Friday’s Hot Coals: I Know A Guy Who Looks Exactly Like Marc-Andre Fleury

Published

on

I was watching the FlamesPenguins broadcast last night and a friend pointed out that MAF looks terrifyingly like a guy we went to college with. So if I accidentally start calling Fleury “Tex” during the Flames/Pens gamethread, you now know why.

On that note, how great is it that the season is finally going, we can actually see if our worry and fretting is worth it or not, and really, just HOCKEY.

It’s rare that the Leafs give Flames fans something to cheer about- last night was one of the few times though. Former Flames forward, Matt Lombardi, long since traded away to Phoenix in the Olli Jokinen saga, then signed by Nashville and traded to Toronto, scored his first goal after a year lost to concussion woes. Not only that, but he did so short handed.
