Based on his fast start, has Fleury convinced you that he's an elite level goaltender that can lead his team to the Cup, again? No?
Well...
I don't think one should make sweeping generalizations based on small sample sizes, period (Maatta included). But one can be happy that we're winning games despite a depleted roster, and happy Fleury has looked very good to date.
If people deprive themselves of any sort of satisfaction until we win the Cup, it'll make for a pretty depressing year.
As for Engelland. I thought he looked surprisingly competent with the puck in the offensive zone. Though he really had no idea what he was supposed to be doing in his own end. All in all, I'd rather have a mediocre forward playing over a mediocre defenseman playing forward. But that's mostly just me, based on the "Jeffrey sux" comments.
I don't think Jeffrey sucks, but when he's had a few milquetoast games and we don't have many options, I'm not going to crucify DB for putting Engo there. He gave the line a different look.
