Yeah, there is no way he choked in that game. Watching that game, Fleury prevented that game from being 12-3. Some of the saves he made were rediculous. 2 on 1's, 2 man advantages, it was rediculous. The sens had 30 shots on goal after the second period. Most teams get that in an entire game. The Penguins completely played with their heads up their asses. And it's Therrien's job to pull them out. I think they can blame that loss on coaching more than anything, and the inablility to respond.
I was so pissed off when the refs went back and reverved crosby's goal in the second period. That was clearly a goal and should've actually been a tripping call. The defensman's stick hooked crosby's skate and pulled it under his body. That was the skate that knocked the puck into the net. There was absolutely no evidence of a kicking motion there at all. Let alone to reverse a call already on the ice. Pittsburgh was actually starting to respond with some high speed play and that completely killed their momentum.
Case in point, Ottawa played a hell of a game, and Pittsburgh as a team played like complete shit. That game is not going to be an indication of the series. Remember Pittsburgh won the season series 3-1. The team as a whole fucked up. I still have pittsburgh over ottawa in my bracket, and it's going to be a great series. Pittsburgh in 7.
