Be warned this is one of those annoying links that automatically start a video.
“There’s only one Theo Fleury,” says the one Theo Fleury, when asked about the Flames’ new diminutive talent. “He has less challenges now than I ever did. I was carrying 250-pound defencemen on my back night after night because of the hooking and holding.”
“I love the era I played in. I think I played in the greatest era of talent in the history of the game,” says Fleury, a point-a-game player through 1,084 games. “I was considered one of those guys who had incredible talent, incredible ability. But a guy like Johnny Gaudreau can play in the NHL right now. He couldn’t play in the era that I played in, unless he changed his style of game.”
Sometimes Fleury needs a filter and needs to realize how arrogant he sounds when he talks even if what he says is true.

He's always been cocky, that was makes Theo, Theo. Had to be cocky to overcome everything he did. Also, he isn't wrong.
