When Theo Fleury was a Ranger, he said, he would stay out all night drinking, doing cocaine, going “below the streets of New York City” to “party with freaks, transvestites, strippers” or to “hang out with homeless guys around a burn barrel” on the West Side piers.
He substituted Gatorade or his baby boy’s urine for his own in drug tests until, finally, he had to take a break from hockey to enter a substance-abuse program. Much of his time as a Ranger, from 1999 to 2002, he remembers as a “nightmare.

Even when reading his book at the time I wondered how much was true, and how much was fabricated.
Like - I'm sure he partied hard, and spent a lot on strippers. Hanging out with homeless guys around a burn barrel - probably not so much. Feels like it was added so he seemed like less of a rich dickhead.
Plus the homeless guys would have stabbed him for his watch.
