I'm not sure how many of you HAVEN'T heard this news already because it's been the talk of the internet for the past few days, but its definitely HftL-news-worthy, so I figured I'd post it JUST IN CASE ...
Did you know that Fleury was approached by ESPN to be in "The Body Issue?" YES - THAT "Body Issue!"
Don't get me wrong, I like Fleury ... he's a cutie with that huge smile of his and his sense of humor is quite charming / attractive, but I'm not so sure he's "Body Issue" material (and he said it himself ... in not so many words, but ...). According to the video interview (with CBC) that was posted by 96.1 Kiss FM's "The Morning Freak Show," it was Fleury's decision not to do it and that the Penguins organization wanted him to most likely for the publicity (that's a little hard to believe, but you never know -- I highly doubt MAF would make that stuff up!)!
Q: Which of your teammates is the best candidate to pose nude for ESPN Magazine?
Fleury: No, actually, they asked me this summer, but I declined ... I guess they're looking for goalies ...
Q: Did Mario shut you down?
Fleury: The Penguins wanted me to do it, I guess to promote the team .. That's not me. I'm not the big, buff guy with the big muscles.

I think that if the picture of Ryan Kessler is any indication of what Flower's picture could have been like....Sorry about that, I was just letting my mind wander...
I also agree with you to a point while Flower may not be as buff as others, I still think it would have been interesting...Then again, I wouldn't have minded seeing some of the other Penguins pose...
FUNNY!!! Wasn't it you who said your husband calls this site your "hockey porn?!" Point taken ...
LOL ; P
One of the MANY reasons I love writing on this site!!!
I also started a post that relates to this very issue in response to something one of the Pittsburgh radio hosts had to say about Kesler, Fleury, and the whole "Body Issue." Hopefully I'll be able to finish it and get it posted because it's just something I need to get off my chest!
THANKS for commenting!!! ; D
Um, Mr. Shero...if you and the rest of the Pens organization wanted Flower to do it to promote the team, all you need to do is look at all the guys in the locker room and help the ladies who love them. Hello, give us a Pittsburgh Penguins body issue!!!! that'll promote the team and hell, give us something to drool on..I mean look at from now until we die. Kthxbye :)
I couldn't agree more, Kiki_isTHEbunny!!! That sounds like a perfect solution to me!!
Yes, it was my husband who said that this is my porn site. btw, he is also the one who told me about this site. And I so totally agree with Kiki. Give us a Pens body issue. Sorry, but I now need to wipe up my drool...
an all Penguins body issue, can you imagine?????
@mtfree -- I thought so ... you've got a KEEPER! ; D
@AussieGal -- I COULD, but I don't think it would be in my best interest since it would probably have terminal consequences!!! : P
APPRECIATE the comments, ladies!!!
How about a Penguins Body Calendar? All of the Penguins buff hotties IN the buff! In addition to the Penguins & Paws, the proceeds from the Body Calendar could go to the shelter, too. A Body Calendar would provide a nice alternative and would definitely "promote the team".
I know Fleury said no one would want to see some "tall, skinny guy", and he is, but ladies, he is ripped, as are the rest of them.
@Fleury29Forever -- GREAT IDEA!!! But now you've made me feel guilty about semi-"dissing" him ... it's harmless, but I just don't think of him when I think of nice, buff, HP bodies ; P I honestly think I'd be excited seeing any of the penguins in one of those magazines (and I'm surprised that they would want them to do that -- I would think that it would be the wrong type of publicity for them)!
THANKS for the comments!! :)
No guilt. He's definitely not going to make the cover of Muscle Magazine, 'cuz he's more wiry than bulked up. I think they could do a calendar in the same vein as the ESPN body issue where all of the pictures had a tasteful arty look rather than a Playboy/Playgirl pornography look. I'd even settle for mostly nude (like in a Speedo or something). Oh well, we can only dream.
@Fleury29Forever --- BETTER than speedos ... UA (Under Armor) ... that stuff is the greatest invention (for looking at HP) since bare skin!!! ; P
LET'S GO PENS!!!
