    Theo Fleury was in studio to talk about 'The Victor Walk' and his plans to raise awareness of child sexual abuse in Canada. Like many Canadians, he also loves talking hockey and in this clip offers his thoughts on the NHL lockout, his respect for players that came before him, how he burned through his NHL earnings of 50-million dollars, if he could make it in today's NHL and whether NHL players want to compete in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. (Hint: they do!)

      freddä d are you kidding ? 99% of the time he was high.. he doesn't deserve shit.. if I could have afforded his habit I'd be pro too.. better than roids.. he deserves nothing but the spit off the ground on 7th Ave in calgary.. I rocked his jaw outside a ripper joint called O'Brians in the late 90s the bouncer Clint saved his life.. piss on theo he's a goof.. calgary forgot about him ages ago..

      Daniel Everitt. rocked his jaw. damn what a bad ass. whatever, he had his issues. who gives a shit. he turned his life around and that's what matters. he's not a huge guy and was probably drunk when you hit him. since he was always messed up. I'm sure you would whoop on tony twist and stu grimson also

      Disliked by NHL executives and team managers. Was an asshole in the locker room and is now a far right political activist; he will never be in the hall of fame

    Watching in 2018, I have seen this a few times, this is a great interview.
    it is time to retire his number in Calgary and put him into the Hall of Fame.

    He definitely played in the greatest era. High turnovers, high shots, high scoring, high amounts of fun.

    Theo is right on the money when he said he played in the best era. The 1980s and 1990s were unmatched in terms of talent. Now, like he said, you have 1 or 2 stars on a team and the rest are just there to plug holes. Interchangeable parts. It comes from having too many coaches (as Theo said) too many teams (watered down league) and the game itself is so lame. No more hitting, no 2 line pass rule which means nothing but bomb passes entering the offensive zone (zero creativity) and the passion and intensity is GONE. Coaches now all have a "system" and no player has a unique style anymore like back in the glory days. I'll forever be thankful my Rangers won in 1994 when the NHL was still at it's peak.

    He'll probably end up in the hall eventually. There are so many deserving players that came before him that it is just a waiting game. If anything holds him back, it probably is not his aboriginal heritage but his coke habit back in the day. He made mistakes so hopefully that doesn't prevent him from getting into the hall during his lifetime.

    • @lisapelletier-voels1375

      He's a Frenchman, he admitted his shortcomings, he owned his shit which is more than I can say about most! Even President Clinton couldn't own his BS Clinton never "inhaled and he never had sexual relations with that woman"
      Theo's a stand up guy, one Hella hockey legend and Deserving to have his place in the Hall of Fame ❤

  • @scottcooneymusic6736
    @scottcooneymusic6736 Před 9 lety

    He was a great player but if he thinks its easy to play nowadays, he's nuts. I think he just chose his words wrong. Its waaay harder to be a 100 plus point player in todays game than it was in his era. Not taking anything away from those guys he mentioned. Just a different game now.
