Such a small guy that played with such a big heart during a time the NHL was ruled by big guys and goons. He would hit, chirp and even fight sometimes while also piling up goals and assists. Such a pain to play against so I loved that he was on my favorite team. Easily my favorite Flame growing up. I also sent him requests in the mail a couple times for an autograph and he sent me back an autographed picture right away, it was pretty awesome. And eventually knowing his background it was easy to cheer for a guy that had a troubled upbringing.
Now......I don't even recognize who he is anymore. Went from a guy I was so proud to cheer for, to.......this. It's just sad. The Theo we knew isn't coming back. If anything he's going even further over the cliff.
Such a shame to watch a guy alienate so many people that were in his corner for decades. He's long gone.
