The 2016 Penguins Were Much Better Than The Blues

Description
I will say this. This St Louis Blues cup winning team is no where near as impressive as the 2016 Pittsburgh Penguins. How can we compare a team that relies on heaviness, grit and intimidation to a team that dominated using speed, skill and creativity? The Penguins played much more beautiful hockey during their run. Plus they won much more convincingly as they outplayed every team in possession, offensive zone time, shots and chances created. The Blues were not as capable in carrying the play compared to the Penguins. There shouldn’t be any debate over this, anyone with hockey knowledge will admit that the Penguins’ 2016 cup was the true definition of how hockey should be played. They were clean, disciplined, fast, skillful and creative with their play style. Totally on a different level.

Lol 2010 Hawks averaged 25 Shots against (best in the league) and 35 shots for (also best in the league) literally the best shot differential in the league

2016 Pens only had a plus 4 shot differential...

Hawks constantly controlled play in the playoffs wtf are you talking about. The west during that period was a lot more stingy defensively with Teams like LA, Detroit, Nashville being stiffling defensive systems.

Also LOL @ using EA ratings as scientific evidence no one would take Fleury over Crawford. MAF has been the worst goalie in the playoffs for what was the majority of his career.


The only bad playoffs Fleury had were from 2011-2013. That’s it. In 2017, he was outstanding and once again proved his quality in 2018. Fleury at his best is elite and a Vezina contender, Crawford isn’t. You Hawks fans seriously think that Crawford’s 3 excellent years from 2013-15 are enough to make him better than Fleury who was lights out from 2007-09 and 2014-2018.

Fleury has never been a finalist for the vezina you tard he has never even sniffed a Jennings either. Crawford in 13 and 15 is better than any playoff preformance Fleury ever had. 09 Fleury is the worst starter to even win a cup with stats that make 2010 Niemi look great. Fleury has worse career stats, a lower Goals save aboved average and high danger sv% the only edge fleury has is winning a lot of games while allowing 4 goals due to the fact that an AHLer could win in net with Crosby and Malkin upfront. Fleury is the Grant Fuhr of the modern age neither should be in the hall and have a high win total but crap stats
