I feel that every time he gets close, he says something dumb and sets himself back a bunch of years. He just can't help himself. If there's a choice between being humble, supportive or silent versus self-serving, negative or backhanded, Fleury will always choose the latter. Obviously Flames ownership has a criteria that goes beyond the ice, which is there prerogative. If Fleury is too dense to figure that out, his loss.
The last thing the Flames want is to have him bad mouth a current player, management or the organization during his retirement ceremony or thereafter.
