I don't see any good reason why we can't choose to do things differently than they were done in the past. Maybe teams should be taking more seriously a player's off-ice conduct and behaviour before they are enshrined their hockey achievements. As good as Fleury was, I have no problem with the Flames withholding this honour from him.
