His return was a classy lovefest. I did not go, but my neighbor did and he texted me that he had tears in his eyes when the tribute and standing ovation were over.
Yes, it was a love fest alright but inquiring hockey minds do recall ALL of the past sir.
Fleury's had an amazing season. 5 goals last night doesn't mean much. The goal he allowed to Reaves was poor. Other than that he didn't have much chance. I still don't understand how Malin & Kessel got free on a 2-0 before the defenseman jumped off the bench to try to be factor. Fleury had some very big saves in that game. Murray's rebound control is still an issue. Pens are hot right now--hopefully it continues.
Don't get me wrong, I am not a MAF hater. I loved the job he did for us.
5 goals is a big deal to him. He is known for giving up 4 - 5 goals at PPG/Consol many a time and in the playoffs especially.
Glov,
MAF was done after watching the video tribute to him. If you don't feel anything watching that then your heart is made of stone. Three Stanley Cup rings all of which he was a part of. The Penguins all-time goaltender. Only you could dislike one of the most popular Penguins of all-time, a great citizen that has given back to the community and one of the best teammates any Penguin ever had.

Absolutely. I happened to be watching NHL Network when they showed the video and MAF's reaction, etc. I told my wife that will impact him. It sure did.
You sure sound like it. You're a bit harsh on the Flower. We've gone to war with Fleury and all the love shown him is justified. You're a big hockey fan and should remember what he meant to Pittsburgh as a player, teammate, and his community generosity.
Cut him some slack for all the good. He will always be a Penguin in our hearts.
Giving up 4-5 goals is easy to do behind our defense in most of those years. Fleury carried us to the playoffs 2 years ago and carried us through the first two round last year. His statistics are infinitely better this year for a reason--he actually has quality defense being played in front of him.
Fleury was livid after the game. He never shows that kind of emotion. He was probably upset at himself for the Reaves goal and upset with the lack of defense play by Vegas during the last 25-30 minutes. He made some great saves, especially early on, on Tuesday.
I'm not saying you're a hater but you're comments are far from someone that likes or supports him would say.
It would be like me pretending I don't hate Kris Letang. I can say that I don't but everything I write would say otherwise.
