My guess is they are resting him. He's kinda old and they just finished a 7 game series.

Yeah maybe. Not much of a Vegas fan here but a big big Fleury fan.

This is a pretty big risk to sit Fleury after the season he had. This is a multiple Stanley Cup winner here.

And it’s already 2-0...

You’re telling me fleury changes that Makar pass - Landeskog goal? Cause he doesn’t lol.


But I get what you’re saying though Fleury definitely needs rest if Vegas were to win the cup. It’s a bold move and maybe too bold but Vegas is also just getting worked.

Yeah. I am far from being a NHL coach but I feel it’s a pretty big leap to put a cold goaltender in that situation. Especially when Fleury was very good in the last série.

I agree with this. They should ride the hot hand. They need to start MAF in game 2

I imagine it’s just for rest. It woulda been difficult for any goalie to stop either of those goals though, the Rantanen shot was perfectly placed, and the Makar pass was gorgeous, literally nobody coulda stopped that, you just don’t expect the puck to go across the middle of the ice through 5 defenders like that.
