As a new Hockey from the UK I can’t give an opinion on how good he is, especially vs other goal tenders, I’m not educated enough on hockey (I’m getting there). I went to my first ever game in Vegas 5 years ago, unaware they were a new team let alone who the players were. I saw him play and was absolutely mesmerised by how good he was. I’ve watched the sport ever since, he got me hooked. A sure sign of greatness when you can capture a new fan to the sport by just playing. Vegas is my team now, I watch most games (not easy over here!) but I always look out for fleury. I watched every video on KZbin of him making remarkable saves and winning the cup with the Penguins.

Flower doesn't just stop pucks, he shames the puck publicly. One time, Flower attended the running of the bulls, no bull made it passed the opening gate. Every time flower does pushups on ice, an earthquake follows.

When he visited the Hawks I was so pumped. Everyone that gets the chance to play with Fluery is a better team for it. He helps with mental fortitude, gets rookies to calm down and treat game day like any other day. Dudes a beast

@@HelloMattMat With the expansion draft they could only protect 1. And that 1 should have been Fleury. He beat Ottawa, pretty much, by himself on their way to the stanley cup. Matt had 1 good season and that was all. Should have been used as trade bait before the draft to get some pics or some prospects.

He is the most overrated goalie in history who has no business in the hall based on skills. He got bailed out by his team or Murray for all of the cups and has wasted his teams multiple seasons throughout his career with playoff choking. Had he not played for superteams for most of his career, he would be remembered as an above average goalie but a bust 1oa, which he obviously still is. But for whatever reason people base their entire opinion on him on his nice personality, the Lidström save and the Caps game 7 (which were of course mentioned in this video lol).
@jason.s.music.3 ай бұрын
He has a .912 sv% in 1028 games and is the second winningest goalie in NHL history. You're actually just stupid if you believe that.
