Lee took way too much crap this year. When I went to Bemidji, there was a guy sitting in front of me who wouldn't stop ripping Lee. It didn't matter if he made a nice play, he still sucked. It was all luck. Brian Lee was the worst hockey player in the history of the world.
Then there is how Lee is treated compared to other players. Only Finley got a fraction of the criticism that Lee took. I remember a game this year where Genoway was absolutely terrible. Worse than anything Lee has been in his two years here, no one said anything though because Genoway isn't Brian Lee. If it had been Lee out there playing like crap, people would have been forming a lynch mob by the first intermission and storming the bench/locker room by the second intermission. But since it was Genoway, it was oh well.
It's freaking ridiculous the way people talk about and put him down. There is criticism of a player and then there is irrational hatred of a player. There seem to be a good number of Sioux fans who actually hate Brian Lee. He's a hockey player for people's favorite team and when he plays poorly some people act like he murdered their entire family with an axe.
