Hockey Above All Else

“I think [leaving will be] hard. This is like my home,” Fleury said. “It’ll be tough. I don’t know what’s coming and I’m glad people remember me as a good person, not just a goalie. I feel like that’s important for me.”

“I’m happy I had the chance to take the last lap with my [Penguins] jersey on,” Fleury said, “and the Cup in my hand.”

remember the white dress i wore all through that film? george came up to me the first day of filming, took one look at the dress and said: “you can’t wear a bra under that dress.”

“ok, i’ll bite,” i said. “why?” and he said: “because… there’s no underwear in space.”

he said it with such conviction. like he had been to space and looked around and he didn’t see any bras or panties anywhere.

he explained. “you go into space and you become weightless. then your body expands but your bra doesn’t, so you get strangled by your own underwear.”

i think that this would make for a fantastic obituary. i tell my younger friends that no matter how i go, i want it reported that i drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra.
