Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 07:13:44 GMT

Ten days into training camp, Marc-Andre Fleury was asked if he ever gets tired of being in net with a wave of skaters coming at him and no defense in front of him.Even if he makes the initial save, or even a second, the skaters almost inevitably make a third pass to a linemate for an easy, and superfluous, goal.“I know in my head, ‘This won’t happen in a game,’ ” the veteran goaltender said. “Like, maybe the first pass, I have to be there for that one, and I get a chance there. Then if the third pass gets in backdoor, it is what it is. You still try, right?“It’s fun when you can stop them and you can yell, ‘Go (jump in a lake)!’ ”After nearly 20 seasons in the NHL, Fleury remains Fleury, even as he nears 1,000 career games and, barring injury, becoming the league’s second-winningest goaltender. During several goal-front drills in an hour-long practice Thursday at TRIA Rink, the veteran fought hard for every save, and gave it to teammates when he made them.Good naturedly. Always good...

More snow chances appear low heading into the new year, but there's a good chance we'll see some again in January or February. When snow arrives, almost everyone makes the decision of whether to stay home or venture out.
