When Marc-Andre Fleury was traded from the Vegas Golden Knights to the Chicago Blackhawks and reportedly learned so on social media, fans were quick to bring up how the future Hall-Of-Famer has been disrespected many and often times throughout his illustrious career.

You could say the same thing was done on Thursday afternoon, though in a much funnier and less serious manner. The Blackhawks posted and then quickly deleted a tweet captioned «new friends, new threads». In this Tweet, they had all of the new acquisitions name plates on the back of their uniform, however there was just one problem. Fleury's name was spelt 'Fluery'. Fans quickly noticed and poked fun at the picture, prompting the team to quickly take down the post.

Obviously this is nothing serious and more funny than anything else, but you'd think that whoever put together the picture would have double checked to make sure there were no errors. Blunder aside, both the Blackhawks team and its fans should be very thankful to have Fleury in between the pipes this season, as the reigning Vezina Trophy winner should give them a great shot at getting back into the playoffs in 2021-22.
