Instead of taking the high and honorable road, Theo decided to take a dump on the organization, and fan favorite Craig Conroy in particular. With the sourest of grapes, Fleury posted the following in January 2010 after being cut in his 2009-2010 comeback attempt:

Wow, what a year! At this time last year, I was 45 pounds overweight and thinking about making a comeback. HAHAHAHA! Anyway, we put our nose to the grindstone and boy did we make a comeback. At one hundred and eighty pounds, I finished 11th out of 56 guys at camp in the fitness test and scored a historic shootout goal in an exhibition game after being out of hockey for six years. What does that say about the talent level in the NHL? 4 points and a plus 4 rating in four exhibition games and I get cut. What a joke! Craig Conroy goes the first 37 games of the season with zero goals. I wonder how many I would have had. Even with all the stupid people that run the game of hockey, it’s still a great game. Go figure. Anyway, then the book comes out and starts flying off the shelves. The truth will set you free! 100,000 copies and counting. Thank you for all your support.

There is so much insecurity and bitterness to unpack there. Maybe most notably the 'historic' shootout goal in a
preseason game.
Have at 'er.
