Fleury showed why he has elite #1 ability. One game never shows pure #1.
Truth. He's not an an elite goalie until he's got a season's worth of numbers to prove it. That said, if he plays well, "well" might be good enough to compete for a Cup and that's what matters. See also: years of not-elite goalies competing for and sometimes winning Cups with Detroit, Tim Thomas, etc.
There are really only a very small handful of guys who you know are going to be statistically excellent every year, so it's not a requirement. Right now those guys are basically: Lundqvist, Quick, Rinne, sometimes Luongo. Maybe Howard going forward. And even they have their bad streaks where they're playing like **** for a few games on end.
I just want Fleury to be a consistent, stable presence back there who doesn't look all world one game and like a seive the next. If he can be Top 10 statistically every year, that's more than good enough for me even if he's always closer to 10 than 1.
