dantroit 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) I was just reading Scott Burnsides' column from yesterday and read this. It's a pretty small thing, but thought it was interesting no one had made mention of it. "I don't know. It was just at the game, he does it to us [swinging the octopus]. And after the first two games, I thought I'll give him a little something back. And we won, so it's good," said Fleury. It's not everyday you see the other team's goalie getting into it with the arena crew before a Stanely Cups finals game. The rest of the article is pretty boring, but here's the link if anyone wants it. Edited June 4, 2008 by dantroit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they don't want any more business! The appropriate response should have been, "No, I'm sorry, Mr Therrien, WE JUST RAN OUT!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just don't do that as a professional athlete. It's not a big deal, it's just really immature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ctr022501 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 I think he was actually joking about the Dominos. Why would they waste the time sending OUT for pizza when they have it all there? It was just a joke at the owner, that's all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't really get myself to believe that swinging a dead octopus over your head before a game is any more mature -- be it history or not. In any way, I don't see anything wrong with Fleury shooting some water towards Al, it's not like he hit him in the crotch with his stick like Balfour would likley do. If anything, it seems to show that Al swinging that octopus really gets to the other team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, i really don't see anything wrong with what fleury did...i think it was just all in good fun...its not like he dumped the water over his head or something......i actually saw him do this...to me it look like a little playful gesture on fleury's part...and sobotka didn't really seem to mind it either. It wasn't near as bad as mcleoud picking up the octopus , shaking it at the wings bench and then chucking it at the avs entrance behind the bench...THAT was unsportsmanlike...fleury squirting water at sobotka just seemed like a playful thing he was doing to relieve some tension...no big deal...if sobotka was pissed, which i saw his face....he wasn't....then he'd be pretty much a hypocrite....he swung the octo, and fleury played back with a little squirt...harmless.
