Roberto Luongo Official Fan Blog

Well, it had to happen. After an awesome streak of shut outs, the end came on Sunday night. Not only did the most awesome Goaltender in the league let a puck pass, ending the shutout record but the Canucks played a much below expectations game, falling to defeat at the hands of the Minnesota Wild.

Roberto Luongo can only do so much.

As I mentioned earlier this year, the Canucks depend on Roberto waaaay too much. Never was this more evident than on Sunday night, when the rest of the Canucks pretty much phoned the game in, for all intents and purposes. Roberto on the other hand had a hell of a game, with 28 saves for the night.

Lest you think I am alone in my praise for Roberto, check this quote out.

“He played as good as I have seen him play,” Minnesota coach Jacques Lemaire said. “We had a lot of great chances, good shots from angles, or even in front in the high slot.”

Even the opposition praise him.
