Marc-André Fleury – The Butterfly Slide, or/ou, La Glissade Papillon



One of a series of videos produced in Quebec by the McDonald’s Hockey Academy (Académie de Hockey McDonald’s), Pittsburgh Penguins’ goalie M.A. Fleury demonstrates excellent butterfly transition and slide technique for goalie coach Dominic Roussel. Notice how Fleury breaks down the movement at the direction of Roussel, but performs smoothly and fluidly throughout: jerky, robotic movements are a sure sign of an unathletic ‘driving range’ goalie. Don’t worry if you can’t speak French– athletics is a universal physical language.

“Répéter, répéter, répéter!” — I think we’ve heard this before…

  1. die hard penguins fan right here, and no fleury is not the best goalie alive, although, i will give him the credit he deserves for being up there with some of the best goalies in the league

  2. Certain things they say in thee videos seem to be head trajectory and box control but explained in another way.

  3. Regarder ça en 2021 après son Vézina et ses 3 coupes et entendre Joel dire ''J'pense que tu vas avoir beaucoup de succès''. YOU BET haha
