He won three Stanley Cups as a Penguin, and helped turned the team from a bad one to a historically great one. Even though he’s gone, Pens fans still have love for Fleury. Dick’s Sporting Goods in Pittsburgh starting selling Fleury and Knights gear to keep up with demand. Season-ticket holder Bill Diamond had no thoughts of taking down his framed jersey. Pittsburghers say they’ll be watching this week’s Final with hopes that he raises another Cup.
