I actually likened the situation to the Ducks/Oilers series where the Oilers got off to a quick 2-0 series lead with Gibson looking pretty shaky and how Carlyle stuck with him and was rewarded as Gibson got better as the playoffs progressed. I felt sticking with Rinne was the right call albeit with a short leash. Again sticking with the guy that got you there paid off.

Nope. You can argue if not for Murray the Predators are celebrating winning the Stanley Cup last night or at minimum up 3-1 going back into Pittsburgh. While the Penguins were extremely advantageous in the first two games they really haven't played well and look like a tired team. That said with the games so spread out they can probably come back with a better effort at home. If they lose in Pittsburgh and Murray is just okay then you may consider going to Fleury if only out of desperation to change the tide in the series.
