While wishing his most sincere condolences to Mr. Esposito's family and friends, the Sorel goaltender paid tribute to the latter by recalling how he paved the way for goaltenders with a butterfly style. Fleury concluded by mentioning the pride he will have in following in the footsteps of this legend as a Blackhawks goaltender, having been traded to Chicago last July as a complete surprise.
It's enough to endear him to his new fans before the season even starts!
