After watching the performance of Halak and Rask so far, anybody wanna rethink their position on young, inexperienced goaltenders in the post-season?

And Niemi had two shutouts in the first round.

Did we forget Cam Ward winning the cup his rookie year or how Miller played that year also?

Fleury's first year they went to the cup was still amazing with a .933 sv%.

It's not about how a goalie plays, it's how the team plays, last year Fleury has a dismal .906 sv% in the playoffs, Luongo right now has a sub .900 yet still won their first series.


Is it the goalies playing hot, or the better team winning?

Except with Montreal, that was honestly all Halak.

.908 save percentage. and thats not dismal.

Compared to his .933 the year before, yes that is.

But his team won the cup for him.

its a team effort, he was a very huge reason why they won a cup.

To me no, if it wasn't for Crosby and Malkin both putting up 30 points a piece, they would have been done.

You of all people should already know I don't like Fleury's game still.

Without Fleury making that save as time expired on Lidstrom, the Pens go to OT and lose to a scary Red Wings team.

.906 save percentage is dismal? You're too young to remember, but not too lomg ago, that would have been considered really good numbers. I'd still argue it's about average, even for this era. But before the Roy, then Brodeur/Hasek eras, .900 save percentage would be all-star like numbers.

I try every night to forget that abomination.

Without Gill and Scuderi in game 6 and game 7 the Wings win also.

I don't care, I still don't like Fleury's play, and no one will change that, unless he shows he really is an amazing goalie.

I'm allowed to not like players.

But true .908 isn't dismal, but is barely average now.
