But there is the elephant of the sexual assault allegations that cast a pretty heavy shadow on the nostalgia of that team.

Yeah, I remembered watch Fleury and his pads with my nephew. We ended up calling him Banana Boy because of his pads.
And yes, that team played with a lot of heart! IDK is it because of my distaste of Dave Cameron, I just don't see heart with this team.
