Huh. As a Pens fan who loves both goalies, I've never noticed that Pens twitter treats either of them better or worse. I follow every game, and the twitter team seems to recognize good games/performances whoever's in net. That said, MAF and Murray are very different goalies with very different personalities. MAF is a fan favorite, and they've def. been hyping that since Murray has been injured.

But that feels like good PR to me rather than some deliberate slight. Fleury is loved by the fans. He's playing well. It's his last season on the team, and he didn't play last post-season. It's a feel-good story, and he's an easy player to be excited about because he's so obviously into it and having a ball.

Murray is a different player. He isn't as fun. He doesn't feed off the crowd in the same way. Doesn't interact with the beat reporters or the Pens media the same way. He doesn't have the same relationship with them. I don't know if that = bias, or if it just results in different coverage, because Pens twitter isn't just reporting what's going on in a game, but interacting with fans.

I dunno, I feel like it's kind of similar to the Kris Letang thing and him being "underrated." He doesn't get as much coverage or interviews. He's not as
personable. He is in fact a little prickly, and I think it makes a difference in how he comes across via the media.
