling considering his age... but with the amount of money they have tied up in him, it's very disappointing to see.

I was mad at the time, but now I think it's kind of funny. Who can blame him, if it weren't for that slash his only claims to fame would be having his jaw wired shut and getting his testes mangled.

The DaBolts part of my handle is for the San Diego Chargers. My favorite team in the Western Conference is the Ducks & they do have a cup so you were half right.

I don't believe you. It must be fan support.

hey... If I can cling to 1915, you can certainly proudly point to 1927. :p
