I love this. I love Fleury's arrogance. The guy earned it. He's got a ring, he's got Junior and Olympic gold, he played on the 1991 Canada Cup team. He's got 8 30-goal seasons under his belt and a PPG average for his career. He's the 10th highest-scoring player of the 1990's, better than Lindros, Lemieux, Messier, Gilmour, and Robitaille. He overcame serious personal demons to be one of the best hockey players of his generation.

He can talk all the trash he wants about anyone he wants, and frankly hockey needs more retired players willing to do so.
