Lmao. Marc Andre Fleury is certainly not one of the best to ever play the game. Stop it with that nonsense.

There were plenty of rental goalies available at deadline for cheap. I’d love to hear why Vegas didn’t try to get anyone

Good food for thought since, you never know when back up goalie will be pushed to long term starter. I think that teams play a little harder at first to compensate but, that goes awaynif go as lie keeps putting them in a hole. That said opponent is the biggest factor as you mentioned with the record of of the Sharks and Flames against Subban. If deep means getting through one round my answer is yes but, beyond depends on opponent and more often then not they will need more scoring since, I don't see low scoring or shutouts being the norm as with Fleury.

The thing with Vegas is they have a deep team that plays a strong team game, they can support Subban well and he has game. Also even though he is out, Fleury is going to be there to help coach him through things. I think can they win with Subban, absolutely. Come playoff time anything can happen and if a goalie gets hot, well we have seen that story before. Montreal with Halak comes to mind.

Subban will be fine - Just needs some ice time to stay sharp

Lot's of Vegas envy by folks around the NHL - They still can't get over the VGK coming in & kicking their tied lousy teams tails

If the guy got some serious playing time he would be very good. But he's had only a handful of games before Fleury's injury, plus he's had lots of injury time himself. Naysayers aside, the guy can play and yes, VGK can make a deep playoff run with Subban in goal. Watch the guy sometime and that becomes clear.

I couldn't agree more. Nice seeing someone else recognize Subban's talent and potential.
