Forecast calling for Fleury

So, an up and coming prospect will lose his spot, for sentimental reasons.

The games I've saw him play the last couple years, he wasn't even the best player on the ice playing AAA Senior hockey.

He doesn't have a spot on the bench yet, guys, he has a spot at camp. Nobody takes someone's spot unless they make the cut...

/m

Go Fleury!

He'll be the only guy on the ice with a set of nads as the rest of the Flames and their are a bunch of golfing pussies.

I think it's all about playing in Abby, so a kid that could play there will get sent to say, the ECHL. Where a lot of kids seem to get lost.

ohhh thank goodness... i thought it was going to snow

You know you're going to get reported for using the s word.

I know, that's why I got that warning.

No, can't say I do

I don't care to hear an explanation for that one either

Publicity for the Flames not Fleury .

He's too short. He'll never amount to anything.

I don't think his height will factor in here. What about short players like Martin St. Louis, or Patrick Kane?

He's probably just too old now, lost a step or two, but I wouldn't count him out because of his height.

Sentimental feel-good moment for Fleury and the Flames fans who remember how great he was while he was here. Leaving Calgary was what set him off on his spiral of personal self-destruction in the first place. I doubt much will come of this but you never know. Fleury was very lucky in that he avoided the sorts of catastrophic on-ice injuries that shorten careers for too many of the guys when they're still young, so there is always the possibility that he is physically sound enough to contribute in the same manner that the likes of Messier and Chelios were able to do past age 40. If he gets in a few games at the top level he can at least retire as a Flame, which is what he always wanted to do anyway.

A tentative thumbs up from me for the moment. At least it shouldn't be as hideous as recent Flames attempts to rehabilitate beaten-up old geezers like Darren McCarty, Curtis Joseph, or Tony Amonte.

It was meant as a joke. It was inreference to what people said about him when he first entered the league yet he still made it.

I'm not convinced he can play near as well without the Drugs, but if he can and if he's stayed in Shape, then he'll be an asset to any Team who picks him up.
