Ya just knew Dean was going to figure out a way to justify getting Fleury playing time...

 

Dean's Game #2 decision justification was more or less, this is what we've done all year.  Then when asked if that's different in the playoffs, but he couldn't really come up with any sort of sensible answer.  Like Joe Smith implied, they felt they were the smartest guys in the room.  Ever see this team act that way before?!?!

Hmmm...dailyfaceoff seems to agree...Fleury IS in.
I don't know about this move....

Maybe Minnesota planned on Rolosoning and Fernandezing the two goalies all along, but when Gus has been in the zone like he has, why replace him??

 

It was a huge Evason mistake to place Fleury in game#2. Probably we would be now in a better standing position these series (maybe 3:1), or at least we would not lose with an embarrassing score like we did with Fleury that game. And the team's winning mentality would be better too. How we placed Fleury against Oettinger when their GAA so different?
