I gotta wonder what the public perception would be a lot of guys who played in the 70s, 80s, and 90s if they had social media around then. How many outrageous gaffes would a guys like Phil Esposito, Denis Potvin, or Bernie Nichols make? Personally, I don't give a crap what athletes tweet or post on Facebook. Especially years after they've retired.
And let's be honest - only a tiny, tiny fraction of fans know anything about what Fleury has said or posted online. Just the obsessives and the easily riled. As a fan, I don't care if Fleury hurt Conroy's feelings, or put some noses out of joint in ownership, or toots his own horn on Facebook. I paid to watch him play hockey on the ice. And what he accomplished on the ice was remarkable.
