I can't say for certain the tone in which it was said, but that seems more like a compliment than anything else. Players like Fleury should be hated by their opponents. This wasn't Conroy talking about an ex-teammate, this was Conroy talking about an ex-opponent who was known, and thrived, getting under people's skins. I would bet a small sum that that quote was not meant to be insulting or was taken as an insult.
