Fleury’s Redemption

What a game by Marc-Andre Fleury. I mean, wow. He followed up his abysmal performance in Game 5 with theis stellar performance last night, and stole Game 6 for the Penguins. You could tell he was on his game early, and that breakaway save on Cleary, that would have tied the game, was huge. This really have been an exciting series, and we all knew it had to go to Game 7.

True to my prediction, I think the Pens will manage to win Game 7, at the Joe. I can’t imagine an entire Finals where the home team wins all seven games. But the fact that the home team has won all six games so far just highlights the brilliant coaching done by both Babcock and Bylsma. Hockey is the only sport where home-ice is actually an advantage, because it’s written into the rules: the last line change. This series has been a series of matchups, with the home team always winning.

Game 7 is Friday at 8pm. You should be watching. This will be a fantastic game.
