Marc-Andre Fleury Appreciation Thread (Selected by Vegas in exchange for 2020 2nd)

[Clare2904]

Sorry you have to wear that God-awful jersey now MAF and the defence in front of you will suck harder than a *****

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I also love Fleury's comment on being the face of the VGK franchise.
He won't be there long.

 

[Lara Emily]

what's your point

The jerseys are really ugly


A Fleury Knights Tee would probably look nicer and be cheaper

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Best of luck Flower.

na not as cool

 

[Pens x]

I wanted Fleury gone but now I feel bad after seeing the roster.

 

[shureshot66]

L-R: Fleury, Guillaume Lefebvre, Matt Bradley, Ramzi Abid, Orpik, Rico Fata.

I mean, even by the standards of the time, why the **** is Lefebvre there? Like, you couldn't have Kraft or Surovy? They sucked as well, but at least there was a shred of pedigree there.

Oh man... I thought I had them all. But I thought Lefebvre was Morozov.

Jesus Christ.

Total respect for MAF!!! Really a class act. I will root for him in Vegas.

 

[BHD]

I'll say this... I'm glad to see him go out on top. You couldn't have written it any better.

Thanks for the memories (and the wins), Marc-Andre.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

He looks thrilled

 

[Corvidae]

Meh, he'll be back in a few years. Book it.

 

[SEALBound]

I wish MAF the best of luck in Vegas. He has a plenty good resume for his career.

I will not however shed one tear that he's gone. I won't sugercoat my disappointments with him in 2010-2014. I believe his lackluster post season performances cost us success. Not 100% on him but I do think he played a big role in it. It was time to move on. With that, I appreciate what he DID do here. 2008 and 2009 were amazing. His performance in the first two rounds this year were stellar. And for that I thank him.

Why is his jersey 17?

They didn't make up any personalized ones for the event. All of the new guys in attendance got a (20)17 jersey.

Serious question, what chance do you give Fleury coming back in 2 years?

He'll be 34, probably on the downswing of his career....does he take a discount to come back? I give it a 50/50 shot right now

Depends upon what happens in the next two year. If he gets shelled, then he won't have many real options. If he stands on his head and makes that team better than its play in front of him suggests that it should be, then he'll find a starting job in Vegas or elsewhere.

I'd reply like to think our front office is better than that now. I guess we'll have better idea when we see what happens with Kunitz.

I think it's actually very real unless he plays like an undisputed starters for a better part of two years with little sign of wear. And if you look at it objectively, he'll be on a lesser team and approaching 35, so that might not happen. And Pickard is pretty good (I think, hard to tell with that team) so they have a younger option if Vegas doesn't plan on flipping him. If he wants to be a backup or split a little time, I think that would.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

He looks thrilled

Hahaha

@ your comment... Not him

 

[DanielPlainview]

Oh, NHL. You could have had Nordiques in all their glory.

 

[Zirakzigil]

He will be missed. Wish him all the best with Vegas.

 

[The GM]

Why is his jersey 17?

I think the more important question is why did he change his last name to Las Vegas knights?

 

[wizmet12]

Good luck Marc-Andre and thank you for everything (

 

[Brandinho]

He looks thrilled

Reminds me of the POW photos where they're making secret distress signals with their hands.

Ultimate team player.
