Maybe now, with the Penguins reaching their first Stanley Cup finals since 1992, goalie Marc-Andre Fleury will get the exposure (and perhaps a few more Conn Smythe votes) that he deserves.
Playing in the shadows, so to speak, of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Staal, it's easy to understand why Fleury may not be a name in many hockey households. Penguins fans, however, have known about this kid for some time.
Though there were some questions about Fleury coming into this season, his play this season, and especially the playoffs, should answer his critics. In 14 games, he has a 12-2 record, a 1.70 goals-against average and a .942 save percentage.
If he keeps those numbers up, maybe Pittsburgh does have a chance. Against Detroit, that is.
