I agree for the most part but Fleury wasn't a guy that was overly "protected".
He took his fair share of big shots and abuse from guys on other teams.
If anything his mean streak and physical play as a small guy should have meant he was more likely to get injured in comparison to a guy the same size who doesn't play nearly as gritty.
