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

If the Flames did not step in as they did that season, Fleury may still well be still be under league wide suspension that he got in 2003 for multiple infractions of the substance abuse program. Instead, the Flames got him to retire with dignity and it allows him to get a pension. It must have been with much trepidation the organization put him into the sideshow exhibition games.
That said, probably the least surprised at his pot shot at Conroy wouldve been the organization, who had to have dealt with this sort of drama from Fleury for most of the 90s and since.
