Post-Game Talk: Bolts 4, Pens 3 (OT): The Fleury Special

[clefty]

Fleury hasn't won a big game in 7 years. Why anyone thought he could tonight after sitting out three months? ****, I don't know.

Also, big props to Letang for really stepping up with Daley out. Great game. Now rest up buddy, you've earned it. Moron.

 

[Hockeygod66]

I hope fleury's shrink cleared his schedule.

 

[ikyan]

Can't win when your highest paid d-man is your worst player.

But Fleury isn't a d-man or our highest paid player...

 

[Lustaf]

First ****ing shot

 

[Allie Kitsune]

This team always finds the most embarrassing ways to lose.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Gotta win 2 in a row. I just don't see it. Not without Daley and letang playing like an idiot

Good season I guess, but this really felt like our year.

 

[orby]

4 goals on 25 shots in a loss is not acceptable. Sorry Fleury.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Murray did nothing to lose the job and they handed it to the worst playoff goalie of his generation. I'm mad as hell that it didn't work out, but this is not a surprising outcome.

 

[ericstrat1]

Because we haven't learned in 6 years that Fleury ****ing sucks in the playoffs, when they hit 6 posts behind him and 3 goals on 24 shots. As soon as I heard MAF was starting I knew this would happen, now I'll spend all night raging instead of sleeping, thanks Sullivan for starting MAF.

 

[Gurglesons]

Do not know how we come back from this.

One goalie decision basically destroys this season. LOL

 

[vikingGoalie]

Murray has to start next game. Our frickin generational talents have to actually show up this post season. Did Crosby even play? What an awful game.

 

[billybudd]

Rust was wonderful in this game.

Kessel, Kunitz and Lovejoy were all very good.

Kris Letang was rough.

The OT goal wasn't Flower's fault, but his work in the third period probably lost us the game. If he's going to be in there, he just has to be better than he was in the third, full stop.

 

[BmxHockey]

Tampa is the better team. Props to them.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

+++ Kunitz for once
++ Maatta
+/- Sid
-------- Mental Fleury
-------- Hot head Letang

 

[Speaking Moistly]

The way we lost. Those cream puffs sucked the life out of this team. I don't know how they recover.

God knows they always freak the **** out when there's even a hint of bad playoffs Fleury. Sullivan really ****ed up tonight.

 

[dr robbie]

Well that blows.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Well, back to Murray.

 

[Killahpunk]

Letang was terrible.

Fleury doesn't inspire any confidence, this series is over.

 

[IcedCapp]

4 goals on 25 shots in a loss is not acceptable. Sorry Fleury.

Not sure why the coach (or anyone) expected different. Fleury was TRASH against Tampa this year. 4 on 25 is an upgrade from what he did, actually.

 

[FDR]

I hate to call it a classic Fleury post-season performance, but that's exactly what it was. Every time we have a lead he lets in a soft goal. He was out of position a lot and overplaying shots like he always does. Call it rust or whatever but i've seen this enough over the years to know better.

 

[KIRK]

+ Fleury

I want to blame Sully here, but I imagine there was some outside influence here.

I want to blame Sully for how he handled Sid and Geno tonight, and I will. The Fleury debacle will prevent people from noticing that his obsession on rolling four lines without the appropriate talent kills this team's chances to more consistently sustain momentum and doesn't exactly help Sid or Geno.

Mods . . . please merge the thread I started with this, or this with the thread I started. Thanks.

Good summary.

Game 6 is time to see what this team is made of.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

The desperation move backfired and now we will go back to a guy who we probably killed the confidence by replacing.

Season over.

 

[Terrapin]

Please package Letang and Fleury this summer. Maybe a mental institution will trade us some gauze pads for them

****ing joke of a team. They tried their damndest to choke away the Wash series. Now they're going to succeed.

 

[Fetty87]

I had a gut feeling on how this game was going to end and I still watched.
