Keeler: Bo Byram hurt Marc-Andre Fleury’s feelings on Avs’ opening night. And it was glorious.

Did you see The Flower wilt?

Four months too late, but whatever. Ten minutes into the season opener, there was Marc-Andre Fleury, shaking his head, spanked by a 20-year-old, trailing 3-0 at Ball Arena and looking for the reset button on the PlayStation.

Bo Byram made The Flower feel bad.

Man, did that feel gooooood.

“Obviously, it’s something you dream about for a long time,” Byram said with a grin late Wednesday night after firing the third goal, his first in an Avs sweater, during a 4-2 win over Chicago in the season opener.
