Marc-Andre Fleury’s agent shares, uh, well you just gotta see this

The second-round series between the Vegas Golden Knights and Vancouver Canucks does not begin until late Sunday night, but the drama begins right now. On Saturday afternoon, Marc-Andre Fleury‘s agent, Allan Walsh, shared on Twitter a photo of his client getting impaled by a sword.

The sword’s blade is inscribed with the name of Vegas coach Pete DeBoer, who had just announced that Robin Lehner would start in net for the Knights.

Marc-Andre Fleury’s diving stop last night was amazing, but it was not better than Braden Holtby’s ‘The Save’

Marc-Andre Fleury has found a second life in Las Vegas since being selected in the expansion draft in 2017. The French-Canadian goalie has won 75 of his 124 starts in Sin City. The three-time Stanley Cup champion (all with the Penguins) also led the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup Final during their inaugural season in the NHL.

Tuesday, Fleury made perhaps the greatest save of his career against the Toronto Maple Leafs. You’ve probably seen it already, but if you haven’t, take a look.

Matthew Tkachuk runs Marc-Andre Fleury, almost starts goalie fight with David Rittich

During the Flames-Knights game on Wednesday night a brawl broke out after Matthew Tkachuk skated into Marc-Andre Fleury, and we almost got a goalie fight.

Marc-Andre Fleury set his stick on the ice, but and shook his blocker, while having a stare-down with David Rittich.

But Rittich toed the (blue) line, and even though he looked ready to go, he didn’t cross it.

Marc-Andre Fleury savagely mocked Evgeny Kuznetsov’s bird celebration after beating Caps

Knights goalie Marc-Andre Fleury saved 23 of 26 shots he faced in Washington’s 5-3 loss to Vegas. Fleury’s in-game performance was solid but unremarkable. It was just a satisfactory game that gave MAF his 15th win of the season.

But then, in the post-game celebration, Fleury went too far. As Flower embraced Nate Schmidt, the goalie mocked Evgeny Kuznetsov’s world-famous and universally beloved bird celly.

Absolutely despicable. Unspeakably vicious. Indescribably brutal.

Stanley Cup gamesmanship: Alex Ovechkin and Marc-Andre Fleury slash each other during pregame warmups

Alex Ovechkin has become a very superstitious hockey player during this year’s playoff run. From moving bar stools to a certain place, eating heavy Italian food, or screaming at TJ Oshie, Ovechkin has a very specific set of routines he must complete so that his world is aligned and his luck earned. But the Vegas Golden Knights have tried to get in his head.

Ahead of Game Three of the Stanley Cup Final, Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault trolled Ovi with a hot lap at Capital One Arena. During Game Two, Marc-Andre Fleury squirted Gatorade over Ovechkin’s spot on the ice, mocking his superstition.

Ovechkin got MAF back, however, Thursday night in Vegas.

That time Marc-Andre Fleury became a curler during a hockey game

Marc-Andre Fleury must have been watching the Olympics because the three-time Stanley Cup-winning goaltender debuted a new stick-handling move Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings.

After a Kings clear during a first period Golden Knights power play, the biscuit bounced off the boards and died outside the trapezoid where Fleury could play the puck.

Fleury, who is a notoriously silly human, decided to mess around as he waited for Colin Miller to retrieve the puck.
