Your impression seems to be most people's impression of the fandom perspective, and it's bizarre to me, because everyone in my circle of Pens friends adores Flower as a person AND recognizes that Murray is our long-term goalie. Like, obviously these rabid worshipers of the binary are out there because people keep describing them, but I almost never run into them.

Although tbf, when I have found them I've muted/unfollowed with great prejudice, because ain't nobody got time for that. If you can't see that Murray's the goalie of the future, then I question your basic understanding of the hockey business. And if you can't understand why people love Fleury a whole lot, will miss him, and want him to be happy, then I question your ability to empathize with other people and your grasp of, like, how feelings work. I can't really handle either of those qualities in someone I follow for hockey.

It may be a mix of platform and team makeup. I'm mostly on tumblr, and the Pens aren't my #1 team, so I don't follow that many Pens fans. It just seems like most of the ones I did follow suddenly developed crazy hot takes that made me back away slowly. So this may in part be a sample size issue, and/or a case of the loud but small fringe.

Yeah, that's just unfortunate. :( I keep to Twitter mostly, and just the Twitter people I like, so that probably saves me.

This has totally happened on tumblr. I see it every flippin' game in the MAF tag. I have successfully muted most of those people.

+1000 Couldn't agree more.

I've curated my twitter experience to people who both love MAF because he is a good person and also a good goalie (since Bales came), and recognize that Murray is the future of the franchise and also enjoy him. It's amazing how both are possible and indeed preferable for me.
