Mathieu Garon.

Garon looked good in the final half of last night's game.  Yes, he only faced 8 shots, but he stopped them all and some of them were pretty difficult saves.
 
Here's what I'd like to see.  Play Fleury in Game 6 -- he should bounce back.  But, assuming they can force a Game 7, play Garon in Detroit, or at most, pull Fleury immediately after he gives up his second goal.  Fleury has been GREAT for the Pens, especially on home ice, but for whatever reason, his game goes down whenever he visits Joe Louis Arena.  He had some very unlucky goals that no goalie could have stopped, absolutely, but he hasn't been 100% in Detroit in either this series or last year's.  My two cents.
