When it comes to pranking players Minnesota Wild's goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is got to be one of the best for his numerous pranks he's done to teammates throughout his career.
Fleury Talks Prank
Fleury's pranking has been well documented that even Joe Smith of the Athletic wrote a full article about it including on that's been kept secret until now and it's epic.
Smith was told by some former players and coaches that Fleury played matchmaker by pulling a hilarious prank on one of the trainers using the Tinder app. Rich Tocchet then a Pittsburgh assistant coach and now in charge of the Vancouver Canucks' bench, revealed how Fleury managed to get a hold of one of the trainers' phone only to download Tinder and fake message a woman.
"Tocchet recalls Fleury's fake message: �I'm (a trainer) for the Penguins, we won the Cup last year, if you want to come to the game,' That was the long and short of it.
"(Fleury) got her front-row seats, club seats. He rolled out the red carpet for her. They were packing the bus up, and the girl was with the families in that section and waiting. So (the trainer) walks by her and has no clue. She's like, �Do I give him a hug or say hi?' He was like, �What is this girl doing?' That was all Flower! But they ended up dating for a couple months, so the story turned out really good."
That's crazy stuff For sure It's a long NHL season so you got to have some fun to keep your spirits up and if I was a member of the Minnesota Wild I'd be keeping a eye on Fleury so he doesn't prank me.
