What made the prank fantastic with that Fleury skated by his own bench and told his teammates to let's go boys! To which none of the players on the bench knew who he was. It was well after the whistle when his teammates realized who he was.
Fleury Is well known through the NHL as one of the most active pranksters against players, coaches and other members of NHL organisations. The former Blackhawks goaltender who spent one year in the Windy City has had a storied career which began with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2003. He has won 3 Stanley Cups all with the Penguins, a Vezina trophy other accolades to add to his name.
The soon to be 40-year-old has made it clear that this season will likely be his last in the league and many fans will be sad to see him go as he has brought many fans to the game with his play and his generosity and support to the communities he's played for.
As he's aged, he's become an iconic figure within the league and it's safe to say that the league will not be the same once he decides to retire as a player. Many hope that he will remain in the NHL in another capacity whether it's through management, coaching or working with the NHL fan base.
In the meantime, fans, the Minnesota Wild and other NHL organizations will get to enjoy more pranks that he has in store.
