GDT: Pens vs Golden Knights

[Ad@m]

Marc-Andre Fleury has never posted a regular-season shutout against CBJ, DAL, MIN, STL and VGK.

Oh and get JMFJ out of here. It was painful watching the breakdown of Vegas’ goal where he made the decision to go behind the net instead of staying with his man or getting in position to defend a possible back door pass. Really bad stuff.

Some interesting things that Yohe wrote in The Athletic this morning about Fleury:

--MAF dropped by unannounced to Sid's house after the game on Friday night and hung out.
--Did a pregame run with the media (which goalies rarely do now) about coming back to Pittsburgh
--Made the rounds in the Penguins offices
--Had the exchange with Letang after the pregame warmups (caught on broadcast during game)
--Told Hornqvist after one exchange, "You couldn't score on me in practice either."
--Just about admitted that he took the mask off on that 2nd period crease scramble. Said that end of the arena was a bit of a wind tunnel.

Sucked to lose last night but in the context of injuries and a 5-game winning streak and the way that Fleury was stealing shots left and right, It was good to see him have a decent game on his return home.

Fleury will always be a Penguin in my eyes.
