Roberto Luongo

LET’S NOT COMPLICATE THIS…
IF THE CANUCKS ARE GOING TO WIN TONIGHT AND HAVE ANY SHOT AT MAKING THE PLAYOFFS…ROBERTO LUONGO HAS TO START PLAYING LIKE…ROBERTO LUONGO…
IN THE LAST 6 GAMES LUONGO HAS GIVEN UP 25 GOALS…
THAT’S A “GOALS AGAINST AVERAGE” OF OVER 4 A GAME…
THE RESULT HAS BEEN A RECORD OF 1 AND 5…
YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE CANUCKS WOKE UP THIS MORNING IN 9TH PLACE IN THE WEST…
THAT’S ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW…
IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT LUONGO IS SIMPLY BURNT OUT…
71 GAMES COMBINDED WITH THE BIRTH OF YOUR FIRST CHILD CAN DO THAT TO A PERSON…
BUT KEEP IN MIND…
THERE ARE 4 OTHER GOALTENDERS IN THE NHL THAT HAVE ALREADY PLAYED 75 GAMES…
LAST SEASON…INCLUDING THE PLAYOFFS…LUONGO PLAYED A TOTAL OF 88 GAMES…
DESPITE THE WORK LOAD IN THE POST SEASON HIS GOALS AGAINST AVERAGE WAS A MERE 1.77…
HE WAS ALSO A FINALIST FOR THE VEZINA…THE HART AND THE PEARSON…
AT THIS TIME OF THE SEASON…FATIGUE IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE EXCUSE…
THE CANUCKS CERAINLY RECOGINIZE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE BROUGHT IN GOALIE COACH IAN CLARK…
YESTERDAY THE TWO SPENT MOST OF THE PRACTICE WORKING ON BASIC TECHNIC…
SOMETHING THAT WAS HORRIBLY MISSING ON TUESDAY NIGHT AGAINST COLORADO…
ALL THIS MAY SOUND UNFAIR TO PLACE ALL THE WEIGHT ON THE SHOULDERS OF ONE PLAYER…
AND IF YOU BELIEVE THAT…ODDS ARE…YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW IS “THE VIEW”…
A GOALTENDER IN HOCKEY IS NO DIFFERENT THAN A QUARTERBACK IN FOOTBALL OR A PITCHER IN BASEBALL…
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF WINNING GOES WITH THE JOB…
IT’S WHY LUONGO IS THE HIGHEST PAID PLAYER ON THE CANUCKS MAKING $6 AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS A SEASON…
TONIGHT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO START EARNING IT…
HEAD COACH ALAIN VIGNEAULT PUT IS BEST…
“ROBERTO NEEDS TO BRING HIS “A” GAME IF WE STAND ANY CHANCE OF WINNING”…
“HE NEEDS TO BE OUR BEST PLAYER”
AMEN!!!
