surprised this wasn't picked up already. i was reading it at lunch.
Kerry 'the Hair' Fraser responding to the 'running of Luongo' by Brown. i think it sums up what most all here already, but essentially puts to rest the VAN fans opinion concerning this play.
below is his analysis of the play:
"Now comes the big question mark in the game when Dustin Brown scored the go-ahead goal for the Kings early in the 3'rd and made significant contact with Roberto Luongo. FYI, I broke this one down frame-by-frame not to question the referee's decision but only to provide you with an accurate take on the play. As Brown followed his shot near the top of the crease he started to square up his posture and skates in preparation for a stop motion. At that instant Mike Santorelli slipped his right leg between the skates of Brown and contacted Brown's right shin just below the knee. Based on the force and location of the contact a leg whip caused Dustin Brown's body to rotate in a spin toward Luongo. The "roll" that Brown executed while airborne I could argue was in an attempt to minimize and avoid direct contact with his shoulder on the Vancouver goalie which could have been more significant. As a result of the leg contact applied by Mike Santorelli at the top of the goal crease Dustin Brown was propelled into the goal crease and Roberto Luongo."

It is just Canuck fans, which are the loudest and noisiest of all, and Brown haters. It is the perfect storm of whine, but anyone who has watched the video sees Brown was propelled into Luongo. He even tries to swipe his hands in the air to pull himself away from Luongo and as soon as he hits the ice he drags himself immediately away. Brown isn't stupid here, he wants the goal, he doesn't want it to be waived off, he is doing everything he can to not touch Luongo.
