Penguins goalie Fleury plays role from 'Slap Shot'

Marc-Andre Fleury is no stranger to slap shots, but how good would the Pittsburgh Penguins goalie be acting out a scene from the movie "Slap Shot"?

Fleury recently traded his goalie pads for a Charlestown Chiefs jersey and wig, dressing as French-Canadian goalie Denis Lemieux from the 1977 film for a scene posted to the Penguins website Tuesday. Dan Potash, a reporter who covers Penguins games for ROOT Sports, played the role of broadcaster Jim Carr.

Fleury and Potash recreated a famous scene from the movie, when Lemieux explained some of the finer points of hockey in a TV interview with Carr.
