Fleury: “Bottom line I didn’t make any good key saves in the game. …Gus played excellent that last game, and it was a long one. I wish I could have stepped up and give him a break and give him the win to keep going here.”

One thing I will give Fleury is he seems very aware of his situation. Like he didn’t cause that loss, but he didn’t help and he knows it.
Guess even the man himself agrees with me. Get that nice old man on the bench.
Feels like he’s had a lot of similar quotes like this all season. I wonder what Gus thinks when he sees Fleury’s erratic style of play?
And this is why I love this man regardless of performance.. he’s aware of everything and always seems to say the right thing..
He knew Gus needed a break and according to this seems to take some responsibility for some of the goals..
That being said, I really don’t feel confident when Flower is in net sometimes.. not all the time.. but when shit gets chippy and he starts sliding around in the crease, I get this sinking feeling in my stomach before anything happens.. like he gets out of position a lot and when he can make a save while diving to get back into position it looks awesome.. but Gus just doesn’t ever get out of position like that.. ya know?
He knows
