NASHVILLE, Tenn.
The early calls for Marc-Andre Fleury started after the Penguins lost Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final Saturday night, 5-1. I dismissed them quickly because I believed Matt Murray would respond with a big game Monday night in Game 4. He always had responded after a bad outing, going 7-0 after a playoff loss that he started with a 1.59 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage.
Well, make that record 7-1 now after the Penguins 4-1 loss to Nashville in Game 4 Monday.
Add my voice to those calling for Fleury in Game 5 Thursday night at PPG Paints Arena.
