Marc-Andre Fleury is having a time.
The Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender was perfect Wednesday against the Washington Capitals, and after making an incredible save on an Alex Ovechkin one-timer with the shaft of his goal stick in the second period, Fleury showed his stick, some, uh, love.
Here's a better look at the save:

The Fleury story is one of the best of the playoffs, and it got even better after the Penguins eliminated the Capitals with a 2-0 win in Game 7.
