Major Controversy Between Matt Murray and the Pittsburgh Penguins



An interesting story-line going into the 2020 off-season involves the future of Matt Murray and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Many fans agree that Murray should be traded in favor of a tandem involving Tristan Jarry and Casey DeSmith
One of Murray's former goalie coaches went off on a rant regarding how Penguins fans treat Murray, and what they say to him.

His tweet, which has since been deleted, read:

"All he hears about everyday is how 'Fleury's Better.' We went out to dinner when I first moved back here... Some kid recognized him and asked for an autograph and a picture. Afterwards, the dad looks right at him and says 'You'll never be as good as Fleury and we'll never win anything with you.' I just sat there, and Matt says to me 'Yeah , that happens five or six times a day, this city hates me.' Over the last two years, I have realized how true that is. This town hates this guy, they hate him so bad that Tristan f***ing Jarry seems like a messiah to the people in this town."

Some are debating whether or not this is a true statement, or if it was an elaborate lie made by some angry fans.

The 25-year old has played in 199 NHL games, posting a 2.66 GAA and .914 save percentage. He helped the Penguins win Stanley cups in 2016 and 2017.
