I think that Fleury is mentally weak. You can argue that the Pens have contributed to where he is now and that they could have handled it better, but the root causes is with Fleury.
Those gifs will never not be funny. Amazing to think that guy gets paid millions of dollars for that.
We have Scudari for THREE MORE YEARS.
Shero is Hodor
Bylsma is Theon Greyjoy.
They are cherry picked and do not disprove my point. Yeah he gives up some weak goals, though was better this playoffs. My point was that under a . . . I was going to say more defensive system, but will instead say defensive at all system, would he do much better and reduce those incidents to the average for goalies (all have those happen at times)?
Unanswerable right now.
I don't think the Pens can stick with Fleury because a patented MAF meltdown is in the back of everyone's mind always. He and the Pens both need a fresh start.

Sid: Its a problem of motivation. If I work a little harder and we win this series, Dan Bylsma coaches this team another year. I've had 8 wingers these playoffs.
The Bobs: 8 Wingers?
Sid: 8, Bob.

Our dmen confidence in him might be close to an all time low.
Look at the incident between him and Määttä, Määttä never skate straight into Fleury (trying to protect him?) if he has confidence in Fleury's puckhandling skill.
I don't think we can stick with Fleury because HE CANNOT PLAY THE PUCK, cannot NOT play the puck, cannot do anything behind his net. His desire to touch the puck on every dump in creates more scoring chances for the opposition than anything else.
