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.

Yeah, back in the day Fleury was awesome!
Whatever else, the guy had skill and drive. He was an incredible hockey player.
Now...he sounds like he should be hanging out with Queen Didulo in her dumbass RV handing out magic sardines or whatever.
Its definitely a conundrum because as a Calgary Flame he was amazing. As a person though? Not so much.
It hurts. I know he's been through Hell, and I've literally cheered for him but now?
I know all NHL players cant be Jarome Iginla or Robyn Regehr...but I cant support Fleury. I cant support this. I'd say 'maybe if he just STFU' but its even too late for that.
