Was anyone else as happy as I was when they read the article this morning that Theo Fleury had the game winning shootout goal last night? Sure, it was against the Islanders, and a preseason game, but it was his first game back after six years. Thanks to the lack of television broadcasting of preseason NHL games, I have absolutely no idea how well he played the rest of the game, but his name got the headlines. For those who grew up playing the first generation of NHL videogames on Sega and Playstation One, seeing Fleury back on the Flames is a trip back in time. Now Calgary just needs Gary Roberts back. Obviously I am joking, and that would not be a good idea, but what hockey fan from late 80's to early 90's would not love to see those two back together? I hope Theo makes the team this season, and at least is a useful role player for a season or two. And as for the this season, I will hope for the twentieth time that the Penguins and Flames meet in the Finals. Good luck to both teams, and to Theo.
