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.
That’s awesome man , love it! And I’m with you, he is for sure one of the best personalities and people ever to play the game and of course is a hall of fame player to go along with it!
As an Avs fan, I haven't liked any team he's been on, but I fucking love the Fleury. His personality and antics both on and off the ice are amazing, and he's a great guy.
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.
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!!!
new to watching hockey, this guy’s gotta be my favorite player, ever since i saw the mic’d up clip where he tried to fight binnington. “it’ll be fun, no? get the crowd going a bit?” LOL
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.
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
And I hate the fact that some forget if it wasn't for Fleury after Murray got hurt there would be no 2017 cup I still have hope he comes back to the burgh
Murray wasn’t that good tbh. The team in front of him was a powerhouse and built for the playoffs. Flower should have been kept by the pens, think money was the deciding factor
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.🌸
That’s amazing to hear , glad you’re getting into this great sport, flower is the best for sure, hope you can eventually get to a game! Thanks so much for watching !
LOVE Flower!! I from Vegas and following him where he ever he goes!! He plays his petals off ! He is just simply AMAZING.. who dont like FLOWER!! humm I can think of one coach ):
Bro, How can you not like the flower? I have watched him for years make those spectacular saves for the Pen's. Now we get to watch him in our Jersey! Hope he stays for another year. Just please give us one damn CUP! That's all we ask for, just one!
Im a wild fan, my first and only jersey ive bought so far is a fleury jersey that i bought the night of the trade. Fleury is amazing. Hoping he stays in minnie rather than going home at least for another year.
I love Fleury (I’m a Habs fan.) I love all the hilarious stuff he does. Also, my first ever NHL game happened to be on December 9th, 2021 the Habs vs the Hawks. (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!
I’m a huge fan of him I love him and I got to meet him and I would love to meet him again someday and he was the best dad to his family and kids and he is such a good idle to look up to and I would like to shoot against him and skate with him on the ice and I would like to be on the ice with him for a game on the wild home ice someday it’s my dream to play hockey with him
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.
Definitely one of the greats, I’d still prob have a couple ahead of him but if he keeps this up for another year or two I could see him being in that GOAT conversation
Even though he robbed my favorite player in Lidstrom to secure the Cup win for the pens, I still learned to love him. He's a great role model for hockey players.
I really believe he made some other goalies better,those goalies had their best days when he was around. He signs tons of autographs,especially for being a superstar!!!
LMAO! Of ALL the hockey teams you had to support it had to be the fig leafs!!! Sorry, Chris, but you will never experience the joy of them winning the Stanley Cup! The Curse is real in Hog Town (toronto)!!
As a pens fan it hurts me to this very day that we let flower go. I understand why. Murray was young and flower was aging and we needed to move on. I just hope that somehow they sign him to a 1 year deal after he’s done with Minnesota and he can maybe get our goaltending back in order. Cause Jesus Christ Jarry sucks
Still mad that an expansion draft allowed a new team to grab a franchise player. Franchise player!? Bro...c'mon, you can't just take franchise players. That some BS.
I've disliked MA Fleury ever since his Junior days where he choked in the WJC. I wish i could get beyond it, but i never have been able to. He gave the puck away and lost the game for Canada. His time in Pittsburgh I always felt he was overrated despite his success
@@triciaswails7246 lol, that’s what you got? One of the absolute best to play the game, on the day he dies, and I honor him in a small way, and you got this? STFU.
He doesn't receive much love in the playoffs since he choked and caused Vegas TWO series. Looking forward to him costing the Wild a series. Best to used for regular season only.
there’s no way you can’t love flower!!
💯
I’m a be honest never understood the hype and then he came to the wild and now I want a wild jersey with his name on it.
True dat!
Would like him better if he would consistently play well
#29 will always be a penguin to me i root for whatever team he plays for. #29 turned things around in Pittsburgh.
Being a wild fan I’m still in shock I’m so thankful to have him on our team even if it’s only for one year . Thanks for the video
He’s the best! Thanks for watching !!
I would rather have a consistent goalie who does not play recklessly. I would take Talbot over him any day
@@joeg3741 I blame Russia
@@joeg3741 this aged well...
I am just glad we don’t have to deal with playing against him in the playoffs anymore he now on our team les go wild

My stance on the NHL now is very simple;
My favorite team is wherever Flower is.
I feel that!
Me TOO!!!! Been a fan ever since Pens drafted him😊
Exactly!!! Never thought I’d be cheering for MN, but here I am! 😂👍🏼

They definitely backstabbed him and might have some bad hockey karma for a little while after all these moves. Love flower tho !

One of my favorite athletes of all time! Thanks for watching!
He is such a great goalie, he will always be my favourite goalie
Same here

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!" 🌸🩷
It’s his attitude. He’s such a great guy. Always seems to be in a great mood.
100% makes an impact on everyone around him too
I'll follow Fleury to what ever team he is on!
I'll be right there with ya!!!
I got into watching ice hockey this year. And he instantly became my favorite!

I became a Pittsburgh fan and started watching NHL because of a flower
That’s so cool, love to hear it
a legit hockey ICON
For sure!!
I want the flower to come back to the burgh so bad. Everyone here misses him!
For sure, I agree my man!
Flower speaks to his posts both in English and French. He said its because he doesn't know if the steel came from Canada or the US.
That’s why he’s the best
Absolutely love "The Flower!!" Hope he comes HOME!!!
Same here!
Me3
Even tho I knew he wouldn't be in Chicago long term, I still bought his jersey to show my love for him!
That’s awesome , he’s the best !
That 🌼 smile is uncomparable...
Love that someone did a video like this about Flower! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed, thanks so much for watching!!

Watched him since he was here in Cape Breton with the screaming eagles. He still treats Sydney as his second home. By far my favourite goalie.
I’m gonna hurt when he retires. I already know it. I’m gonna hurt for a while. Idk how I’m gonna grieve, there’s no one who can replace him
Just gotta enjoy it while he’s still playing!
I’m a huge fan of him I love him and I got to meet him and I would love to meet him again someday and he was the best dad to his family and kids and he is such a good idle to look up to and I would like to shoot against him and skate with him on the ice and I would like to be on the ice with him for a game on the wild home ice someday it’s my dream to play hockey with him
That’s so cool, I’d love to get the chance to meet him someday too, such an awesome guy
@@DropthePuckHockey yeah I already did but I would love to skate and shoot with him and score against him
Vegas made two massively stupid moves their second year they're still suffering from: letting Flower go and firing Gallant.
They really did, quite a few questionable moves

Fleury is great but Roy,Brodeur are among some of the best ever!
As a Josh Bailey fan with fleury a Pen and Bailey being the Pen killer I still love fleury. Also funny that him and Hughes were talking mid play.
He is just a flat out good person!
Really is!
I get the chance to get to watch him play at the beginning of next year before he retires
Even though he robbed my favorite player in Lidstrom to secure the Cup win for the pens, I still learned to love him. He's a great role model for hockey players.
Love the. Flower🌸🌸🌸
I’d of loved to see him come to St. Louis. But for real who doesn’t love the flower
I have three jerseys, 66,29,81.
even as a caps fan i cant hate him
Never met him. Good goalie.
How can anyone NOT like Fluery?
That’s what I’m sayin!
RIGHT?!!!!
He's just the BEST!!! WISH Pens woulda tried harder to keep him😢
The Flower 🌹🌹🌹🌹
as a goalie and a life long red wings fan. I wear 29 and hate Pittsburgh with a passion, but i can not and will not hate the Flower
Haha I love that
I really believe he made some other goalies better,those goalies had their best days when he was around.
He signs tons of autographs,especially for being a superstar!!!
Biggest blunder in the history of the NHL was the Penguins not protecting Marc Andre Fleury
Made sense at the time but looking back it didn’t turn out well
Long Live Flower!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marc-Andre Fleury is a CLASS ACT! Vegas made a huge mistake going with Lehner. Good luck to the Wild!
Sean Avery and Brad Marchand :D
Just kidding :D WE ALL LOVE FLOWER :)
Greats from Leafs Nation Germany :D
LMAO! Of ALL the hockey teams you had to support it had to be the fig leafs!!! Sorry, Chris, but you will never experience the joy of them winning the Stanley Cup! The Curse is real in Hog Town (toronto)!!
Marc-Andre Flower 10\10
It's his smile.
Flower will always be a Pittsburgh Penguin!!
I agree !
No goalie thanks his goalposts. Bruh, Patrick Roy.
Didn’t realize roy did it too, a little before my time but guess I gotta catch up on my highlights
@@DropthePuckHockey and Roy was one of Flower's idols growing up
Come back home flower 🤪😘

Great goalie, one of the...(but not the) best in the last 10-12 years. There is only one Flower though.
Guy is The Flower. Not Marc
Why not both
Still mad that an expansion draft allowed a new team to grab a franchise player. Franchise player!? Bro...c'mon, you can't just take franchise players. That some BS.
you can't be an NHL fan if you don't like Fleury
Ikr haha
Matt who? Mariana Matt? Never heard of him.
i didnt like him at all in game 7 of scf in 09 lol
Haha that’s prob the only time ppl don’t like him , when your team is playing against him
Fleury doesn't mean flower, it means flowery.
His nickname is the still the flower tho haha, with all due respect to guy lafleur
I've disliked MA Fleury ever since his Junior days where he choked in the WJC. I wish i could get beyond it, but i never have been able to. He gave the puck away and lost the game for Canada. His time in Pittsburgh I always felt he was overrated despite his success
Guy Lafleur is the The Flower, everyone else is a wannabe.
Fleury isn't THE Flower; he's just Flower. And he's no wannabe. Even if you don't like him, his numbers speak for themselves.
