Fleury's career GAA and save percentage are only nominally worse than Carey Price.
Price has 612 GP, 2.48 GAA and .918
Fleury has 795 GP 2.56 and .913
Fleury has played 15+ playoff games four times and been to three finals as his team's undisputed #1. During three of those runs, he had save percentages over .920. The year he had a .908, he won the Stanley Cup.
Marc Andre Fleury is going to finish top-5 all time in wins. He's going to walk off the ice and into the Hall of Fame because he's one of the best to ever do it. If more people could do what Fleury has done, they would.
