Everyone (probably guided by the desire to win) was saying it would be great for Fleury's confidence to go to the WJC.
I answered that I thought he had everything to lose.
The guy was spectacular in Pittsburgh without any pressure to win.
There the whole canadian media will jump on the guy, and if there's a time where his confidence might be shaken, it's right now.
He had nothing to win in going to the WJC career wise, and everything to lose.
I simply hope his poise at the NHL level won't suffer from this tourney.
I don't like at all CP's action on this.
