Fleury

Columbus is coming off a 6-5 victory over Edmonton last night.  I'd expect to see Gustavsson in net, but who knows.  Pretty much the same lineup we had against Toronto.  

[ClusterChuck]

CBJ found the back of the net a lot last night. Maybe they used themselves up a bit for today but I'm no way expecting another 2-0 SO.
If Gustav in net, Wild win 4-2
Fleury...4-3
1 day off and we're back to the bubble edge. Av's on the move.

[Tomdog]

Well it is the mandofleurian promotion so I guess we will see fleury in net. 
Not happy. 

[wildstars95]

 someone want to wake the crowd up from this snoozefest ...4-2 wild

[ClusterChuck]

Fleury save the first shot on him so a Plus.

I am almost hoping that Fleury plays bad just so they don't start playing him more

[MNSOTA]

Anyone who studied German has to be cringing with the pronunciation of Bayreuther’s name.

 isn't it more like bahy-roiter

[ClusterChuck]

If BG is "OK" with doing nothing trade wise from here on makes me fear he might try to work out a way to keep Dumba.

Ja wohl! Bayreuth is where Wagner wrote/performed his operas. 

[bbgarnett]

I have also looked at other videos on YouTube from other teams feeds including Columbus and they pronounce it like Lapanta and Carter are 

[bbgarnett]

Greenway probably heard that the Sharks have interest in him, so was like I better start playing better so I don't get traded there.

Yeah I’m not surprised by how they’re saying it, but just know they’re all completely wrong. And I suppose Bayreuter’s people have been in North America so long, that it’s morphed into what it’s become. It’s a miracle that the spelling hasn’t changed over the years. My own last name somehow gained an extra letter that isn’t there back in Cornwall. And that extra letter means I have to spell my name and pronounce my name otherwise it’s messed up. 

[ClusterChuck]

Boldy seems to be back to fighting the puck the last 5+ games. Everything in his feet and not the smooth plays he normally can do.

[ClusterChuck]

Oops 

[ClusterChuck]

LOL @ him complaining about the slash.

in one of my 8th grade classes there was another girl with the same last name spelling Meier vs Meyer and the teacher looking at his class roll sheet goes oh are you related.
