"WE WANT FLEURY!"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Today as the Minnesota Wild came into Pittsburgh with the possible retirement of Marc-Andre Fleury looming, the obvious story line was that this could be the last time he plays in Pittsburgh. While he did not end up starting - which gave him time to prank Kris Letang before the game switching out his helmet- as the Penguins scored 3 fairly quick the fans chanted "We Want Fleury" after every goal hoping for Gustavsson to be pulled so we could see Fleury ONE more time! Crosby also took possession of 13th overall in NHL points which was cool. I cover it all in todays NHL hockey video!

Fleury is like a caricature of a nice guy you'd see in a movie. One of the most loved players of all time. Nobody hates Fleury.
He looks like the bee in bee movie
Lmao 🤣@@mtl514_
@kenttherrien2726no
Rangers fan here. Can confirm
@kenttherrien2726 Good ! Good ! Let that hate flow through you.
Man, a crowd cheering for the other team's backup goalie, that CAN'T have happened often, lol. What a guy and what a career, not ready to see him retire.
.892 says he should
Fluery was our hope when he was drafted. I remember his first game so clearly as a child. He was the original spark for the pens. I and I know, so many others get so emotional when he comes to town. He meant so much to us and still does to this day. His jersey retirement in Pittsburgh will be only second to Crosby. That’s how much he means to us.
I’m not a Pittsburgh fan, but would you put him before Malkin, in terms of how much he was loved by fans?
@@felix-antoine 100% every time
@felix-antoine easily. Malkin has always had a bit of a bittersweet relationship with the fans of the team. They know how good he is but they can't stand his bone headed plays and penalties. Doesn't help that he's been overshadowed by Sid.
The Pen's should sign him to a 1 day contract during the pre-season next year for a home game and put him in for the first faceoff of the game.
I mean, if it's pre-season, they could just sign him to a try-out contract and let him play the home opener.
Let him play a whole game in pre-season to finish his career with the Pens
Agreed!!! Flower deserves that in Pittsburgh!
If that’s what Fleury wants he should get it. The NHL owes him at least that much.
Man, Fleury was THE guy when I was growing up. I didn't play much actual hockey, but I was always the goalie whenever we played ball hockey. That was because of Fleury. Good times man.
Lots of players come and go.. But Pittsburgh will cheer for fleury no matter what. Such a loveable guy. Kessel has special place in our hearts too. Although his tenure was short, it was wonderful
I was a Penguins fan and then a Knights fan when that team started up here (Pens still my eastern team). So obviously, Fleury has a special place in my heart.
Was at this game tonight- can confirm: we all wanted Fleury!
They have to start him in his old team’s building
Of course you did you would have scored 8 goals instead of 4 lol
any chance the Pens will bring him back so he can retire here at “home”??
meh
Highly doubtful unless it’s a 1 day contract to retire a penguin but even then they probably won’t. The pens are notoriously (I would say overly so) stingy with honoring players. There are two numbers retired and two jerseys hanging. And Jagr isn’t one of them 😂.
If you ever think to look, compare our rafters to the other teams in the league. For a hockey franchise with the star power that we’ve had, it’s a little crazy.
@@cjwilliams3296 Jagr is still playing professional hockey in the Czech Republic and is thus not retired yet.
@@cjwilliams3296jagr is still playing
@@cjwilliams3296
They’re retiring 68 in February, yo.
Remember when they thought Matt Murray was gonna be the long term option so they let Fleury go?
Murray was not eligible of the expansion draft. He was still considered a rookie.
PEPPERIDGE MUTHAFUCKIN FARMS REMEMBERS!
they didnt let him go, the expansion draft rules had a limited number of players *not available* per team to be removed from the draft prospects, so they protected their core players and starting goalie at the time.
It made sense at the time too Matt just helped win two consecutive cups and look pretty good doing it.
Never forget, pro sports is a business
@@MrLaz0rz They told Fleury at the All Star break there were going to expose him to Vegas because Murray was their guy going forward. He was younger, cheaper and had won them a cup the previous year while Fleury sat on the bench in the finals.
As a Penguins fan, I absolutely love this guy.
I think Sid and Letang could convince him for one more 'go at it,' next year in Pittsburgh. Can you imagine how hot they'd start the season?
But they would be out in the 1st round when Fleury posts a .875 SV%
@@Hated_Siena 0.875 GAA would be historically good 😂
@@keeganstacey6313 Yeah, it would be. Marc Andre Choke has a .875 SV%, and a much higher GAA this season.
As a goalie I couldn’t imagine how Gustafson feels. Imagine everyone just is in love with the other goalie so much they WANT you to get pulled😬
But ofc fleury is amazing
I seriously think they should have put Fleury in net! I was disappointed they didn't. The Wild have also gotta stop taking dumb penalties.
He has a .888 GAA in 11 games. Dude is washed and has been for years.
@@Hated_Sien .888 gaa would acutually be insanely good lol i think u mean .888 save percentage
Caps fans. It's clear to see sid it superior playing at a high level at 36. Ovi doing good? 😂
The Wild and Penguins need to find a way to get Fluery back on the Penguins to finish his career there. It should cost the Penguins a bottom 6 player or a low draft pick.
I was at the game, after every Pens goal we'd scream for Flower. Then the wild started the comeback and we stopped chanting lol
Hearing he's going to retire...now I feel old. I remember being in Halifax for the 2003 World Jrs and his awful looking yellow pads.
I actually loved them with the Penguins colours!
Just awful pads. I miss them!
Same here man. That team had a few stars on it.
Phuck time flies.

It was once “The Big 5”. Remember when Jordan Staal was our 3rd line center?😂
Penguins fan from Lemieux To Crosby 👋
honestly, screw the Wild's coach. Could have put Fleury in net, but nooooooooo. Had to go with Gustafsson
Love these longer videos! Only thing is that I found the back half a little dry… lol
Edit: ah the video was edited so now this makes no sense
Haha sorry about that! I accidentally left that in but should be good now! Thanks for watching
Fleury is the definition of a perfect teammate.
Fleury is something special.... We sure do miss him in Vegas!!! GO Fleury GO- wherever you go!!❤❤❤
I remember back in 2009, I was at my local gas station/convenience store, and some guy came up to me and told me that I looked like Marc-André Fleury, minus the dark eyes. I’ve never forgotten that, because it was after that happened that Flower really got on my radar. I had heard of him and knew who he was and who he played for, but I wasn’t super familiar with him, and I wasn’t a fan. I’ve watched his career ever since, and even though I’m a die hard Flames fan, I always had great respect for Flower and Sid the Kid out over on the East Coast. What a career they’ve both had. Cheers eh 🫡
Not a bad person to be told you look like. I told a guy at a music store the other week that he looked like Phil Kessel (because he did, a lot). He had no clue who Phil is, so I just said he's a professional athlete. I hope the dude never looked him up, haha
Neil walker just casually in the booth
Do any Penguins fans remember the song the radio made after the 09’ cup? I can only remember them singing “our goalies nuts.” I think it was played on the radio or local tv I forgot.
It was a remix of a 90s WDVE song 'We'll kick your Arse'
The remix is called 'Ya Flyer Scum' because it is about the beating the Flyers.
@@HALberdier17 thank you so much I’ve been looking for it forever.
I feel bad for Fleury, he should have gotten to play, that goalie was shit
That high stick on Kirill was such a blatant dive... his stick was in the air and the penguins player skates directly into it and it's still a foot away from his face... Slow mo proves it... The entire game was a joke with how many penalties the wild had called against them...
Ill never forgive the refs who stopped him fighting Bennington. I dont even like fights in hockey but it was such a perfect hero vs villain dynamic
I remember loving the pens and hoping we would get some talent to go with this new goalie who is clearly good...20 yrs later i still wish we never lost him.
I live in sorel like Fleury, we love that guy!
HOCKEY HALL OF FAME FOR AN AMAZING GUY,AND AMAZING GOALIE
Flower🖤💛🤟✌️
imagine flower playing for the oilers and they meet in the playoffs D':
I was there cheering for the wild and chanting We Want Fleury right with everyone else lol
Ight I got no problem with the penguins wanting to trade for fleury if they wanted him to finish his career there. But penguins fans think getting him is gonna turn them from mediocre to full on contender. Like if they wanna be competitive they gotta start going young and let these guys develop for the future. If they keep trying to relive the past their never gonna get back to where they once were
What happened to French Canadian goalies in the NHL? Major decline over the years, must be the European and Russian competition.
If they don't one day contract fleury im done with being a pittsburgh fan. the hextall nightmare was demoralizing enough as is. Let flower retire in the black and gold
This is similar to when Babcock benched Mike Modano to deny him his 1500th game. Wtf are those coaches smoking to make those idiotic calls.
Make this man a head coach so we can have the pranks still
I hope whenever flower decides to retire he can get a one last game trade to Pittsburg to play with Crosby one last time
It would be awesome to see the penguins trade for Fluery and see him finish out his career In Pittsburgh
I'm a little confused. You said there was a double header.
Since I've never seen one before, I was ready to go!!!
But then you cut before the 2nd game even started??
What's up?
In hockey that mean 2 games in 2 nights not in the same day.
Sometimes you need to put the moment over the standings and they lost anyway. He may never play another game at PPG.
Fleury is way better than jarry
While it would have been nice to see Fleury I bet he was sitting there wanting it to be more about his team than him.
Maybe the Pens and Wild can meet in the finals for Fleury's proper send off 😅
Fleury will always be a penguin.
Gotta love how washed up him and the rest of Pittsburgh is
I dont want fleurry. Never wanted him. Mn needs a new gm.
I want him back in the burgh for one last season so
He can retire
It was Middletons 5th not his 4th
I hate the though that I might never see fleury play
Great video
Back the zamboni up, retire, news to me
Fleury is pretty good
how can you not like the guy ?
Pittsburg got rid of Fleury and went with Murray...Hic Up or what ...now they want Fleury !
FLEURYYYYYYYYY THEEEEE GOATTTTT
He’ll be in NY next year lol
Life long pens fan, Fleury is a class act nothing but love, but a couple times he’s faced us we chased him outta of the net. Unfortunately think it’s the right call to have him NOT play against the pens.
Fleury is a HOF goalie. But I think the flower has wilted a bit too much. Doesn't mean we still don't love the guy!
I don’t care what happens with flurry. As long as he takes a one day contract to retire in Pittsburgh then I will be a happy fan for life.
They really tried to summon fleury, that would have been epic
Not me savoring that one season he played for the hawks
Yep i remember the night that Flower came into town with the knights, they did the salute video and we all loved it but im like damn the timing was weird. Right in the midst of the game, its a lot to lay on a guy all at once
I don't care what sweater Fluery wears he will always be "our" goalie. Hope he signs with us to retire.
How is that a "sketchy" call on Hartman? He got punched in the face and was bleeding.
Wish Fleury could’ve finished his career in the Burgh
And the next night he beats Boston and has 40 saves. Love the flower
Would have been a different last bunch of years if the Vegas draft didn't do that to him
Fleury looks like he just walked out of 1952
He needs to retire in a blk and gld sweater. Whatever needs to happen
VGK and Pens Legend!!! Love Flower always
I love how they srill do little pranks evne tho he is getting a standing ovation
Pens should have never got rid of MAF
Why would he retire when he's still got it? Surely plenty of teams could use a goaltender upgrade.
Still has it? He has a .888 GAA right now after 11 game. Thats not a good stat.
Can a team retire a jersey of a former play even if they no longer play for them? Silly question, I know just curious.
After his retirement, sure.
I miss kunitz he won me a lot of fantasy games
Fluery is headed to the Leafs done deal!!
Flower Power. A+ guy.
why did you shorten it lol
Still want flower. Regardless if hes playing or not.
I love gusvsson more
2:55 “Boldly”. It’s ‘Boldy’
Lol at first I was like “yeah, I know” so I went and listened and sure enough, I said Boldly. Not sure where that came from but my bad😂
Yeah the Pens might not be good but it's amazing what Crosby is doing at his age. He should be traded. He can still help a lot of contending teams. Him and McDavid could still do a lot of damage together. Imagine that's the first time we see them play together lol. Oilers could send Nurse to match the salary along with a pick or two.
Pens, bring back Fleury.
Yeah i love gusvton more
The Flower needs to come home for one more playoff run. Lets Go Mario! 🙏
Mario?
Mario is on a golf course or beach somewhere sipping mai tais.
Sure fire way to not win a cup, put MAF in net.
Fleury coming in as a backup would be disrespectful. It was disrespectful not starting him too. It should have been Fleury’s decision, not some coach who doesn’t care about his legacy.
Gus has the big contract now. He's the starter. Kind of sucks considering Fleury can perform still.
@@Felale If there was any team chemistry he would understand. The coach would understand. This is a ONE time thing.
It WAS Fleury's decision. He doesn't like playing in Pittsburgh because it inevitably makes the game about him. He wanted to start the Boston game the next day.
@@smahlt Then why was there a story about him being disappointed about the decision to be benched?
Mate ANY actual nhl fans wants flurry
Vegas fd his career up! A holes!
Vegas F'ed his career? So 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 are Vegas's fault? Who was the goalie in 2019 when the Knights blew a 3-1 series lead against the sharks and then let in 4 goals in 5 minutes? He F'ed his own career up.
the minnesota wild coach sucks he should have put in fleury
Haha penguins. Happy the wild could piss you off
The coach Hynes is such a clown. Worst coach in the nhl. By far
you have clickbait video titles
I have no respect for the wild's coach. Obviously another Babcock.
