If Fleury can forgive his abuser, we probably have it in us to forgive him for not being the best person to be around in the aftermath of that.
He’s one of the greatest Flames of all time. Whether you think he deserves to be honoured depends on the baggage you carry, I guess.
Fact of the matter is, his production and contributions (on and off the ice) put him in a league beyond every player but Iginla. When someone’s con list is comprised almost entirely of “I don’t think he’s nice” then you throw it out the window. He had every reason to fail in hockey and life, but he didn’t, he survived and he excelled.
Put him up in the rafters or don’t. He’ll always be honoured by fans.
