Even if the Jokers are not in post-season, their GM had find a way to bring them back on media radar. All started before game 7 between Kansas-City and Maple. Many fans were on twitter talking about the game and it became obvious that K-C fans were not confident at all because Maple was starting Maurice Gould. Las vegas GM, Francois Neveu, put oïl on fire when he tweeted that Gould will choke like he always did in game 7. After that, the twitosphere became on fire, everyone had something to say on Gould's past performances. Even Gould agent, Scott Boras, fire back at GM Neveu saying that if Gould had receive a better defense, the Jokers could have won 2 or 3 pennants. In fact, during the next two hours #gouldwillchoke became the hottest subject on twitter.
Finally, the Marauders loose, Gould conceided 7 points and all Gould's haters had fun that night. The next day, when media asked him his taught about all this, he simply said that he could not understand why a GM on vacancy attack him. "I did my best when i was in Vegas and probably been the best player the franchise had in their history".
GM Neveu tried to calm down everything, saying that he was just relating the fact that Gould loose the most important game ever in Vegas when they were knocked out in 7 by Notthinghamshire. After that, he quickly change the subject and start talking about the season recap of the Jokers.
Maple organisation didn't make any comment to date on that "incident". Many Maple fans were shocked that a Canadian GM takes side of one of his american rivals instead of rooting for Maple. One thing is sure, if GM Neveu plan to go near Toronto, he won't be welcome there. He quicky become the punching ball for the frustration of many Marauders fans who believed that Maple would go to the final after Eureka fall.
