Goalie Controversy in Pittsburgh?

Nearly a month into the season, the Pittsburgh Penguins' top goalie hasn't lost a game in regulation. He is second in the NHL in goals-against average and save percentage. When he's played, the Penguins have recorded 11 of a possible 12 points.

The dilemma: He's not Marc-Andre Fleury, who won the Stanley Cup with a brilliant Game 7 against Detroit less than two years ago and was a Canadian Olympian last winter.
Instead, backup goalie Brent Johnson's 5-0-1 record, 1.16 goals-against average and .960 save percentage are creating a tricky situation for coach Dan Bylsma as the Penguins begin a three-game road trip Wednesday in Dallas.
Does Bylsma keep playing the goalie who can't seem to lose? Or does he keep trying to get his starter going, knowing that once Fleury plays himself out of his slump the Penguins will be a stronger team for the long term?

This ties into a discussion we were having the other day - I think it's a bit premature to start throwing Fleury under the bus, but for the time being the Pens have to ride the hot goalie.

Its tough NOT to play Johnson right now....Do you try and get Fleury going and take a risk that Johnson gets cold after not playing a few games - or just ride the hot hand until he slows down...then insert Fleury

Fleury is a good netminder but I dont think he is Elite - Yeah - he is a Cup championship goalie and he did have a save of a lifetime in game 7 in closing seconds but so is Khabibulin.....Statistically Fleury is average. He has moves but doesnt seem like he will steal games away - he is fortunate to have fire power up front in Crosby/Malkin to save the game.....

I say ride Johnson until he comes back down to earth and then try and get Fleury back into his game...

Thats exactly what you have to do. Penguins are a business and this business needs to win. Period. Same thing with Boston - how could they not play Thomas.

play the hot goalie all the way. #1's still have to show they have what it takes when they get their chances. johnson's earned his right to keep going.

I pretty much agree, play Johnson until you stop winning. Give Fleury a little break and see if he can get his game back.

I think Johnson came back down to earth tonight, no???
Being a Penguin fan from the Maritimes I really want Fleury to excel but ?????
