The Twitterverse was abuzz on Thursday after the Chicago Blackhawks tweeted a photo welcoming their newest members, featuring a jersey misspelling Marc-Andre Fleury’s name.

Fleury, who was traded from the Golden Knights to the Blackhawks last month, was spelled “Fluery” in the photo.

The tweet was soon deleted and later reposted with a jersey featuring the correct spelling.
