It's hard when you don't play very much because you want to contribute. Any ice time I get behind Luongo is gravy.

I read things where he hasn't been sharp. He always seems to be in control against us. He doesn't seem to get himself in too much trouble. I don't know what else to say for a goalie except they stop the puck. What makes Dominik Hasek so good He stops the puck, that's it. The same thing with Luongo, the same with our guy.
They played us very tough. And Luongo is a good goalie. He gives them a chance every night.
Give Luongo credit. He seems to have those games against us quite a bit.
We had some scoring chances, but it's tough to get it past Luongo. He looks very calm in the net and you look at their coaches, they look very calm over there.
I think overall the past couple games we've tried to play good defense. With Luongo in the net, he gives you a chance to win every night. It's nice to end the trip with a win.
This is one of those games where you chalk it up to your goalie. If it wasn't for Luongo in the first period, we're not in the hockey game.
We'll take the two points. But we kind of let (Luongo) down a little with sloppy play. We gave them opportunities late that we didn't have to. We have to be better Friday night for sure.
We had a lot of chances and a couple empty nets. Luongo made a few big saves on shots that are normally goals.
Luongo was unbelievable. When you get 55, 56 shots, you hope to win hockey games and it's frustrating. It's a game that I think we should have won. Cap off to him, he played well.
It's tough to get it past Luongo. You could see their coaches were calm the whole night. They didn't get too excited at any kind of scoring chance we had.
We played a smart and patient game and didn't beat ourselves. Luongo made some big saves at key times in the game.
I just know we're ecstatic about the opportunity to come down with probably a younger group of guys than we had in Toronto and a great goaltender in Luongo. We feel we can make an impact and make the Florida Panthers a better hockey team.
Coming in here we didn't think we were going to get five goals on Luongo. I didn't expect a 5-4 game. I was thinking 3-2 or 2-1.
After they got ahead 3-1, Luongo made some big saves.
