[Russo] Dans le cadre de la Soirée du patrimoine amérindien et pour honorer son épouse autochtone, Marc-André Fleury a fait créer un masque sur mesure par Cole Redhorse Taylor. Mask cite son père au dos et porte les noms de ses enfants. Il est déçu que la LNH lui ait informé qu’il ne pouvait même pas le porter pendant les échauffements.
As part of Native American Heritage Night and to honor his wife, who is native, Marc-Andre Fleury had a custom-designed mask created by Cole Redhorse Taylor. Mask quotes his dad on back, has names of his kids.

What an absolute joke of a league.
This is a beautiful mask! It pisses me off that the NHL won’t allow him to wear it during warmups. What a crock of shit 🤬
If he wore it anyway, what would they do, honestly asking
For those checking the comments:
Fleury wants to wear it, has said he’d eat the fine. But the NHL has also threatened the team itself (not just him) with a « significant fine » if he does according to Allan Walsh, his agent.
Bad look for the league right now.
That is a beautiful mask!
Beautiful gesture and beautiful mask shame the NHL cant get it right
The NHL will fine the team if he wears it. So we all know what to do here. Does the team have a Venmo account? Would not be the first time everyone came together to support flipping the bird at authority lol
Do it anyways. I highly doubt Guerin and Co are gonna bitch about whatever the league throws at them
Fuck the NHL and Gary Bettman

Best sport. Worst league
Have they said what it is about the mask that makes it so he can’t wear it?
Everyone keeps saying the league will find him and the team so he isn’t going to, but why does the league not want him to wear it? Yes, nhl bad, but did they give at least a token reason?
Idiot leadership.
Just a constant stream of Norwoods.
Why is the league so rigid on this?
This is just the definition of making problems where none existed MF’s banned the jerseys because they don’t want to force players to wear pride stuff fine, I guess. I don’t agree but if it’s none of the jerseys period okay, but why the hell can’t individual players have their own shows of support it’s just ridiculous. Now you are literally taking away the rights of players to support causes especially charities as in the case of this helmet which was supposed to be auctioned off as game worn.
Wear it dude. Sick mask.
