Fleury attempts to get young fan out of class with funny video to teacher

If you ever need someone to get you out of social studies class, Marc-Andre Fleury seems to be a pretty good choice.

During a morning skate last month, as the Minnesota Wild goalie was signing autographs, a young fan, Luc, had a special request for Fleury: Ask Luc’s teacher to excuse him from class that day.

After a quick laugh, Fleury was happy to comply, and it made for a great video.

“Ms. Huska, can you please excuse Luc from missing class today?” Fleury said while looking at the camera, giving a thumbs up afterwards.

We’re not sure if Luc got excused from class that day, but according to a comment by him on the original video, he shared the message with Ms. Huska, who had a good laugh at the attempt.

If the video did get Luc out of class, that might go down as one of the better saves of Fleury’s career.
