    I've bought tickets to every Flower game here in Ottawa... not to watch my Sens... but to watch him play. My eyes never leave him the entire time... and he is even great to watch during the downtime and commercial breaks. The man is always moving. Greatest player in the history of hockey in my opinion... not just because of his skill.. but because of his heart and pure love of the game. Yup... pretty sure I have a man crush on the dude LOL.

    I’m a long time hockey fan who grew up in Montreal. I have lived in Las Vegas for the last 18 years and feel privileged to have had the opportunity to watch Fleury play for the Knights. He was so loved here and his trade to Chicago made a huge part of the fan base very upset. Unfortunately, once it was clear that players really wanted to come here, our GM just added piece after piece no matter the cost on the team harmony. Marc-Andre was the soul of this team. His loss has soured so many fans. He made it clear that he wanted to finish his career here and even live here permanently. Why would you trade him? So sad.

    • @DropthePuckHockey

    Love the Flower. He is a professional and the ultimate teammate. Never heard him talk down about anybody, especially when he could have. Just a class act. And then so funny. There are not too many Dudes like him. Then his loyalty to Pittsburgh. Plus he is so freaking athletic, quick, etc. But I did get nervous any time he tried to puck handle. When he would pat the goalpost after a shot I would just laugh.
    Yep, love the Flower. Thank you for sharing!!!

    I still find it criminal that the Pens chose to protect Murray in the Expansion Draft over Flower. Fleury had a few down years with the team the previous few years, but Fleury is gonna be one of the greats when his career is all over and DESERVES a HoF spot.

    • @DropthePuckHockey
      @DropthePuckHockey  Před 2 lety +9

      That decision definitely did not age well. At the time I think most felt it was the right choice but it didn’t quite pay off for the pens. Wish flower could have played his whole career in Pittsburgh

    • @chadh8132
      @chadh8132 Před 4 měsíci +1

      It was the right choice. Looking at it now, people will say it wasn’t. Murray was in net for the last two cups. He was younger. He was cheaper. We had salary cap issues, so you 100% take the cheaper option. Really there was no “right” answer for the Pens at that time.

    I’m fairly new to ice hockey (as in, I’ve been watching live games for 1 or 2 months) but Flower immediately became my favourite and really drew me in.
    Whilst I don’t particularly like the Blackhawks, I’ve become a major Pens fan and have started following the Wild as well lol.
    He’s just such a pure and funny soul, a real international treasure, I’m hoping to catch one of his games in person before he retires! (I’m from Europe, so that’s more of a bucket list thing, lol)
    Anyway, lovely video! Enjoyed watching our Flower and hearing some more of his history.🌸

(The game Fleury got his 500th win). I just bought the closest game to my dad’s 50th birthday (I’m 25). So I had no clue it was gonna be his 500th win prior to the crowd chanting “Fleury!” And I hope Fleury continues his Stellar attitude and play!

    In my opinion the best goalie alltime. Just look at his numbers. Playing 13 years for a team that lets face it was never a shut down defensive team yet still has great numbers. Carried an expansion team to the finals in year 1! Amazing. He could compete on any team for goalie 1. Ever. By the way have you ever seen a goalie make so many fantastic saves? Ok Maybe Hasek but i still say the Flower is more athletic. On top of all that never heard a bad word said. No one dislikes the guy and all his teamates love him. For me. In an alltime draft he’d be the first goalie off the board.

    • @DropthePuckHockey
