NHL fans crushed Vegas’ Marc-Andre Fleury for the goal he gave up to Sharks in second OT

The San Jose Sharks saved their season with a huge double overtime victory over the Las Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday night, as they picked up a 2-1 win to force a Game 7 back in San Jose on Tuesday night.

San Jose almost won it in the first overtime but then finally were able to stay alive when Tomas Hertl, who after Game 5 predicted there would be a Game 7, scored a shorthanded goal.

Hertl scored on a shot that somehow seemed to surprise Vegas goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.

Check out the game-winner, which seemed like it should have been something Fleury, who had some past struggles in the playoffs during his days with the Penguins, should have handled. Instead, it got past him and we’re on to Game 7:

NHL fand didn’t take it easy on Fleury:

A double OT shorthanded goal from Tomas Hertl to keep the Sharks season alive and force a Game 7. And Marc-Andre Fleury just simply missed it. The Stanley Cup Playoffs, man. You just never know.

Marc-Andre Fleury gave up 2 trash goals tonight and #VGK lose 2-1 in 2OT to #Sharks. Both shots he’s going low when shooter is 30 ft from net. Neither goal happens if he stands tall and plays the angle. Stand up. Play angle. Back in w/ shooter.

Man, oh man, that was a weak goal given up by Marc Andre Fleury. Short-handed in double OT. Soul crushing. Felt like #VegasBorn had the better of the play tonight too. Gah! #NHLPlayoffs

Marc Andre Fleury out there getting outplayed by his fellow goalie. You cannot give up that goal. Brutal.

Marc Andre Fleury would have gotten killed if he allowed that goal playing on the Pens, also.

The MAF hate train was a real thing 6+ years ago

Let the record show, Marc-Andre Fleury is not a Hall of Fame caliber goalie, no matter how rings he may have. #SJSvsVGK

San Joe went about 10 minutes of play and even an intermission without getting a shot. The first one after that span caught Marc Andre Fleury sleeping. Unbelievable series is going the distance, game 7 on Tuesday

I could’ve stopped that with my eyes closed wtf
