Earlier in the day, Fleury received his Stanley Cup ring from Mario Lemieux and it instantly brought back fond memories of when “Flower” was a Penguin.
The reminiscing of the good old days didn’t stop there, as Fleury and Phil Kessel had a funny exchange in the hallway of the PPG Arena.
Finally, the Penguins honored their former goaltender by playing a video tribute to Fleury prior to the game. After receiving a standing ovation and an official welcome back from the PA Announcer, the camera caught Fleury getting emotional after the overwhelming support from his former club.
With not a dry-eye in the building, including Fleury, it’s clear that he will go down as a fan-favorite and the fans will always support their former brick wall, despite the opposing jersey he wears.
