Why do people boo Poti?

I was at the game last night and I find this to be so perplexing. He had on
offensively overachieving first season with the Rangers with bouts of
abysmal defense. A horrific follow up year with the worst defense played by
a human being ever. Followed by a very respectable year where he wasn't too
bad in his own zone at all. And was part of a good team defense that got the
team into the playoffs for the first time in 73 years(at least that's how I
recall it). Also, he's a real good guy. Completely non abrasive and always
say the right things.

OK, now how does that qualify him being booed every time he touches the puck
2 seasons later? I understood the booing when he was playing for the Rangers
and scoring 30+ own goals per season. But now? I think it's completely
pathetic to harbor this resentment for a guy like Poti. It's shows very
little self respect or character IMHO.

Unless they were saying Boo-erns. In which case you may disregard this post.

PS- Poti was really awesome last night.

Oh yeah? If he was so awesome he would have scored an own-goal.
