Teemu Pulkkinen II: Re-signed 1 year 735k

That's like textbook "how to score on NHL goalies". Getting the goalie moving, having people in front of the net, one-timer. We didn't see that type of perfect set up for Pulkk's on the one-timer too many times last season.

It was a nice setup, yes, but it looks to me like Fleury was fine there. He had just about stabilized his lateral movement by the time Pulks touched the puck. Jurco blocked the vision towards Kronwall and couldn't move fast enough to cover the side. I'd say Fleury got burned because the shot was a little fast combined with the additional one-timer spin and didn't expect that from a young new guy in the league. I'm sure he will remember that goal and focus more seriously next time. A shot like that should be well inside the ability of a goalie like Fleury to catch.

The pass from Kronwall was quite slow. Pulks has a very slow windup. When/if both of those elements happen at a very rapid rate the cannon of a shot will start to rack up goals.
