NHL Media Day had some interesting quirks this year, including players poorly drawing their own team’s logo.
One other media day standout was Vegas Golden Knights’ goaltender Marc Andre-Fluery. While filming Wednesday Night Rivalry promo video, three youth hockey players and a goalie — all wearing Sharks jerseys — were asked play MAF.
I’m sad to report they barely touched the puck. That’s because the kids spent a majority of their time playing defense and getting dangled to death by MAF in full-goalie gear.

It doesn't matter how old you are. Despite being a goalie, if given a chance, Marc-Andre Fleury WILL dangle you🌸 pic.twitter.com/aWoqpKd0qt

And I thought Braden Holtby would be a good forward. This MAF’er would score 50 goals if he could advance the puck past the red line.
