ST. LOUIS — Marc-Andre Fleury is a renowned prankster, and his reputation was put to good use in a commercial promoting a new stick from hockey equipment manufacturer CCM.
The Golden Knights goaltender disguised himself as former Penguins teammate Sidney Crosby in order to steal a batch of sticks out of the locker of Pittsburgh’s captain.
“I like when they make funny commercials, not just all serious,” Fleury said Wednesday after the Knights’ practice at Enterprise Center. “I think I got the best of him on this one.”
On Friday, CCM released the first commercial in the campaign with Crosby repeatedly scoring on a shooter-tutor tarp with Fleury’s picture on it.
