Ice Hockey: Penguins

Pittsburg just got some good news as there 1 pick Fluery is set to return to the lienup after missing some games. This goalie has a big future in front of him

sorry my fault he was injuried he was out and playign for the candian junior championships

most def this goalie has a promising fututre ahead of him

he could change this franchise single handed

hes been an awesome goalie i hope to see him in action soon....he has a great future....before the penguins drafted him he was supposed to be the next Roy

does anybody know if he made his return to the lineup?


I heard also that Mario is going to have shoulder surgery

Uh Oh. This is not good news for Pens fans.

Fleury heading back to junior team.

Marc-Andre Fleury is heading back to junior hockey, Penguins general manager Craig Patrick announced Thursday.

I guess the Pens just don't want to pay him any more money this year. Too bad. Fleury would have gotten lots of experience.

he is back right?

Yeah, Fleury was suited up for his last game as a Penguin tonight against Tampa Bay. He was listed as the backup. Looks like he did not get to see any action.

you think they should start him?

He should play part time. He needs experience and his team needs to learn to play around him. Heck he gets 30 shots a game, and some of those are not even whole games, so its probably more like 35-40.

He got a game star in something like his first 5 games, which he did not even win. Gave up 1 or 2 goals on 40-45 shots.

Of course the Pens need to learn to play hockey sometime soon, or they could put a combination of Brodeur and Roy in net and still give up 4 goals a game.

Not yet, the prognosis on his hip looks good and he wants to play again next year.
