How come Marc-Andre Fleury speaks to the media after the Pens won game 3, but not after the first two losses?

Question

I only ask b/c I've noticed that after almost every win, Sid and MAF are at the post game conference, but after the two losses, only Sid was, and the coach of course.

Answer 1

Because he's not a pro yet. Pros speak to the media after every game, no matter how pissed off or weepy eyed they are.

Answer 2

would you speak out as the losing goalie after 2 strait shutouts?

Answer 3

They only took 7 periods plus to score and then a questionable goal, 2 huge non calls and we still probably out-played them as they "held on for dear life". I heard Malkin quoted as being "Tired", after game 2. THEY all looked tired in the third, having last change and all. They haven't (nobody i this years playoffs) have seen the best game.

Answer 4

He feel ashamed very very ashamed

Answer 5

Nothing to say when you lose.

Answer 6

He's in a lot better mood, or he's reviewing tape or whatever after the losses...

Answer 7

Maybe he's a sore loser? :P

Answer 8

Hey it's easy to talk after a win. It's harder after losses. Not all players will take that responsibility. For instance David Cone was one to always take questions after losses for thre Yanks

Answer 9

because they didn't ask him to

let's not make a huge thing out of it

Answer 10

evgeni know's how to speak english...i think sometimes he mixes up words and says things he didn't mean to say/get lost in russian to english translation. i'm sure the "tired" wasn't a misquote because he's been playing like a "ghost", but there was a fire alarm incident at the hotel they were staying at really early in the morning...and also he's not used to playing this much hockey in a season (nevermind the fact that it's the red wings).

why wouldn't they interview him? if i was a reporter i'd want to talk to him, and he didn't even talk that much post game yesterday anyways. sometimes he does interviews after a loosing game, and sometimes he does them when it's a winning game.

Answer 11

Can you blame him?

Who the h**l would wanna talk after they loose a big game.
