Been a Ranger fan my entire life , Theo is definitely top 5 favorite players eitherway, but those 3 years with the Rangers, He solidified his legend . Completely off his rocker, unhinged even , and still scoring like the sniper he is,. Hell one year, 00/01 he had 30 goals and 216 pim! Thank You for the memories Theo! Should be in the HOF by now....
Agree 100% he may have had off ice issues back in his playing days and for what we now know a very sad reason. I look at what he has done after his playing days. He has done so much to help people. As for him as a player he was amazing and yet he was fighting so many inner demons. He still played at such a level with all of his emotional pain. I have always been a Detroit fan but was always intrigued by Theo because how good he was for his size.
Hard hard hard life I can't even imagine. Just wish he was able to get through it in a different way. He was hard to have around. I can't even imagine what Theo had to deal with and the impact on his life and how anyone could deal with that trauma. Poor guy
Met him at Walter Gretzky ball hockey tournament. I had a mini Canada Jersry and his team Canada card to sign for my son who was just born. I told him he was awesome and an honour to meet him. He was like really? He seemed out of it or didn't think people cared about him iduno. Walter then told me to talk with some Fox guy that played in LA not sure said he was a great player in the 80s 90s.
Wayne is a great hockey player but a better smokes man for the game. He represents educational experience and and experience from his experience and knowledge worldwide. And they didn't let him shoot in 98 God Bless us all
Sheldon was probably the most abused between the two but he wasn’t as skilled as Theo so his story was relegated to the footnote. I hope Theo paid tribute to his buddy as well.
I mean he would have been right to criticize the passports and mandates, but the connection he made was pure paranoid delusion. I hope he's leveled out since, everybody went a little crazy in 2021.
Sheldon Kennedy is one of the most courageous people I've ever heard of.tje shame he experienced to speak out to defend the new young victims destroys a person
Fleury calls himself a chicken because he wouldn’t commit suicide. I’ve attempted suicide before and it’s the scariest thing in the world. You can plan, be committed and have all the tools you need but that final step (even when you’re drunk) is SO scary.
that's.. it's funny I always have this lingering feeling that "fear is for pussies".. but your statement got me thinking... it's a weird feeling to be wrong...
Fleury saying the flames traded him to create seperation from him as a ticking timebomb is pure bullshit. He wanted the big money and thats all it was. He never takes responsibility for his bad behaviour as an adult or putting other children in danger with the Hitmen. He doesn't take responsibility for how he treated his family. Obviously what happened to him as a child was terrible, but it never should be used as a crutch to be a shitty human when youre older.
I recall his meltdown on tv as a ranger and being in recovery myself I thought yep he's been hitting the pipe doin it dirty. He was a mad man and thats what happens in addiction.Poison in poison out. Poor guy didn't deserve the abuse from that effing James DB either that just put fuel on the fire :((
wow. this video makes me sick, and the interviewer is clueless about abuse and addiction. The big me wanted to go get the little me was an amazing statement. What a winner. Finally came full circle.
Its a damn crime that this man isn't in the HOF. Ya, he had his demons..who the hell doesn't? Look at what Theo has been through and overcame. That alone needs to be celebrated..but when you look at his career while he was going through all of this shit. Hes a legend, but when you have a bunch of soft snowflakes and tree huggers calling the shots, people that wouldnt understand mental health and addiction or anything else, then they'll probably never put him in the HOF, what a tragedy.
It's surprising Theo wasn't subpoenad in any way in that creep's case. Speaking of creeps, who sold a likely heavily intoxicated guy a pistol with one bullet?
I’m surprised he hasn’t already got in the Hockey Hall of Fame. I don’t mind the smaller guys prevailing like Marchessault or Briere. Btw Briere should be as well which is upsetting he will never.
Maybe for a time. But once I found it in my heart to forgive my uncle who began sexually abusing me when I was 5 years-old - even though he never has apologized, and probably would deny ever even doing it if I confronted him - I finally was able to put it behind me and move on with my life. I’m not saying it still doesn’t hurt when I have the frequent flashbacks and night terrors, but letting go of the hatred for him and desire to hurt him as he had hurt me, was like a two ton weight being lifted off of my chest.
I made him think I left .... vary bad dont fo this everyone it is not funny and how yo show your kid to get in the car .... I deff feel bad !! And if your son is a hockey goalie mabe dont stand right behind him because it can put more preser to play mabe better just go sit as high as you can and let him do his job ... he will see you after 100% win lose it is OK... if loseing starts to set in back to the goalie tranner and mental stranth coach ... I had one for my boy !! Broth in AAA hockey ... I put everything I had in to it ... but still had a problem with alcohol so I could have been way better ... 😢
@@bradleye1964 The depth of your ignorance is astounding. It is scary how people remain wilfully ignorant and latch onto conspiracy theories while being able to vote. Recognizing irony is not your forte.
Love you Theo and Sheldon.
The lack of understanding of addiction by this journalist is astounding.

One of the best players I ever saw play hockey ,small guy but man what a great ,gritty ,talented player ,
Should be in the HHOF.....without question!

Not without a question but he was really good for a midget
@@joeleaton607I don’t think the NHL will want to draw attention to the far right tin foil hat wearing whackjob he’s become.
Hard hard hard life I can't even imagine.
Just wish he was able to get through it in a different way. He was hard to have around.
I can't even imagine what Theo had to deal with and the impact on his life and how anyone could deal with that trauma. Poor guy
Hall of Fame? Lol
I love Theo. Im so happy he figured things out and got help. He is an inspiration to me and hopefully many others who are struggling with addiction.
Fleury was an amazing player! 455 goals is NHL elite!
God bless you, Theo ! You are a warrior, and you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers 🙏
Good to see this bloke come out the other side
You will always be remembered as one of the leagues greats sir....Better yet..youve found peace
True legend for Flames All the best Theo Flames fan from Poland
Met him at Walter Gretzky ball hockey tournament.
I had a mini Canada Jersry and his team Canada card to sign for my son who was just born.
I told him he was awesome and an honour to meet him. He was like really? He seemed out of it or didn't think people cared about him iduno.
Walter then told me to talk with some Fox guy that played in LA not sure said he was a great player in the 80s 90s.
Nice video. One of my favourite player to have played the game. He embodies what resilience is in the face of adversity, in game and in life.
Wayne is a great hockey player but a better smokes man for the game. He represents educational experience and and experience from his experience and knowledge worldwide. And they didn't let him shoot in 98 God Bless us all
Props to Gretzky for believing in him like that. I’ll always love Theo, and Calgary will always be my team in NHL ‘94!
Fleury,bure and federov are so electric
Sooo sorry that these 2 had to endure the abuse.
Sheldon was probably the most abused between the two but he wasn’t as skilled as Theo so his story was relegated to the footnote. I hope Theo paid tribute to his buddy as well.
If he had stayed sane during covid he'd be a lock for the hall. Everybody loves a comeback story.
I mean he would have been right to criticize the passports and mandates, but the connection he made was pure paranoid delusion. I hope he's leveled out since, everybody went a little crazy in 2021.
Points per game in 1000 games. It's amazing he did that while probably hungover most of the time
You're only as sick as your secrets. Something that is applicable to everybody.
Sheldon Kennedy is one of the most courageous people I've ever heard of.tje shame he experienced to speak out to defend the new young victims destroys a person
1',!'
One of the greatest stories ever told.
Much respect to Theo Fleury. A very brave man. Great player. His journey is incredible.
Fleury calls himself a chicken because he wouldn’t commit suicide. I’ve attempted suicide before and it’s the scariest thing in the world. You can plan, be committed and have all the tools you need but that final step (even when you’re drunk) is SO scary.
that's.. it's funny I always have this lingering feeling that "fear is for pussies".. but your statement got me thinking... it's a weird feeling to be wrong...
" Hey, It's Wayne "
Theo: Wayne who?
"Wayne Gretzky"
Retire his number and hang his jersey from the rafters , and put him in the hall of fame already ... much respect Theo you did it !
Fleury saying the flames traded him to create seperation from him as a ticking timebomb is pure bullshit. He wanted the big money and thats all it was.
He never takes responsibility for his bad behaviour as an adult or putting other children in danger with the Hitmen. He doesn't take responsibility for how he treated his family. Obviously what happened to him as a child was terrible, but it never should be used as a crutch to be a shitty human when youre older.
You have not walked in his shoes , so it would be better not to judge .
It’s tragic, what happened to Theoren and Sheldon Kennedy !!!
People that have breezed through life are the ones thatll be in for a shock when crunch time comes.
Everybody has there own demons! Some worse then others! This man deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame!
WARRIOR ❤
What a sin these players had to withstand this punishment from an evil predator.
Democrats
100%
Bravo Theron Bravo!!!
Hall of famer absolutely a person who had his demons but worked his ass off to fight them off anf eventually beat them
Still the most famous NHL player to play in the UK with my team Belfast Giants.
Incredible..Incredible guy
Theo and Sheldon are personal heroes.
His book is awesome
I recall his meltdown on tv as a ranger and being in recovery myself I thought yep he's been hitting the pipe doin it dirty. He was a mad man and thats what happens in addiction.Poison in poison out. Poor guy didn't deserve the abuse from that effing James DB either that just put fuel on the fire :((
“Deep and raw” may not have been the right words to use in this particular documentary….
wow. this video makes me sick, and the interviewer is clueless about abuse and addiction. The big me wanted to go get the little me was an amazing statement. What a winner. Finally came full circle.

Hundreds of times. uh huh
I do not even feel the hall of fame to be worth a salt until they induct Fleury . Lindros is a joke .
We still love Fleury in Calgary.,,and w/o question Fleury should be in the HHOF
Top 20 greatest pure talent the game has ever seen
Maybe not
Who cares
HE IS BETTER THAN AT A MINIMUM 10 GUYS THAT ARE INNNNNNNNN !!!!!!
He's in the short person hall of fame in my garage
It's surprising Theo wasn't subpoenad in any way in that creep's case. Speaking of creeps, who sold a likely heavily intoxicated guy a pistol with one bullet?
This is literally too sickening to believe, let alone listen to. I'm done.
I’m surprised he hasn’t already got in the Hockey Hall of Fame. I don’t mind the smaller guys prevailing like Marchessault or Briere. Btw Briere should be as well which is upsetting he will never.
So sad
Which Theo Fluery Club Sweater would you get?

New York Rangers
Chicago Blackhawks
Belfast Giants
I won't to try this ... one day if I could idk ....
Yup and it is not good ego I had one kinda ...... stay humbel and kind !!! It is good to be confadint tho in your game hopefully...
After a while, you want to hunt down and kill your abuser.
Maybe for a time. But once I found it in my heart to forgive my uncle who began sexually abusing me when I was 5 years-old - even though he never has apologized, and probably would deny ever even doing it if I confronted him - I finally was able to put it behind me and move on with my life.

Poor guy has gone full QAnon headcase., he even believes the government is trying to poison people with airplane contrails
You do realize that this has been admitted and many people are coming out exposing this truth.
@@bradleye1964 People like you scare me
