MAF gets a shutout and 3 standing ovations in final game in MTL

[Devonator]

Classy move by Hab fans!!!

Very cool scene. I’m a Michkov man, so I’ve had some spats with some Habs fans here, but no denying that’s the best hockey city in the world.

but isn't it possible that MAF gets traded at the trade deadline onto a team that will play the Habs again?

It's like a .000001 percent

 

[BB79]

I'm sure that meant a lot to MAF, good on Habs fans for giving him a night to remember

 

[Al Lagoon]

Someone recently posted a thread that they thought MAF was overrated.

Really? The stats say BS, but the man? Get lost!

Sorry I’m not in the loop.

Why is it his last game?

Last game in Montreal. Unless they meet in the cup finals. Which is extremely unlikely

Thank you.
In today’s world… you never know.

Class act

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Great moment. No denying his legend status, and he's a truly good person.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Classy fans. Nice to see this sort of thing.

...my wife cried after the game...don't tell her I told you...

Yes, at first she's whatched future HOF Fleury. Then she's gone home with you. I don't blame her that she had cried.

just joking

I hope he doesn't stay away from hockey for long.

He needs to be an ambassador for the sport in some way.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Montreal I respect your game. Class act!!

 

[thadd]

He needs to be an ambassador for the sport in some way.

Since he's so likeable and relatable, you'd think he'd be a great goalie coach, no?

One would think... but great players and awesome personalities sometimes don't make good coaches.

 

[OtherThingsILike]

Canadiens fans are pretty great.

but isn't it possible that MAF gets traded at the trade deadline onto a team that will play the Habs again?

He says he has no intention of leaving Minnesota. I guess it's possible he'll change his mind, but it's completely up to him if he wants to move.

I never played team sports past the age of 13, so I can't say with confidence what kind of personality traits make a good coach.

That being said, a lot of goalies come across as space cadets compared to players of other positions. I can't see someone with personalities like Roy, Trotz or Mike Keenan being suitable to coach them.

Maybe I'm wrong.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Good on you Habs fans.

Awesome moment for Flower

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Classiest thing I've seen them do.

Well deserved for the Flower.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Congrats Flower on an amazing career

 

[bobholly39]

Certainly nowhere near the best goalie, but absolutely tremendous career. He's done it all, often, in playoffs and regular season.

good for him
