Fleury was a prime mover on three teams different (2009, 2016, 2017) Pittsburgh Penguins teams that won the Stanley Cup.

Fleury is playing at another level right now. He contiues to play the best hockey of his NHL career.

Fleury, a former first overall pick at the NHL Draft,was the first player ever chosen by the Golden Knights in the NHL expansion. The Pittsburgh Penguins opted to protect two-time Stanley Cup winner Matt Murray which selead Fleury's fate in The Burgh.

The Penguins' three-peat quest ended when they were knocked out in the second round of the playoffs.

“I felt coming in to the series that we were the best team, but [Vegas] played very well,” Blake Wheeler, Winnipeg’s captain, said in a dressing room that was library-quiet. “Their goaltender was extremely good. Numerous times it looked like the puck was going in for us, but he stopped it.

“He was playing like Tarzan.”

Hell hath no fury like a Gerard Gallant scorned, eh, @FlaPanthers ?
