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.
Yeah he's had some down times over his career but that happens whey you play for a very long time. He's accomplished far more than Carey Price over his NHL career and I said it with Vernon and I will say it again; Any goaltender that wins a Stanley Cup and makes multiple trips to the Stanley Cup finals as a starter with different teams is a really good goaltender. You may get lucky one season on one team that goes on a run but the Stanley Cup is to hard to win and no goaltender lucks himself into multiple SC final appearances with different teams nonetheless.
