Ok but this ignores the fact that Flower is washed and Gus is the goalie of the future /s

This one made me chuckle, well done.
I imagine we see this happening due to expectations. A future HoFer vs a backup nobody really expected to do as well as he has been doing. Especially when he hasn’t even played for weeks

One is making 3.5-4 mil, the other the league minimum I think. But no goalie is any good if the defense decides not to show up.

It has been this way on this sub for every goalie/backup combo since after Harding went down. I don’t know what it is about goalies specifically, but this sub absolutely loves backup goalies.

Gus spent more than half his career to date being bounced back and forth to the AHL by the senators. Flowerboy is a historically talented goalie. Expecting the same things from both is disrespectful *to* both.

Vs. the Coyotes (17-28-6)
Vs. the Stars (30-13-10)

Probably because lately Fleury is giving up 3 goals by bad rebound control and being out of position and Gus is giving up 3 goals because the defense is playing like trash in front of him. At least the last couple months it’s been this way.

This is unequivocally wrong. MAF let’s 6 goals in and this sub justifies It each and every single one. Its the defense blah blah blah. Makes me sick sometimes

If you talk shit about MAF on this sub you are instantly downvoted. For MAF, that would be 3 goals in the first period. “Ohhhh but it’s not his fault, Middleton was out of position” like it’s non stop. It’s like being in the Vikings sub and not being able to criticize kirko

Sens fan here… just want to say that I’m glad you’re taking care of Gus the Bus!

While it is funny I think both our goalies are great and people need to stop trying to hate on one or the other.

You realize SV% is widely variable, right?? Like, all saves aren’t even?

Gus > flower this season. I hope we see more of a split going forward and if we make playoffs we go with the hotter goalie vs. the veteran.

Gus has been better than Fluery this season thus far (every stat backs this up). Gus should be getting more starts than Fluery. Apparently this a mega hot take on this subreddit.

I know this is just a meme but its so near-sighted.
Fluery does it against Arizona, where one of the goals is 10-ply.
Gustavsson does it against the team leading the West, where the shots were considerably higher quality.

There are way more people on the sub yelling about people yelling about Fleury than there are people yelling about Fleury, lol.
