Fleury exudes calmness in face of adversity
/Interesting quotes from the Penguins players, via The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, following the Penguins come-from-behind win over the Columbus Blue Jackets Monday evening.
Captain Sidney Crosby described the scene after Dan Bylsma called his timeout with his team down 0-2 early.
“When your coach calls a timeout in a situation like that, you look at your goalie. And when you can't tell the difference if we were up 2-0 or down 2-0, that's a great way to be,” Crosby said.
“If you had looked into his eyes, you could tell he knew there was a lot of game left.”
Kris Letang offered this as far as Fleury stopping 16 of his next 17 shots.
“That's the thing I notice the most with him now,” Letang said. “It doesn't matter if a (lousy) goal goes in. He's onto the next save. He's more calm. He's been that way all season, so it's not surprising he was that way when we needed it most.
“We just expect that he's going to stop the next shot.”
