2. The islanders were no offensive slouch, I contend the penguins defense imploded, as did the sens.
Couple of other things
-going to vokoun was the right move, team needed a wake up call.
-staying with vokoun is the right move, team is winning.
-fleury would have won the sens series in 4 or 5 games, team played that well.
-vokoun would not have fared much better on games 2-4 against isles, team played that badly

This is essentially the "it's just one game!" argument. Reasonable people don't jump to conclusions based on one occurrence. When things become a pattern, that's when you get concerned. Fleury's playoff duds have become the norm. Has he been the only problem, no, but he's been a big one and a correctable one as we've seen since Vokoun replaced him.

An .884 save percentage against the penguins. A total meltdown. Obviously his defense lost confidence in him and because of that they couldn't play well in front of him. Too many soft goals like the Malkin breakaway, and the Neal toe drag shot... eventually you have to wonder if the defense of Ottawa would have been better off just having a garbage can in net. Craig Anderson is a headcase - a playoff choker - and should be bought out or traded by Ottawa this offseason. If the team loses confidence in you - obviously they can't play well on the ice.
Yes, that's dripping with sarcasm - but it's something a Penguin fan might say in Ottawa right now. Ottawa had no offense, and defensively broke down - and their goalie looked bad because of it.
