Vegas have been out-matched the last couple of games. Their goalie have been left alone way too much. This isn't on him.

I remember Murray looking real lousy against the Sharks and letting up some Charmin soft goals.
His team bailed him out. Vegas has been outplayed. The game doesn't hinge on one player.
When Ovechkin scored after Fleury stopped 4 shots [some being incredible saves] I knew this series was over.

There's moments in a game and/or series where you just know a certain team will win. Examples:
Lidstrom goal on Cloutier; Gomez disallowed goal in game 6 in 01, followed by Footes goal from the blue line; Messier hit on Potvin; Ovi's goal was that moment.
But the above poster is correct about the Pens having a few more cups possibly. MAF was abysmal in 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014.

People would much rather attack fleury than admit that the Caps are just a damn good team these playoffs

A Penguins fan who hates on Fleury is not a true Penguins fan . That dude is loved in Pittsburgh; he helped win you three Cups. Three . And it's not like he asked to leave Pittsburgh.
That's like Oiler fans hating on Ryan Smyth because we dealt him to the Islanders. And how many cups did he help us win? Please refresh my memory .
Christ, some people...

Grubauer got Washington into the playoffs and after two bad games was benched.
It may be time for a change in Vegas.

No chance. Gallant and Vegas will live and die with MAF.

Given that they went through more goalies this season than any other team...

Who knows, maybe I am wrong. I just don't see MAF not starting Thursday.
Was Ryan Smyth ever considered one of the worst playoff performers ever, like Fleury was? Then your comparison would make sense.

Yeah, Fleury is at fault for the constant defensive breakdowns. Also for his poor vision in the offensive zone and horrible shot selection. Bad pinches and bad reads in the neutral zone.
Oh wait, there are 5 other skaters on the ice other than Fleury, and have left him out to dry on multiple goals.

This has to be sarcasm, right?
You think Gallant is gonna get fired for starting Fleury next game?
We are a freakin expansion team and are not even supposed to be here. Gallant has the Jack Adams on lockdown. This is perhaps the greatest over-achievement in the history of professional sports!

Grubauer was also never the guy in Washington. He was the backup they used until they couldn't.

Have you seen some of the quality shots he's been up against.
I mean, I get the argument that he plays aggressive and maybe he should adjust his game slightly due to the defensive lapses. But there is also no excuse on these cross-ice passes to the open shooter time and time again. How many goals have been scored by that open shooter?

This, so much this.
If Neal dosen't hit the post and scores that empty netter last game this is a totally different game. Puck luck has been on WSH side.
he's been a lot lot better than rinne who was god awful when the chips were down.
and he's still playing, he still has a chance ( slim as it is) to turn it around. rinne and hellebuck, not so much. If the vegas defense plays better, fleury could still be the difference.
on an elimination game you want to throw your second stringer to the lions and hope for the best ????????
yikes !
