"I heard it. It was loud," Fleury said. "It was good for him, but I didn't think too much into anything else of it."
It's no secret Fleury wants to play. Now healthy, he believes he could recapture his performance of just more than a month ago, when his season ended with an NHL career-low 2.29 goals-against average in 58 starts.
However, Fleury realizes that's simply not currently in the cards.
"I love to play. I love the game," Fleury said. "I think those games are the most fun, the most intense, the toughest games to win. And when you do win, it's such a great feeling. You work all summer, all season, to make the playoffs to get a chance to chase the Cup. I wish I could play, but that's how it is and that's fine."
Fleury and Murray appear to be quite different. Fleury, 31, is known for his jovial personality and nearly permanent grin. Murray, 21, is considered mature for his age with a more serious demeanor. Fleury described Murray as "pretty calm on and off the ice." Murray has said Fleury's playful outlook helps relieve stress.
With those differences, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said they have built a strong relationship.
