luongo Stories - The Copper & Blue
From Luongod to Bobby Loser: another season ends badly on the Wet Coast
I should like Roberto Luongo. I tend to sympathize with goalies, having been one myself - many years ago, and more soccer than hockey, but it forever changed how I experience the game. I learned to watch the game from the inside out, from the goal on out, in a similar manner as I learned to listen...
Luongo-Raycroft: Size and Stats Comparison
Perhaps the size (weight and height) difference between the 2 may not come as a surprise to most of you, but I didn't know that Luongo was that much heavier. It makes a big difference and it's quite visible when you watch both goalies in action. (Those weights probably vary depending on what site...
From Tom Benjamin’s NHL Blog: Louie, Louie
Because I have a strong dislike for this attitude, which I would boil down as "I want to win a cup so bad I don't care who I play for," and because it often seems like it's only (soon to be ex-) Kings players who offer up quotes like this, I've decided I'm going to start linking to any examples of...

Who's the best backstop in the biz?
About once a year -– usually the week of my "keeper league" hockey pool -- I pick up a copy of the Hockey News. This former staple in my life has almost entirely been replaced by the Internet.But my draft is tomorrow, so yesterday I leafed through a friend’s copy of THN. Besides a cover story on...

The goal against that almost sunk the Canucks
That Kopitar goal - over 40 feet out - garbage. "I was expecting pass the whole time," Luongo said. "When he threw it on net, I kinda got stuck on my post and it went right over my pad. It was unfortunate, but we battled back and I was able to shut the door after that." Can you imagine the...
