Roberto Luongo’s Knee is Fine
Oct 8th, 2007
He was down for a long time - long enough for the Canucks to send out Curtis Sanford to mind the net, but he eventually got up and was moving around. As of right now everything seems fine. Roberto finished the game, leading the Canucks to a 4 to 3 victory over Calgary.
It was scary though. He is long overdue, with averaging 74 games in the last 3 seasons without missing a start due to injuries. Canucks fans were not the only ones holding their breath: “It’s pretty scary when he goes down, that time especially because it looked like his leg got caught under him. Thank God nothing serious happened to his knee”, defenceman Kevin Bieksa said.
We think so too, Kevin. We think so too. Roberto claims it is luck and nothing else. When asked to explain how he has went so long uninjured, he laughed, said it was luck and then knocked on the wooden bench he was sitting on. I think I am going to go knock on some wood myself…
