Former Penguins Teammates Sidney Crosby and Marc-Andre Fleury Trade Final Epic Prank

A little tomfoolery never hurt anybody, and there's been a lot between Pittsburgh Penguins' forward Sidney Crosby and Minnesota Wild Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.

The former teammates, who won three Stanley Cups together in Pittsburgh from 2005-17, happened have accommodations in the same hotel while both stopping in Raleigh, NC to play the Carolina Hurricanes this past weekend.

Fleury, who aside from being the second-winningest goalie in history only behind Martin Broudeur, is also known for being the NHL's most creative — and feared — prankster.

"No, I don't think so. I'd be afraid of the retaliation," Crosby told The Hockey News Penguins Reporter Kelsey Surmacz when asked if he planned on pranking Fleury earlier this season when the Wild visited Pittsburgh.

But that was too obvious. Crosby waited until Fleury would least suspect a surprise and Fleury had the same idea.

Fleury and the Wild were at the rink for their morning skate when Crosby, along with a few accomplices — most likely being former teammates of Fleury's, such as Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, or Bryan Rust — managed to get hold of his room key. They used the opportunity to "rearrange" the furniture in his room, leaving him to find it altered upon his return.

In response, Fleury found Crosby's equipment bag at the rink and decided to play a prank by rubbing Vaseline on his visor, threading his skates on backward, and stuffing beef sticks into his jock strap.

"I was just having a bit of fun. Wait, I've said too much. It wasn't me. I wasn't there," Fleury playfully said to The Athletic's Michael Russo.

Earlier this season, Fleury exercised more of that "fun" with an attempt to get his teammates in bright spirits during a preseason game. Fleury wasn't dressing for a home exhibition against the Chicago Blackhawks, so he disguised himself along with the ice crew and skated out to shovel snow during a timeout.

"I was having a little talk with the staff in the morning," Fleury said. "Just looking for things to do and I got a little bit of a dare I guess, so."

After letting the ice crew handle things during the first two services, he joined them on the third during the first period. With the Wild down by a goal, Fleury skated past the bench, shouted to his teammates, and then got back to clearing the ice.

"I don't know. I went by and yelled at them a bit, but I didn't want to laugh or smile too much," Fleury said. "Just kinda kept doing my job. I had snow to pick up, so."

The Penguins and Wild will meet again this season on March 9 in Minnesota, just two days after the NHL trade deadline on March 7, so another pranking opportunity between Crosby and Fleury that weekend remains up in the air.
