Caps got into Fleury's kitchen, made a delicious steak dinner, and then made him clean up the dishes.
The Jets didn't make his life difficult with screens and contact like Washington did.
It's been mentioned on numerous occasions but that Holtby save in the dying minutes of game 2 was the turning point
More like Fleury turned into the player the Pens thought they were getting rid of.
I actually thought Fleury played worse (eye test only, not on paper) against the Sharks than he did against the Caps. He gave up more weaker goals against the Sharks than he did against Washington and the Washington series was getting even with that. I don't think there were many goals against Washington that he should have had, but I thought the game winner last night was one of them.
The problem with the Sharks series was that Jones gave up even more worse goals than Fleury, even though the Sharks outplayed the VGK and that was the difference in the series. Even in one of the games the Sharks won (the other was a shutout for Jones in a blowout win) they had to win in spite of Jones in OT, who allowed 2 brutal goals in regulation to keep them in it. Jones only allowed 2 goals in game 6, but both were at least stoppable goals. This is why Jones is the most overrated goaltender in the league and I'll street fight anybody who argues that he's top 10 anything. Craig Anderson was getting a little too overrated back in 2013, then the next year he was being really underrated after having a mediocre year the next season. He went from being called ''Top
Although the most overrated everything changes every year. A couple years ago the Habs were the most overrated team in hockey, now they're a joke and no one thinks they're any good. Bishop was the most overrated goaltender in the league a couple years ago, most don't really think he's that good anymore. Especially since he hasn't been to the playoffs the last two years. Murray was pretty overrated 1-2 years ago, but he kind of deserved it. He was off to the greatest start any goalie has had to his NHL career since maybe Roy or Marty. Mike Smith was way overrated back in 2012 or 2013. Craig Anderson was getting a little too overrated back in 2013, then the next year he was being really underrated after having a mediocre year the next season. He went from being called ''Top 3 goalie in the world'' to being called one of the worst in the league the next year.
