Welcome to MAf-rch

The Pittsburgh Penguins, as of now, are solidly in the playoffs. Evgeni Malkin is producing more points than any mortal in the NHL on this realm. James Neal is finding the back of the net with regularity. The team is selling out games and there's a lot of encouraging moments with the depth battling and finding a way to win.

That's the good news.

Sidney Crosby has been out for 2 months now and still has concussion-like symptoms. Kris Letang just got ka-bonged and for the second time in a few months is dealing with some head trauma.

That's the bad news.

If those are four mentioned above are four of the most important five players on the Pens, Marc-Andre Fleury clearly rounds out the group. And the goalie likes no better month than March.

In 71 career games played, Fleury has a remarkable record of 43-16-9. His goals against is 2.37 and his save percentage is .915 with 7 shutouts.

All of these numbers are career bests (aside from sv % where he has a .917 mark in October).

Still- March has been Fleury's month. Given how strenuous the team's schedule is looking, it couldn't come at a better time.

Go Pens. Go Flower.

(And get well soon Sid and Kris)
