The prank: It was the 2016-17 season, and the defending Cup champion Penguins were in Tampa for a road game. Rick Tocchet, then a Pittsburgh assistant coach, says Fleury somehow snagged one of their trainers iPhones, downloaded the dating app Tinder and set up a profile for the unsuspecting staff member.
