On the 31 Thoughts Podcast, Fleury discussed this topic with NHL expert Elliotte Friedman and co-host Jeff Marek.
Marek questioned Fleury who in the NHL he enjoyed facing the best, or who he 'owned' the most in front of the net. If you expected Fleury to give a contentious or spicy answer, you don't know Fleury well.
Pleasingly modest, Fleury admitted that his favourite player to face off against was one of the finest ever.
"I can't say I owned him you know? But I love facing Sid in practice," admitted Fleury on the podcast. "I think he's a big reason, I think he has helped me improve in my game and stuff, but he's such a competitive guy too. I love every time he comes down, trying to stop him, and he sticks around and he shoots the rebound. People are coming and he's still trying to score in between."
Fleury is talking about his former Penguins teammate and longtime captain Sidney Crosby.
