Doing those things helps prevent the kinds of 'soft goals' everyone is griping about.

Normally I would agree - I am from the school of "it is never the goalie's fault", but Fleury was just letting in too many from just plain bad decisions on his part alone.
I admit the Islanders have been a surprise though.
