Song from 'Frozen' key to Fleury's Save Streak win
Marc-Andre Fleury can thank his daughters for their instrumental part in helping their dad become the first-ever winner of the Save Streak competition at this year's NHL All-Star Skills Competition.
The Vegas Golden Knights netminder put together a run of 14 consecutive saves to top Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne. The kicker in it all was each goalie got to select the music to be played during their session between the pipes, and for Fleury, his pick caught some off guard: "Let it Go" from the Disney movie "Frozen."
"I thought the title "Let It Go" was very soothing for goalies," Fleury said, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "It's the All-Star Game. You just have to let it go. I thought I was going to get lit up, so I just had to let it go."
Fleury admitted he's a fan of the movie thanks to his daughters and now hopes the Golden Knights will consider playing the tune during shootouts after Saturday's success.
"I'm going to ask Vegas to put it on when we do shootouts," Fleury said. "Just be relaxed."
