There is one thing that makes a goalie elite in the NHL, and that is the ability to steal a game every once in a while. Marc-Andre Fleury did just that last night. He stopped 45 out of 46 shots (.978 save percentage). All of his postseason games, except game 3, he has had a 95% save percentage or higher. He has gained his elite status in my mind.
He made at least four saves that could have gone in to the net. He was on top of his game last night. The Penguins were also outshot 46-26, which has not been the norm since Dan Bylsma took over as head coach.
I feel very good about my prediction that Tyler Kenedy was going to be hot. He made a move in last night's game that looked just like Jeff Carter's goal in game 3.Petr Sykora did not score last night, but expect him to get on the sheet on Thursday night in Pittsburgh. I have a feeling they may close it out there.
