Marc-Andre Fleury is currently with the Minnesota Wild, however, there is absolutely no overstating just how much the goaltender meant to the fans in Pittsburgh. During his time with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Fleury was able to win a grand total of three Stanley Cups. While he was only the starter for one of those cups, you can't help but acknowledge what an incredible ambassador for the game he was.
The fans adored him and he adored them back. The man is a professional who deserves all of the praise. On Tuesday night, Fleury and the Wild will be taking on the Pittsburgh Penguins.
It is certainly going to be a fun night and the Penguins fans will be excited to see their old netminder. Meanwhile, Fleury had himself some fun today. He was at an arena in Pittsburgh when he saw some teenagers doing drills.
That is when he hopped on the ice and spent a couple of minutes stopping pucks. This was probably a life-changing moment for a lot of those young hockey players. Being able to share the ice with a legend like Fleury is absolutely no joke.
They got to learn from one of the best to ever do it, and that is an experience they will probably remember for the rest of their lives. As for Fleury, he probably got a huge rush from doing this and rightfully so. We're sure he was feeling pretty damn youthful going out there and stopping all of those shots.
