Good post, PenginsMarch.

I'm with you in thinking that Caputi could fill a spot on Malkin's wing. The thought brings to mind the Malone-Malking-Sykora line of a few seasons ago that was so effective for a while. Obviously, it wouldn't be the same thing, as Feds in no real sniper, but it certainly seems to me that it would have some big potential.

Any thought on Tangradi? He seems like a similar player, although from the sounds of it, he had some good chemistry with Crosby on Tuesday.

Hi, PenguinsMarch. I think we'll be seeing a lot of each other over the coming months!

I agree with you in that the goalie tends to get a disproportionate amount of blame in hockey. It's much like the quarterback position in football, highly visible and it's easy to see their successes (big saves, touchdown passes) and their failures (soft goals, interceptions). In that case, it's easy to see why Pittsburghers are so tough on them: they're very tough on their quarterbacks as well!

Personally, I'm not going to say I'm a huge Fleury fan. On the other hand, from what I've read on the Penguins message board and in other blogs, I've been more positive about him over the past few years than others have. It's good to see that he's finally changing some minds, so that now when I say good things about him, I don't get all kinds of crazy looks!
