I remember Theo picking a guy's pocket at the Flames blue line and turning up ice with one man to beat.
By the time he hit the far blue line, there were three defenders back and two Flames holding up to keep from going offside. And that was only a preseason game.
Theo was my favorite Flame even years after he left, but in his comeback his legs were gone, and no amount of heart could allow him to keep up in the NHL.
The Flames saved him a lot more embarrassment by sending him home, IMO
