GDT: G2 - Wild @ "Stars" - 8:30pm CT on ESPN(?)

[Jugitsu]

If Fleury is in net because Gus is tired after playing for almost 2 games, I can almost live with that. If Fleury is in net because ”cups and wins” I’m ready to run Dean over with a truck.

There is 0 chance Gus didn’t wanna go

Otter is playing, Gus can play

I mean, I don't hate Fleury, I actually really like him and enjoy his crazy style from an entertainment standpoint, but I do see a much better goalie on the bench. I think it's fair to call that out if it's true (or if you think it's true, anyway).

I agree 100%. I just think that perspective is in order.

My personal opinion is that Gus would have had 5 goals against based on the defensive play so far tonight. I didn't see the third goal against, but the rest Fleury was hung out to dry. All goals were scored in the prime scoring areas.

 

[TaLoN]

Fleury made a save!

 

[BagHead]

Honest question, has Evason ever swapped goalies in a game (excluding injuries)?

Sometimes, goalies make great saves that change momentum. Gus does that. Fleury hasn't even come close tonight

[Webster]

This game has been a disaster for Fleury, even if you can't blame him for all 6.

Gus plays the next two games, pretty sure about that.

 

[Sweetnut]

First thing BG needs to do is sign Nyqvist

 

[Spurgeon]

Even when he freezes the puck he almost gives it away to the Stars

I don’ doubt it. Players themselves don’t always no what’s best for them. The first option is the only way I can somehow stomach his decision. But if I ever f***ing hear Fleuy, wins and cups in the same sentence I’m going to lose it.

 

[TaLoN]

Good goalie on the other side, d breaks down, goalie makes big save instead of automatic goal on a high danger chance

I think MAF was pulled once or twice this year, but it really doesn't happen often.

I feel like I remember it once, but I could be wrong.

Never during a period, but has happened between

Sure, doesn't change the fact the defense hung the goalie out to dry.

Does show that a better goaltender can make unexpected saves, like Gus has done all year and on Monday night

Fluery was bad , the odds he was gonna be bad were higher than the odds Gus would be bad. Fluery broke the teams back with the soft goals. Simple as that. The team was bad , the goalie was terrible

If you need great defense in front of you to be a good goalie, you're probably not a good goalie.

Gus didn't have to deal with this bullshit defense on Monday or for most of the year. I seriously can't think of a single game that has had this many defensive breakdowns.

 

[NHL1674]

Can we please separate Kap and Zucc right now. The game is dead, so let's start experimenting and see if there is a spark with Kap and Nyquist already.

 

[Webster]

PP really stinks

He stopped 53 shots

 

[f7ben]

Kap has been absolutely f***ing terrible
