Fleury Lights Up the Saddledome

Well he didn’t exactly light it up on the score sheet, but Fleury still turned the crowd into a frenzy last night with the shootout winner.

After scoring, the crowd chanted his name, and Fleury responded with, “It was obviously special to have your name chanted like that. It was fun to be back in the ‘dome.”

Special? No kidding! I can’t imagine having my name chanted by a packed house!

Post game comments from Theo: “That was pretty exciting. It was fun, it was a fun game to be in. I have played in a lot of big hockey games before and this was one that was special for everybody that has been a fan of mine or cheered for me in the past. The way my life has gone, it doesn’t surprise me that it went to the shootout and I got a chance.”

Anyway, after talking with a few people that were at the game, or at least watched it on TV,it sounds like Fleury started out a little shaky, but slowly improved as the game went on. Definitely not an all-star performance, but I still think that he is worthy of a mention for even attempting this comeback. Good job Theo!
