Is Roberto Luongo Too Good for the Canucks?
Oct 23rd, 2007
For crying out loud… it was the Hurricanes! They had three key forwards out of the game due to injuries; we have beaten them the last five times we played them; and most of all, Roberto Luongo was back in front of the net after a night off. And yet, for all that… we lost.
Now, in Roberto’s defense, he was magnificent yet again, making 28 saves and stopping 16 in just the first period alone. As I have said before, it is like he is all alone out there. All I see anyone else doing is getting penalties. The rest of the team just does not play up to the standard of play Luongo is setting. If he had not been tending the goal last night, who knows how bad the final score would have been.
There is no secret to last nights loss; we just met someone who played better hockey than we did. It was just amazing that it was Carolina…
