This feels like a repetitional snub as Fleury has endured endless questions over the last few seasons about his performance.  This season is one of his finest.  Tied for 5th in wins and leading the league in shutouts on a team that has battled through injuries and the mumps, “Flower” deserves a roster spot.  Tough call for whom to replace.  I’d rather pull out Jimmy Howard or Roberto Luongo but they are the only representatives from their team.  With that in mind I would replace the newly re-signed Sergei Bobrovsky.  While injuries are unfortunate they have impacted Bobrovsky and the Jackets overall.  And should have here.
