The Pens would like to forget Game 5, a 5-0 loss in the Stanley cup Finals, but it happened. Though, now the Pens are just focused on getting back on track in Game 6 in order to keep their dreams alive. For any of those Pens fans or people who just start watching in the Playoffs are thinking the Pens are doomed or think Garon should be in net for Game 6, you are mistaken. The Pens learned from last year's final a lesson that no team in the NHL wants to learn. They lost last year and have struggled, worked hard, sacrificed, and earned this chance they have to redeem themselves in this year's Stanley Cup Final. They will not go down without a fight and they will be back at Mellon Arena to prove themselves, hopefully.
As for Fleury's play in game 5, you can not really blame him. The Pens had a meltdown, and were taking penalties, 3 of Detroit's 5 goals were power play goals. Fleury wants to prove himself. He has had to do it throughout this entire playoffs. He has been criticized and then afterwards, he rose to a level that people were praising him the next day. I am sure Fleury will be even more motivated to turn in a spectacular performance tomorrow night.
I believe in my Pens and I know they want to come out strong and play their best tomorrow night... now they just have to or else their season is over and they will yet again see Detroit skate around with the Stanley Cup on Mellon Arena ice. An image that will never leave my head, and I assure one that will never leave last year's Pens' team minds either. They have to use that motivation, use it tomorrow night and keep going for their dream.
