Sunday marked a special game for Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, as they would play former teammate Marc-Andre Fleury for the last time before 'Flower' officially retires at seasons end, and with the Penguins not set to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs, this is it for Fleury against his former team.
Before the game, Crosby had some emotional comments to make about his long-time teammate, as it was very clear that there would be plenty of emotion in this game.
In the end, 87 would put one past his former teammate en route to the 3-1 victory over Minnesota, and after the game, the veterans all shared plenty of fun banter between each other.
Flower: "I was thinking before the game, there's no way these guys will score on me!"
Meanwhile...
Rusty: "Sid and I were actually joking before the game, I was like, wouldn't that be nice if you got the game-winner tonight? And here we are."

Unfortunately for Fleury, Crosby would put one by him as he registered the 20th goal of a season for the 17th time in his illustrious career, with all of the Stanley Cup winners together sharing some emotional laughs after the game.
Ultimately, this is a game that all of these players will remember for a long time given what they've been through as teammates and recently as opponents, but given the banter they shared, it's safe to say that there's still plenty of love between each other.
