I think if we can play the right way, our guys will be okay.

Any idea on who'll be in net??

flower in net. mea culpa. i have to wipe that smart smirk off of my face, but truly I thought that Sully would stick with MM, and that MAF will be a classic back up goalie.

I am really surprised. (sounds familiar this week anyway...)

That sounds awfully "get to our gamey"

****, I'm going tonight. Oh well, I'm sure Fleury will respond well to the pressure after Murray having 3 great starts in a row. He's known for being cool as a cucumber.

I'm not too concerned about Fleury playing games at this point, even though he's been subpar. You ARE allowed to start your backup.

It's a condensed schedule, Murray is young, recovering from injury, and had a very short summer considering the cup, World Cup etc. I have no problem platooning him and Fleury for the forseeable future until one proves themselves to be obviously superior. By the trade deadline we will have this sorted out.

Seriously, what "proof" more do they need?

Wild have a lot of offensive tools in their arsenal and they have the right coach to harness it, they're also due (their stars) to have a goal spurt. I'd rather see Murray in net but I am guessing Fleury gets the start and it might not end well for the Pens.

It's a home game. He'll be fine. See: 5-0-1, 2.30 GAA, .930 SV% at home -vs- 1-2-1, 4.31 GAA, .871 SV% on the road.

Hard on the puck, fast and fearless: Penguins Hockey.

i mean every coach kind of talks like that. the difference is sully's game won the cup and is proven and he actively critiques it and points out flaws, whereas bylsma's was something he just made up after winning with therrien's and he just used it as a cop out

That this is even raised as being in doubt is why some of us are scared as **** about how the Pens will resolve their goalie situation by this summer.

Added them to the OP.

What...?

I'd like to say I'm surprised that Fleury's getting the start, but I'd be lying.

To be honest, Fleury getting the start tonight isn't a big deal to me. Fleury getting the start the *next* game is.
