Most hockey fans and analysts are not calling for the Pens to trade Fleury / look for a new goalie / etc. And most Penguins fans are comfortable moving forward with him. Flyers scored almost exactly half their goals on a PP or into an empty net (14 of 30 - 12 PPGs, 2 ENGs). Did Fleury have a rough series? Yeah. He had a few softies. He also had about 20 backdoor tap ins or breakaways too. But I trust him at this point in his career to be a professional and buckle down and work hard at righting his fundamentals ship and coming back stronger and more determined than ever next Spring. And can't hurt that Ray Shero will throw overboard at least one of the teamkillers that was shooting cannon holes into Fleury's ship by being constantly useless.

Honestly, the Penguins defensive performance was so bad that when the players would idly stand there - not blocking a lane, not tying up a man - that they were worse than traffic cones. Because, at least if they were traffic cones, they'd be orange, and they might blend in and the Flyers might accidentally pass the puck into one of them.

He's said he still needs 1-2 months to complete the deal, and I don't think the NHL is willing to wait that long.

The former San Jose Sharks CEO still has several steps to take before a purchase of the team from the National Hockey League. That includes finding the remaining investors to finance his bid, gaining NHL approval and working out a lease deal and payments from the city of Glendale.

Does anyone have a short clip of the penalty hit tonight? I was driving home when it happened and only got to hear the stupid Phoenix sports announcer talk about it like it was worse than the one Torres delivered.

Sam Gagner will be rated 70~ish in NHL13, and then one random game all stats 99.

Gonna be an interesting off-season for a few teams I'd imagine.

NO! KEEP THE OFFSEASON TALK OUT TILL AFTER THE FINALS!

i need to prefect my manifesto.

**Callisto** · 2012-04-23 23:08

I think honestly the worst part about tonight is knowing exactly how it would turn out after that PP in the first period. They came roaring out of the gate, outplayed PHX massively and just could not get the puck in. As soon as they shit that bed on that first PP the game was over.

**Richybear** · 2012-04-23 23:08

But... but... my offseason started at a time known as the All Star Break.

**Ace-o-fire** · 2012-04-23 23:10

NHL offseason, after-all we still don't know draft order yet nor who is available on the FA market.

Your off-season started and has been going on since you lost game 7 of the SCF in 06

Fuck that I'll bandwagon the fuck out of any team your team is playing.

if 0 + 1 = 1, but 1 / 2 = .5, how is there .5 coyotes fans?

**Mazmaz** · 2012-04-23 23:37

That was the stupidest way to do that math...

**Palin** · 2012-04-23 23:38

So I can get a NJD ticket tomorrow for $27 bucks. Do I care enough about trolling the Devs to pay that plus the $10 New Jersey Transit ride? Hmmmm....

Nah, I'll say we're all pretty lucky for the NBC deal, Pierre aside we all can watch every game still at least. I'll be following Preds/Cats closely.
