Remember when Jarome Iginla was on the news in the states? Remember when it was a mundane snow report and he didn't attempt to say who he was, his accomplishments, rail against the government, hint at acts of sedation and spout misinformation? What a start difference here.

Theo has always been a clown but at this point he never takes the makeup off.

I believe the population of the greater Ottawa Gatineau area is about 1.4 million. So I'm sure that plus the 3 people who will be there protesting as part of the "revolution" should make Theo's claim accurate.

Iggy is an absolute treasure. Not just for Calgary but our whole nation. He's a ####ing gem.

And, of course, they're the first ones to yell "just shut up and dribble" when an athlete speaks out saying something they don't want to hear.

I have a signed photo of me with him at a Flames Game on my wall. I took it down and replaced it with a Milan Lucic Bruins photo.

What is everyone doing with their Fleury jersey? I’m looking for ideas for my Aaron Rodgers jersey.

Man.. good player, but the Flames made the right call in not raising his jersey to the rafters.

How embarrassed would we be now if we had done so 5-10 years ago.

This kind of goes with why arguing for lining up to employ guys like Kane is probably a mistake in the long run, regardless of how good they are at the game.

Character absolutely should hold weight in this day and age.

Let me know what you come up with. I'm in the same conundrum.

There has to be some way for you to capitalist financially on it.

Make a ridiculous ad playing all the hits? “Use this jersey to wipe lib tears”

Fleury was my favorite player when I was like 13. I also had a huge celebrity crush on Jenny McCarthy.

Needless to say... 13 year old MQS was a *HORRIBLE* judge of character.

I just got off the phone with an American colleague who saw the Fox segment and thinks Theo is the man. He's not quite MAGA, but right leaning.

You might be onto something here. I'm sure the cultists would love to get a hold of his jersey.

He didn’t have a good start in life, yet he fought through that and became an outstanding hockey player. He went from what must have been a living hell to the top of his sport. Unfortunately he’ll never exorcise the demons of his youth, maybe this is his way of trying, I don’t know, but he just comes across as a broken person, trying to compensate for it all by seeking validation as someone of importance.

Can't believe it took this long for people to see through the Fleury facade.

It’s time to stop the “unofficial” retirement of his jersey too, and allow #14 to be used again.

Theo would go to town on whoever took ‘his’ number. It would be a total ####show.

The Flames don’t need that.

i would say that the flames could unofficially retire it and quietly tell any new comers that it is unavailible

the likelihood of having a formal ceremony seems to be pretty low at this point in time

the Flames had zero interest in retiring 14 even before he became a PR disaster firehose.
