Theo overcame incredible odds just to make it to the NHL. It all makes his on-ice achievements even more astonishing. An absolutely electrifying player who brought it every night. He consistently got under the skin of opponents, while putting up huge offensive numbers. Pure talent with a relentless drive to win.
We all know Fleury’s story, we have seen the articles, and read the books. In Playing With Fire, he openly admits to his shortcomings as a teammate. He is an addict with a lot of personal demons.

browna, you’re one of my favourite posters but I’m really not comfortable with this type of post. It comes across as gossip, without any back up. If you can elaborate on this, please do.
