The Penguins have the best goalie in the NHL, how can you say that Fleury is inconsistant? Are you mistaking him for Jocelyn Thibault? What?

And I'd have to agree that Marc-Andre Fleury is ridiculously inconsistent. I hope I'm wrong, though, and Sidney and crew make it to the finals (against the Canucks, of course).

It's not that the Pens are inexperienced since Mark Recchi, Gary Roberts and George Laraque have plenty...it's that they have horrible defense (freakin' Gonchar is a liability) and Fleury is too inconsistant. However, their ridiculous offensive power (Crosby, Malkin, Staal, Whitney, Gonchar, Recchi, Roberts, all on the SAME TEAM) might just be enough to overcome how bad they are on their own end.
