EC Playoffs Round 1: Pittsburgh Penguins vs Columbus Blue Jackets(Penguins win 4-2).

[Ark2]

Fleury does this every playoffs. Not sure why anyone is surprised.

Bylsma would surely be fired with a first (probably even a second) round exit.

[djsFlames]

Go Jackets Go!

What a feel good story if they can pull the upset.

[puckluck2]

Crosby must be injured. I've noticed Blake Comeau more.

I would love for Columbus to win a round or two. I'm also sick of hearing about how good Pittsburgh is, so I like watching them lose.

[FireGilbert]

Foglino scores the biggest goal in CBJ history on MA Fleury and then does a Theo Fleury style slide.

Oiler fans are like whatever we score knee slide worthy goals all the time.

He's accumulating a track record of disappearing when it matters most in recent years, including the sweep against the Bruins and much of the Olympics.

Not every playoffs.

Carolina could be looking to move away from Ward also.

Does he?

The guy has been a mediocre goalie since the World Juniors. We're talking 10+ years here. It's not happening.

[Enoch Root]

8th straight playoff game giving up at least 3 goals (31 GA)

and 15th time in his last 19 playoff games giving up at least 3 (going back to the 10-11 season)

his GAA is better this year than it was the prior two playoffs!

He is going to start game 5, imo. If he plays solid wins the game/series and the Penguins move on, id consider that redeeming himself, at least for the time being.

If they lose this series Blysma and Fleury are done. Wouldn't be surprised to see Trotz take over if this is the case.

[StrykerSteve]

Oh Fleury.

Fleury would be perfect for the Oilers.

I didn't get to watch this game, so I can't comment on how he played today, but the first three games he has been as dominant as ever, just hasn't been awarded with goals. Much like in the Olympics where he was probably the best forward but just didn't put up points. For example, game three when he was on the ice the Penguins had 16 shots on net, and only 5 against.

I had him in a couple of hockey pools so I paid close attention to him and post Olympics he never seemed like the same Crosby. Not sure if he has a nagging injury but he really didn't have a great 2nd half of the season and it's carried into the playoffs. Even Crosby off his game is a good player but he just hasn't been at the level we have been accustomed to and if he was on his game it's likely that these games don't come down to Fleury's goaltending gaffes.

Even I could've stopped that shot.

[codynw]

I still don't know why Fleury was a 1st overall pick.

[Machiavelli]

Loved the celebration for the OT goal.

[HOWITZER]

Team that has scored first in every game of this series has lost.

Watch, both teams will start game 5 with the net empty.
"No, you take the lead.", "Oh, please, you take the lead", etc.
