I understand that MAF has had success with the Penguins but after losing the starting role like that I would certianly question whether the "40 wins per year" are because of Fleury or in spite of him.

I couldn't agree more, and I stated in the CF thread that I was 100% sure that Fleury would be bought out. You would think that after his embarassing performance against the Flyers last year, and his lacklustre follow-up this year, that he would be shipped out of town ASAP. It's not like the Pens are similar to the Flames or Oilers where a goalie who can get you to the playoffs is sufficient. That team is built to compete for the Cup, and I just don't think that Fleury is capable of leading them there. And I also think that the room likely has very little confidence in him.
You would think that Mario has to be on board with these decisions. I just don't understand the thought process at all. How you can say "we're all good with what we have" after that beating is just unfathomable to me.
