The latest on the crazy situation between Fleury and the Golden Knights.

If you missed our first story on this I highly recommend you go back and look at that before continuing.

On Saturday Allan Walsh, the agent who currently represents Las Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc Andre Fleury, published a picture on social media that I can only describe as shocking. The picture featured his client being impaled by a giant sword as he attempted to make a save, a giant sword that had a name clearly scrawled across it, that name was "DeBoer."

Given the goaltending controversy that has been going on in Vegas the message here was plain to see and all of the questions that have come as a result have focused in on the relationships between Fleury and Golden Knights head coach Peter DeBoer and Fleury and the Golden Knights organization as a whole. The team has since attempted to deal with the situation internally and here is what we know so far. 

Sportsnet National Hockey League insider Elliotte Friedman first reported that the Golden Knights were inclined to ignore the comments from the agent insisting that Fleury remained with the team, however now it seems that some action has indeed been taken.

According to Friedman the Golden Knights have since met with Fleury, and frankly I can hardly blame them, to discuss the issue and walked away from that meeting satisfied that this would not become an issue for the team moving forward. Friedman added that he expects Fleury will have more to say on the matter tomorrow, which will no doubt be extremely interesting. 


I will say here as I stated in our previous article on the topic that I do not believe for a single second that Allan Walsh acted of his own accord here. The statement was made in such a brutal and graphic way that I do not believe even for a second that Fleury was not heavily consulted before something of this nature was done. Never in all my years of covering the National Hockey League have I seen a player agent come out in so brazen a fashion and throw a coach under the bus, especially not in the middle of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
