Minnesota Wild roll out the red carpet for former Penguins superstar
The NHL has always prided itself on recognizing and awarding a special ceremony for players who have reached 1000 games played.
Considering how tough the league can be in terms of physicality and length of season and playoffs, it can be grueling on any player's body and mental state.
Marc Andre Fleury, the former Penguins superstar goalie who helped the team win 3 Stanley Cups played his 1000 game and was given a proper ceremony by his current team the Minnesota Wild.
The icing on the cake to a great evening was the fact that the Wild were playing the Pittsburgh Penguins in which his former teammates were able to honor Marc Andre Fleury together.
Prior to the game beginning, the wild gave Marc Andre Fleury a surprise that left him smiling the entire time when his children arrived at the dressing room and read the starting lineup to the entire team.
The whole team was supportive, and everyone enjoy the moment.
Certainly, a hat off to the entire Minnesota Wild organization and general manager Bill Guerin for recognizing what Fleury has brought to the game and given him the proper send off if he decides to retire at the end of the year.
