Oh, yeah....
I almost forgot. Marc-Andre Fleury wasn't stand-on-his-head-sensational by stealing a game by stopping every puck, but he hardly looked like a goaltender under duress (despite the putrid quality of defense in front of him). Despite the fact that he only won 1 game,his team only won 1 game, and he kept the scores closer than they should have been when the Pens were ridiculously outshot and outchanced.
Every goaltender gets the "He can't win the big one" until he does, in fact, win the Cup.
But, in his first taste of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Fleury gave no indication that he lacks the physical skill or mental fortitude to backstop a team (that will, overall, be better than this year's team) to a Cup at some point in the future.
