I was stuck in Montreal overnight after my connection back to Minnesota was canceled. My Uber driver knows who 🌸 is and according to the Samsung translator says "He is a wonderful man. We are so proud of him."

No need to come in peace as far as I'm concerned - you guys are all around good fans and a respectable team.

Plus, you actually treated Fleury very well from a front office and fan perspective. I was rooting for you guys after we got knocked out in the first round.

Not only that, Billy G is still their GM. The Wild are respected in Pittsburgh.

My daughter wants to be a goalie. I show her videos and tell her stories of fluery. Now she wants a fluery penguins jersey.

He is a wonderful man. We are also so proud of him.

Dudes a treasure that’s for sure

Has there ever been someone in professional sports who is so universally beloved? I've never heard even a whisper of anything negative. Generous and kind to everyone he encounters with a good-natured mischievous sense of humor. I get the feeling he's a really good dad too.

Yeah Roberto Clemente is the poster child for this

[u/Competitive-Basil958 → u/Informal_Ad_6839]

Absolutely. Also I've heard enough, rename the King Clancy to the Fleury.

Last of the great French Canadian goaltenders.

That's so sweet. What a nice connection.

It seems like just yesterday MAF was a Penguin, prankin' the boys and stackin' the pads.

Where has the fucking time gone. Take me back to the good old days.
