Fleury as stolen 2 games for Pitt so far.. 45 shots in the NHL is healthy number. Granted the number of pure high percentage shots in any given game is usually in the single digits, but no doubt Fleury has been the difference.
In regard to salaries--the hype and marketing will never focus on the goalie. The players that draw the fans are the OV's, and Crosbys etc. They are the draw that make the coin. That is not a surprise.
All those players will tell you if they don't have a top flight goalie--they will not win.
Folks are/were down on Osgood--but he is like Billy Smith of the Isles used to be--not a great athlete, not a great reg season guy--but come play-offs--very tough.
