Ron Cook: Appreciate Marc-Andre Fleury, but don't forget Matt Murray

The outpouring of affection for Marc-Andre Fleury will be overwhelming Tuesday night at PPG Paints Arena. That is as it should be. Fleury wasn’t just a terrific player for the Penguins. He is a terrific person. He deserves all of your love. Just don’t forget about the guy at the other end of the rink. He’s a pretty good goaltender, too. He’s also a pretty good kid.

One day, Matt Murray will be regarded as a Penguins icon, right there with Fleury. I can’t believe we’re not there yet. Murray backstopped the franchise to consecutive Stanley Cups and figures to be the biggest part of its attempt to make it three in a row this season.
