No Better Time To Start Fleury Than Now

from Scott Burnside of ESPN,

If now is not the time for Marc-Andre Fleury, then when?

Or more to the point, if it is not time now for the return of the longtime Penguins starter and former number one overall draft pick, then the answer "never"....

... there remains a prevailing feeling at least from outside the Penguins dressing room that if the star-studded Penguins are to make good on their significant promise and advance at least to the finals it will be with Fleury in net.

One NHL coach said simply he did not trust Vokoun to get the job done while another Eastern Conference scout said the goaltending matchup between Vokoun and Tuukka Rask, who delivered his first-ever playoff shutout with a fine 29-save performance Saturday, is a mismatch in favor of the Bruins.
