In his last 10 games, he had an .878 save percentage and a goals against average over 3.2. His last 6 games were particularly poor, with just 1 win and an .833 save%. And let's look at before that when we had to have games to stay in the playoff hunt. It was L after L. And with that it was giving up 3rd period leads. I get that both goalies did that, but, Fleury has a reputation of showing up big in big games. I thought he looked really good vs. Boston, but I'm not sure I can find other games against best competition where he shined. He certainly couldn't get us wins vs. Winnipeg. Or Dallas. Or St. Louis. Fleury played well against bottom 10 teams, but that was pretty much it. My eyes told me his reflexes were starting to go, and a goalie his size has to have his reflexes or he's toast. He can still retire and we recoup his $2.5m before the start of the season. We won't be able to use that money for much initially, but it grows substantially if we bank it and use it at the TDL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gustavsson had a .908 save percentage in his last 20 appearances, and almost all of his losses came against playoff teams like Colorado(3 games against the #1 offense), Nashville, or Carolina. Gus did lose one to Anaheim, but have to put some of that on the team when they cannot muster any goals against a bottom 3 team despite 5 PP opportunities. Fleury was sheltered by not facing top 10 offenses nearly as frequently and he still posted worse results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Gus? (Include injuries between the ears) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have refused to go this route, and Goligoski has retired thus putting Goose2 into the Goose position. 35 minutes ago, FredJohnson said: And Gus? (Include injuries between the ears) Precisely. He was hurt short term last season too. My point is that we're going to need all 3. Hopefully they all don't decide to get injured at the same time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
