Fleury played a good game. He was coming up big in the third period when the game was still 3-2. The Penguins really didn't play very well tonight, at least defensively. They made some REALLY bad turnovers all night. The third goal came right after a failed clear (I think Endicott fell down leading up to that). The fourth goal came after the rest of the team (maybe even Fleury) stopped playing hard because they thought they won.
Fleury didn't exactly come up huge, but he did what he had to do. It wasn't really a game in which he HAD to be outstanding because the offense was there. The numbers look worse than he actually did. Hopefully, he's in there against Hershey and doesn't sit again.
Yeah, Stone really impressed me last night. Apparently, Filewich had a great series too, although last night's game was the only one I actually watched. These players like these are another reason why I'm so excited about the big club's future. Not only do they have the very skilled guys like Crosby, Malkin, and even Christensen, but they've got the type fo role players you want like Armstrong, Stone, and Talbot. They're not just building a talented team, but the kind of team that wins championships. I'm especially eager to see these third line-types make it because really, when was the last time you could say the Pens actually had the right kinds of players playing on those bottom lines?
