An Engaging Chat with Max Pacioretty and Marc-André Fleury
Max Pacioretty: Hey Marc, how’s it going? It’s been a while since we’ve caught up properly!
Marc-André Fleury: Max! I’m doing great, thanks. Just been busy with the season and all. How about you? How’s the family?
Max Pacioretty: Everyone’s doing well, thanks. The kids are growing up way too fast. It feels like just yesterday they were learning to skate. Speaking of which, I saw that viral video of your son making that crazy save in your backyard. Future goalie in the making?
Marc-André Fleury: Haha, yeah, he’s got some of my moves, for sure. It’s amazing how kids pick things up. How’s the training going for you? Any new routines or techniques you’re working on?
Max Pacioretty: You know, trying to stay on top of my game with some new off-ice stuff. Got introduced to this insane VR training that helps with reaction speed and decision-making. Technology these days, man!
Marc-André Fleury: VR training, huh? That sounds intense. Anything to keep that wicked slap shot of yours deadly, right?
Max Pacioretty: Exactly! And speaking of deadly, I was just reminiscing about that time we were on the same team and you made that unbelievable save against Crosby. Do you remember that game?
Marc-André Fleury: Oh, I definitely remember! It was like slow motion in my mind. The crowd went wild, and I still get goosebumps thinking about it. Good times, man. But hey, any big plans for the off-season?
Max Pacioretty: We’re planning a little getaway, just to unwind and spend some quality time with the family. Maybe head up to the mountains for some hiking. What about you?
Marc-André Fleury: That sounds awesome. We’re thinking of a beach vacation. The kids love building sandcastles, and let’s be honest, I could use a bit of sun too! Anyway, it was great catching up, Max. Let’s not wait so long next time.
Max Pacioretty: Absolutely, Marc. Take care and good luck with the rest of the season. Let’s make some more unforgettable memories out there!
