Marc-Andre Fleury is the ultimate competitor, you don't win three Stanley Cup Trophies without having that in your blood. In the twilight of his career, Fleury is currently battling for starts with Minnesota Wild's other goalie Filip Gustavsson.

Last night during the shootout Fleury was showing his vintage fire in his belly sending a message to the division rival Chicago Blackhawks. In the shootout Fleury welcomed Connor Bedard to the league with the patented hack to the skates. The play sent Bedard falling to ice, before he was approached by Fleury who said something to the rookie.
Fleury followed that up with a save in Taylor Hall before sending him sprawling into the end boards.
Chicago's third shooter Lukas Reichel was stopped, the forward attempted to sneak a rebound behind Fleury, something which is clearly not allowed. Fleury stopped the rebound before firing the puck back at Reichel.
It's clear at 38 years old, Fleury is still hungry to fight for starts and win hockey games which will be fun for Wild fans and the NHL as a whole.
