Marc-Andre Fleury Makes an Exciting Promise to Fans
Marc-Andre Fleury has been in the league for 20 years. He's done a whole bunch in this time, but there's one thing he still hasn't. He's pledged to do it now.
Fleury Pledges to Drop the Gloves (or Blocker)
After a wild sequence where Evgeny Svechnikov attempted to get Marc-Andre Fleury to fight him, Fleury has made his comments.
"Yeah, he gave me a little shrug," Fleury said as per The Athletic. «I don't know. I wouldn't mind it. I had a fight in junior and broke a knuckle, I had to miss a few weeks. It's the end of the season, so no time for that."
"I kind of want (a fight). But it's not the right time to fool around," said Fleury of being so close to the playoffs.
Wise move not risking injury with the playoffs looming, but knowing Fleury's personality, he will definitely find a way to fight before he eventually retires.
The only question is: who will be the (un)lucky guy that has to up against him?
