Honest question.

I came to say this. I can pick out at least 10 posters in this thread who have ''crapped all over the organization'' worse then Theo ever did. And their comments are stuck on the internet forever. That doesn't make them any less of a fan. And just because Theo had some negative things to say (in which no one has directly quoted btw) doesn't make him any less of a player.
At the end of the day, sure he might have been an ass during parts of his tenure here. But the entire city wasn't pleased with the team during that time. He just happened to be the guy with a microphone stuck to his face because the media was well aware of how many quotes they could get from him.
Retire his #. 20 years from now when I go to the 'dome with my kids and we look up to see Fleury at the rafters, I can share stories with them of the many times I got to watch him play and just how exciting he was. No one is going to care 20 years from now how his legacy was tarnished because of what he said about the organization. He has more then made up for it. The Flames are a classy organization. I have faith they will do the right thing.
