From Kevin Mio of the National Post:
I think I have learned that when you go through a tough time, you are able to bounce back; Bad bounces and bad luck might have doomed some goalies. Marc-Andre Fleury flourished.
Marc-Andre Fleury was drafted first overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2003 and made his National Hockey League debut only months later.
It wasn’t an easy ride for Fleury, however, who struggled to establish himself during his first few years on a sub-par Penguins club. He also had some back luck and one memorable bad bounce during the 2004 world junior championship that cost Canada a gold medal.

About The Confluence
Welcome to The Confluence, a Pittsburgh Penguins blog since 2006. Originally at Blogspot, then at MVN, The Confluence has over 1000 articles reporting Penguins news as well as jumping on my soapbox to opine constructive Penguins criticism. My posts are regularly linked by hockey websites such as the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Empty Netters and Yahoo!’s Puck Daddy, and I’ve done guest blogger spots on such websites as the New York Times. I invite you to spend a little time and peruse the archives at all of the sites for some of my better work. I am a retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer, but don’t confuse me with my fellow Chief at A2Y.
