I don't know about overreacting, I think in most other sports one of your best ever players saying they want their biggest rival to win a cup would be torches and pitchfork territory. I do understand why he wouldn't care that much but I also ####ing hate fairweather people and value loyalty immensely.

I doubt Theo Fleury gives a crap about the Calgary Flames. Loob does, and maybe Tim Hunter(and Peplinksi). But Newy spent more time on other teams, won more cups on other teams (and swept Edmonton on the way to Dallas’ win). He hasn’t been a Flame for 30 years and I suspect he’s far more a Dallas Star than a Calgary Flames in his own mind, given he was the GM.
