"Standing 180 feet from each other, they were in wildly different circumstances for two people charged with doing exactly the same thing. They were there to stop the puck, Marc-Andre Fleury and Pascal Leclaire, and stop it they did.

Eighty-two times through four periods of playoff hockey, one more spectacular than the other, then vice versa, then verse visa.

At its apex, the hottest Game 5 temperatures had to withstood by Fleury, and for that he was the better equipped, having withstood Stanley Cup forging temperatures only last June. So in last night's first overtime period, the Ottawa Senators, left for dead as they vacated Canada late Tuesday night, fired 11 shots at the Penguins' net. In one dazzling sequence, Fleury stopped Jason Spezza's power-play wrister and Chris Kelly's attempt to knock in the rebound.

But the best opportunity on that overtime likely came from Craig Adams short-handed, and Leclaire stopped that puck for his 45th save."
