Fleury allows a Draisaitl goal from the other end of the ice

[The Panther]

If John Garrett had called the game:

"No chance for Fleury."

 

[BHD]

Not uncharacteristic of him between 2010-14.

 

[HTFN]

Well when you get the W I can't fault you too much... but this W just turned an oof to a woof. What was he doing?

 

[ijuka]

Played it wrong, but that was also a nasty bounce. Not really worse than your average soft goal.

It is quite a bit worse.

 

[BraveCanadian]

lawl.. remember stuff like this when trashing goalies from the past in highlight reels of goals

 

[Dr Pepper]

Looks like he got Patrik Stefan'd, puck skipping up on him at the worst possible time.

It happens.

 

[Albatros]

It is quite a bit worse.

It's worse when you can track a wishful shot and it goes straight through unobstructed anyway, that's a frequent occurrence. Here you at least had a tough deflection even if he most definitely should have played it safer.

No, this is worse. I guarantee, even I would stop this puck 100 times out of 100. With no gear. Actually, I'd say my little sister would as well, and she's never even put on skates.

It's easy to come up with excuses, but the truth is that he failed to stop it because he went for a risky hero clear instead of simply doing his job, which is stopping the puck.

Hilarious with how slow the puck trickled over the line.

An amateur might have saved that simply by keeping the pads down and moving as little as possible, but that would have been luck rather than skill.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Ridiculous goal for sure. Can't blame Flower too much though.

In other news, the Oilers got their asses waxed. McDraiChard were pretty much invisible. Very impressive outing by the Wild.

 

[deca guard]

the old time great sid abel of redwings would say after this play that fleury 'has a case of the rasberries' , meaning that his cheeks are red of embarasement

 

[Ignatius]

MAF is finishing just like he started. WJC, 2008 Cup winning goal, pretty much his whole career he's been letting in stuff like this sporadically.

 

[BagHead]

A Drai dribbler? Sounds like Doctor Seuss doing color commentary.

Oh dang, I think you just gave me the shtick that'll take me places. Oh, the Places I'll Go.

 

[Cursed Lemon]

That was a hellacious bounce

 

[Melrose Munch]

retire

 

[BagHead]

He's had so many strange blunders over the years.

He is honestly lovable. It's like someone gave Winnie the Poo Hasek's skill and Phil Kessel's affability.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I blame it on the bad ice,

 

[Oddbob]

I don't think that puck could have been going in any slower.

 

[sbhnur]

He just scores from everywhere thanks to McD assisting him!

Love that goal!

 

[north21]

Draisaitl snipe

He put some extra spin on the puck for sure.

 

[BLNY]

Fleury will go down as a great goalie who, when he brain cramps, does it spectacularly.

 

[Ignatius]

I blame it on the bad ice,

I have found Mark Messier's account...

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

Wooof that's a rough one... and he still managed to be the best goalie last night, which shows how good Edmontons goaltending is.

 

[Video Nasty]

Fleury in a nutshell.

Then he flashed a smile, waved his hand over the hockey world, and continued the long con.
