And you thunk fleury is a better goalie then lundqvist?

I'd like to put him on a team with crosby/malkin/letang and see how he would do

And surley it must be a coincidence that you havent brought up the series agaisnt the flyers last year...

Bwiggy33 - Fleury has only been in 3 post seasons since winning the Cup. Not 4 or 5. On top of that you mention the elite players the Pens have and rightfully so. However since winning the cup the Pens have been plagued with many injuries during the post season. This post season seems to be the first since they won the cup in 08-09 where everyone is healthy(minus Crosby who seems to be about ready they just don't want to rush him since they are playing the Islanders).

Brestsky523 - I only think Fleury is the better playoff goalie of the two. I'm not disrespecting Lundqvist in any way. I think he is a great goalie. However not so in the post season.

I didn't say 4 or 5 postseasons. I said 4 and 5 (as in 2008 and 09) years ago is when he went to the cup, and that was the last time he's played well in the postseason. Fleury has been to the postseason 6 times, same as Lundqvist. Lundqvist by far has better numbers. IMO injuries are not an excuse for the Pens. They have had a much deeper team then the Rangers. Even if Crosby is hurt, Malkin is right there. If Malkin is hurt, Crosby is right there. Then you add in a guy like Jordan Staal who was behind those two before being traded. Oh may I add in Neal as well. I don't know if you fully realize how good your team is. You've had four guys (Crosby, Malkin, Staal, and Neal) on your team that would be the building block of many organizations in the league. May I also add that when there are injuries to a team, isn't that the time when a great playoff goalie is supposed to step up? I wouldn't say Fleury has passed the test. I really hope Pens fans cherish what they see on a night to night basis. The talent on that team is ridiculous.

Anyway to each his own. Nobody can really win an argument as they have their own opinions. This is the wrong forum to be posting in anyway, as it doesn't involve the actual video game.

NYwRiter94 - Give me a break. Fleury who has indeed been struggling lately is 11 games over .500 in the playoffs. While Lundqvist is 5 under .500. There is no comparison there. Fleruy is the better playoff goalie.

Yea , really looked good last game against the Icelanders. Umm. Great goalies don't get replaced 5 games into the series ;-(
