Minnestoa Wild goaltender Marc-André Fleury came out with a shocking reason for one of his strangest superstitions that was caught on camera during Wednesday night's game against the St. Louis Blues. Fleury was mic'ed up throughout the game, and after some footage was released alongside commentary from Fleury himself, fans pointed out something peculiar.
Fleury Speaks to His Goalposts in Different Languages
After what has been regarded as one of the wildest games this year, which saw Fleury almost fight opposing goaltender Jordan Binnington, Fleury's agent came out with some interesting information regarding one of his mic'ed up moments.
Apparently, Fleury doesn't know if the steel that the posts are made from is originally from the United States or Canada, so he thanks them in both English and French to stay polite. This is one of the more odd superstitions we've seen in recent years, but Fleury is quite the character, so we're not surprised.
Fleury has a history of thanking his posts during games, along with a few other in-game superstitions. These mic'ed up moments let fans see into the mind of one of the NHL's more outgoing characters, and we can't wait to see more from Fleury!
