Let me see now, Roberto Luongo, the backup goaltender, just posted a 3-0 shut-out last night, has allowed only two goals against in the last two games, sports a 1.61 GAA, .938 save percentage, and looks like he’s entering the zone that I have witnessed many times since 2006.

This will be short and to the point as tweeted today with what’s happening around the NHL today. – I guess Oilers are quite not there yet. Down 6-1 in the first period against the Sharks. – So what if Cory Schneider is last in GAA 41st out 41. He has great company. Ward 40th, [...]
