Marc-Andre Fleury isn't done yet! Make major announcement today.

The future Hall of Famer ain't hanging up the skates quite yet!

Trevor Connors

This just in, veteran goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will suit up with long-time friend Sidney Crosby once again.

Just a day after learning that Crosby has committed to Canada for the upcoming IIHF World Championships, we learn that Fleury will be joining him.

From Fleury himself:


"I went home, my kids were crazy and I went, 'Geez... I gotta keep playing, I guess.'"

"I'm excited, I've never played in the World Championships. And I haven't played with Sid in awhile obviously so I think it'll be fun to go spend some time together. Maybe yell at him in practice a bit. Keep him honest in practice."

- Marc-Andre Fleury


One more ride!

The real loser in all of this though is Nathan MacKinnon. You have to imagine that Fleury is going to horn in on all the personal time that MacKinnon had been planning for himself with Crosby.

I kid, of course, but I do think it's worth mentioning the effect that Crosby has on this team's roster. It's very likely that MacKinnon and Fleury turn down Hockey Canada's invite if Crosby isn't involved. Crosby's impact on the sport can be measured in so many ways.
