Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury's teammates admire his positive disposition as much as his premier puckstopping abilities.
He was beloved in Pittsburgh and he's become a folk hero in Las Vegas.
Marc-Andre Fleury, a three-time Stanley Cup winner with the Penguins, appears to have raised his game with the expansion Golden Knights. His reputation as a prime-time player is matched only by the most cheerful demeanor in the sport. He seems to be smiling most of the time.
Life is good for the 33-year-old puckstopper, who is an early favourite for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the NHL's post-season MVP.
