Watch: Terrific Tribute Video to Marc-Andre Fleury
Emotions overflowed on and off the ice Wednesday night at PPG Paints Arena. First was the Flower's return, then the crowd was standing again when Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier stood up.
Former Penguin Marc-Andre Fleury said prior to Wednesday's game that he hoped he wouldn't cry when he took the ice for the first time as a visiting goaltender at PPG Paints Arena. He didn't stand a chance during the first TV timeout when his former team honored him with a tribute video.
