Roberto Luongo is Simply Amazing - Shuts the Ducks out!
Nov 28th, 2007
A much anticipated game in light of the history these two teams have, all eyes were on Roberto as he save 26, with 15 saves in the action filled first period.
Obviously last season was on everyone’s mind, including Roberto’s. Here is what he told the AP about the game:
“Well definitely we had [last year’s playoffs] in the back of our heads,” said Luongo, who now has three shutouts this season.”They’re the team that eliminated us last year and it was important for us to try to get the win and we did a really good job on that especially once we got going in the second period.”
For Canucks. we are always happy to see any win, but a shutout is especially sweet. For Roberto’s fans, we love seeing the big man in top form like he was last night. Now we are sitting on pins and needles to see the outcome of this Thursday’s game against Columbus.
NOTE: I know I missed Sunday’s shutout over the Blackhawks. My laptop had severe issues and I was off-line for about 4 days. However, Santa came early with a new laptop, so all is back in order now and we resume our regular blogging efforts.
