I didn't really blame him too much for those 3, do you?

shh we can't bring up the fact that Vokoun started Game 5 of the Islanders series after not playing for weeks and posted a solid win in Game 6 when the rest of the team looked like they wanted a Game 7 home game against the 8th seed team.

Do you blame Fleury for the Bergeron goal? That was nearly identical to the Krejci goal. Do you blame Fleury for the Marchand goal when all Matt Cooke had to do was stick with his man?

Vokoun came in to a team who actually played defense and dictated the game.
I think some of you take this way too seriously. No need for the snark.

Not too much, no. The Marchand goal was soft-ish. The Seidenberg was an unscreened slapper from the blue line along the boards. I think I said in the GDT that I was willing to give him the Game 3 start until that one.
In sum, he let the two softest of six goals allowed on the night. Hard to justify playing him. But sure, your overall point, that the issue in this series thus far has not been goaltending I agree with.

I could really care less who starts, and I don't really care that I don't care (so, as a general point, don't tell me "I can't believe you'd rather have Fleury!").
It won't matter who is in net if the team continues to play porous defense.

IIRC the Isles dominated the early part of that game and he shut the door. The shots in that game were about even too, we might have had them by a couple, but I think you're underestimating his performance in that game.
EDIT: Just looked it up, Isles outshot us 14-7 in the first period in that game and shots were 31-31 at final.

OK. Don't get mad at me.

If I'm not mistaken Fleury had a three-game point streak. Didn't he score on the Pens in Games 2, 3, & 4?
