I’m preeeeetty sure that he wore eyeliner to try and throw off the other players during practice, so just your typical MAF shenanigans. It’s also probably a reference to Will Ferrell’s Semi-Pro

Eye Black is indeed used to reduce glare but you never wear it that close to the eye where it’s literally on your eye lids or in place of eyeliner. It goes under the eye and is a much wider application, honestly think like a tube of lipstick in consistency and texture.
never not thinking about flower in eyeliner.........

“There is one athlete who stands apart in terms of humility, normalcy and common decency: Marc-Andre Fleury. - For everything Fleury has been through, for all the criticism he has endured, he has remained as down-to-earth as any person you’ll meet, athlete or otherwise. He’s the type where if you’re sitting at his locker talking to somebody else, he’ll simply say, “Excuse me.” That might not seem like much — normal people say “Excuse me” all the time — but I’ve seen athletes get way bent out of shape over this. Like, “How did this lower form of life take residence in MY seat? Somebody do something!” - I think, because of their station in life — the money, adulation, special treatment — it’s hard for professional athletes to retain a sense of humility. I’ve seen many change over the years, morphing from humble rookies to entitled veterans, so I commend those who are able to retain a sense of, “Yes, I’m just a person.””
