You're so right Joe. The 5 hole is just killing Hallebuyck. It also helps when your goalie makes it look like he's a brick wall too. Fleurys glove save in OT on Couture was such a one. Now let me be clear it was a great save. It was made possible by the fact that Fleury is good enough to stay square to the shooter, come out juuuust enough but the key was keeping that big trap open and in the right spot. Watch that shot and you'll see he barely needs to move the glove. Fleury had it in the high percentage shot spot and it looked just fabulous. The fact that it was taken from low in the slot makes it an even bigger save.
