Re: Ask Meme
From: (Anonymous)If there's been a really concerted effort this year to NOT slight MAF in the marketing and it's worked somewhat in the opposite direction and unintentially turned some of the fan base against him because of the perception that he's getting preferential treatment.
As someone pretty neutral between MAF and Murray (from a personal/emotional standpoint, from a hockey standpoint Murray is the obvious choice), I always thought it was obvious that the subtext of a lot of the team's PR push for Fleury (especially twitter stuff like tweeting "you can support both goalies" whenever MAF is playing) is simply in reaction to the massive quantity of stuff they see on social media from people saying terrible things about Fleury. Most of us have a pretty circumscribed set of fans we're exposed to, even including fans who we might dislike or disagree with. But team social media people have a total different perspective of what online fandom looks like when they tweet that Fleury's let in a soft goal and get immediately bombarded with a flood of nonsensically nasty messages.
Re: Ask Meme
From: (Anonymous)That's a really good point. It's easy to forget in RPF fandom, which has been fairly pro-Fleury all along, but a lot of people consider him a laughingstock (unjustly, IMO, considering his performance the last few years - he may not be elite, but he's perfectly serviceable).
Re: Ask Meme
From: (Anonymous)That's a great point. Their perspective is totally different from ours.
