The Vegas Golden Knights are having fun everywhere, and it seems Marc-Andre Fleury is no different. The three-time Stanley Cup winner shows he’s got some scoring he can provide on his own.

After a back-and-forth, up-and-down drag-out of a Game 1, Marc-Andre Fleury is having some fun on the ice today ahead of Game 2 at T-Mobile Arena against the Washington Capitals.

The 33-year-old has been no slouch when it comes to enjoying the ride, and today at City National Arena for skate around is no different.

Look at those wheels! I want to see Holtby do that. Wait, I actually would like to see that. Goalie shootout after four overtimes, who says no?

After Fleury gave up an NHL video game style goal to Tom Wilson, one of four on the night, it’s good for Vegas fans seeing him let loose a little bit and enjoy game day. Fleury is having an incredible year and coming off the changing of the guard in Pittsburgh, going with the flow is the best thing for the Golden Knights right now.

It helps being loved by the city too. I’m hungry looking at this sculpture of the netminder.

Fleury is just one of those players you can’t help but love to see do well. He enjoys the game completely, takes everything in stride and doesn’t neglect to give credit where credit is due. In a year where the NHL is experiencing the most wild postseason imaginable, a franchise looking to go 1-0 in Stanley Cup Final appearances can’t help but have a great guy in goal.

Also, c’mon. Bark-Andre Furry. That’s downright criminally awesome and definitely worth mentioning again.

I’d love to see Fleury go end to end at least once in this series. Clearly, he’s got the moves to contribute on offense. Pucks on net!
