How is Theo Fleury not on this 'roster'?

But Lindros and Shanahan are...

Wow.

Fleury:
'99-'00: 15 G, 64 pts.
'00-'01: 30 G, 74 pts.
'01-'02: 24 G, 63 pts.
TOTAL: 69 G, 191 pts.

Lindros:
'01-'02: 37 G, 73 pts.
'02-'03: 19 G, 53 pts.
'03-'04: 10 G, 32 pts.
TOTAL: 66 G, 158 pts.

Shanahan:
'06-'07: 29 G, 62 pts.
'07-'08: 23 G, 46 pts.
TOTAL: 52 G, 108 pts.


Not only should Fleury be on the roster, he should be on the top line.

Straka:
'05-'06: 22 G, 76 pts.
'06-'07: 29 G, 70 pts.
'07-'08: 14 G, 41 pts.
TOTAL: 65 G, 187 pts.

ive been voting Fleury sicne line 1 ...no one seems to agree. See what happens when you smoke crack kids ...you get left off All-Decade rosters.

[nyr2k2]

I've been voting Fleury as well.

It's also kinda lame that Gomez only has two votes...

[Thordic]

I agree on Fleury wholeheartedly. He still gets a lot of misplaced hate for some reason, like our failure as a team was somehow entirely his fault.

I refuse to reward Messier's service this decade with a vote. He was mostly terrible and hindered the team more than he helped.

I voted for Betts.
