What a whirlwind the past year has been professionally for Marc-Andre Fleury.
The veteran has been humbled with a heavy dose of patience. For the former kid thrust into the NHL at age 18 back in 2003, it truly was uncharted territory over the last year to watch as Matt Murray backstopped the Penguins to a Stanley Cup in 2016, with nothing for Fleury to do but don a baseball cap from the bench, bite his lip and be happy for his brothers who were involved.
The concussion suffered by Fleury on March 31st 2016 was the worst of timing possible, his second of the season and just weeks before the playoffs.
