Last Line Of Defense First One To Blame The Life Of A Vancouver Goalie
After yesterdays 3 - 0 loss to the Blues this is a perfect time to talk  about the tunnel vision some Vancouver canuck fans have when pointing to  Roberto Luongo whenever canucks lose. These fans remind me of drunk  drivers with no excuse to be behind the wheel of a vehicle. The symptoms  Tunnel vision and nodding off at key points were attention is paramount  are all transferable to a Luongo hater during games. For some reason  when Luongo is scored on everyone forgets about the forwards who lost  control of the puck in the attacking zone to the oppositions teams  defense who help their goalie to not get scored on.At this point the  puck is moved out of the attacking zone and if the opposition manage  through open ice past our defense there forwards move into their  attacking zone and bring up their own defense to keep the puck in.This  is the hockey Tunnel vision Luongo hating fans miss.The hockey play  which has nothing, nadda, zero, zilch to do with our goalie. Now moving  onto the oppositions attacking zone as they set up it is up to our own  defense/forwards to force the puck away from the opposition and past  their defense and out of their attack zone if this cant be done right  away.they have now set up in their attacking zone and they are going to  make plays to score and until then our goalies only job so far has been  communication with his players.So until the opposition shoots the puck  at the net and if it gets past our defense it is then and only then that  our goalies main job is called upon to stop the puck from going in or  to stop the play, and if the puck does go in canuck fans hate on Luongo  bringing us back to the nodding off at key moments missing everything  that happened before the goal or in the drunk driver analogy the car  crashing So lets break this down even further for the drunk fan driving  the proverbial lets hate on and occupy Luongo no-mind mentality. With  all the other players that have lost or had the puck taken from them or  were beaten on 1 on 1 why would some fans blame a goalie the last line  of defense when a goal is scored? This brings us back to the Tunnel  vision of seeing a goal on their team and who lets in that goal the  goalie. and with the nodding off at key moments not seeing all the plays  missed or screwed up, the one on ones lost, this brings to end my drunk  driver to Luongo hater analogy. I think it is time Luongo haters  realize its still October look not only at your starting goalie stats  but the stats of other starting goalies.Now once you have done all this  if you still hate on Luongo and no one else i suggest you all stop  drinking during games cause it is inhibiting your ability to use common  sense when watching a game.Still need further proof of what i am saying  ok i take you all back to last night how many of you blamed Schneider  for last nights shutout loss? Why has Luongo been blamed for shutout  losses?Thats right because it was Luongo but yet Schneider is not blamed  for the same thing, case check point made, and remember only you can  stop stupid from speaking
