Not sure which ones you are referring to, but okay.

And last year he was off to a great start but the Bruins offense just didnt show up when he started, then he got injured

Seriously what more could you ask for? Also look what I wrote write above. How is that not good or impressive?

Just quit trying unless you can actually back up what you say. Wanting Fleury isn't unjustifiable, but you really haven't said anything on the matter at all

See? I can make completely baseless remarks with nothing to back it up as well.

This is a toss up for me, but Im going Rask. Rask needs to show me more though, he hasnt been the starter for long enough for me to lean "AINEC."

Im not saying Rask sucks. Im saying Boston's system makes him look better. Like Elliot and Smith. Although Rask is much better than both of them, just not better than Fleury.

Rask with Penguins and they have atleast two cups since drafting Crosby.

Varly and Rask would be a pretty disgustingly talented pair of goalers.

Fleury, no question. He's had some bad stretches, but also some very good ones.. He was a big part of that cup team, and thats something Rask can't say.

Rask definitely has the potential to grow into a better goalie, but you know what you're getting with Fleury. I'll take the proven vet with much more experience, instead of a 'maybe'....

Fleury has actually never been that good.

In the 2012-2013 Hockey Prospectus preview (Penguins team page), there's a pretty good explanation of how he has been below average throughout his career. Not sure if I can copy and paste it because this board has silly rules on that stuff, but on the 4th page and on the last page is where you'll find the info.

Rask.

Fleury isn't inconsistent, he's mediocre. About time people realized that.
