IMO, Fleury deserves to have his number retired. Not every player says the right things all the time. He was never the pc guy when speaking to the media but he was all heart. A very emotional guy and it served him well. He led the Flames through some dark days. I remember watching his stats in the paper when he was with Salt Lake. He was a phenom. I couldn't believe they weren't calling him up. When they finally did call him up, you couldn't take your eyes off him. He was a point per game player who also racked up the penalty minutes. Theo must have been hell to play against. He was a beauty.
Retire his number already.
