Roberto Luongo shut out the Blackhawks tonight. He also shut down his literary critics with his poetic performance during the first intermission of the TSN broadcast. I lost it when I saw this - another great humour piece by the TSN crew!

Surprisingly funny.
Loved the hat, glasses, and pipe.
Fave poem? Byfuglien, or the Twins one.

I watched the game at a bar without sound, so only just actually heard the “poems.” But when I saw the pregame preview for this intermission feature I knew it would be hilarious based on the visuals of Lou as a poet. Finally just watched the full thing with sound, and it is everything I expected and more!

Sean/Mike: Uh, sorry for the overly wide video – first time posting a video as a FanShot, and don’t know how to correct it (just switched it to a smaller size, but it still runs over into the sidebar). If you know how to correct this have at ’er (and let me know, so I know how to avoid this in the future).

This is so bizzare
Luongo is a pretty funny guy actually. I honestly think his big weakness is that he’s a bit of a headcase, which is what undoes him. Reading that douche Iain Macintyre (Luongo looked so average in that 41 save shutout last night, but hey, what do I know? I’m just jealous that I make nothing because I’m a really crappy sports reporter and he’s a star athlete making way more money every game than I deserve for my crappy writing) /rant
Relaxing and not taking things so seriously would go a long way to allowing his talent to come back and carry the Canucks a long way…
All goalies are nutcases.
If there is one rule in regards to sports positions, its that all goalies are fucking weird.

yeah
but he’s even more so one than others. When he doesn’t have people jumping on him left right and centre or when he simply doesn’t care about that shit, he’s lights out fucking insane in net.
Been trying to say this to my friends for years. If you, at any level, road or floor, ice or roller, mighty mites or pro, have ever played much net, you get a feeling once when a shot hits “just” the right place…
“WTF am I doing this for?” Then you make a perfect save and go…“oh yeah thats it!”
This city gets so nutty about our goalies, has been that way forever. I guess its everywhere, but I have always thought the way people back seat goal tend in this city is totally crazy.
I just love watching him play when he gets in a zone. Hopefully this is the start of a 2-3 game S/O streak, or some such.
The telecast guys were trying to say he played a bit more out this game, and maybe he did.
Who knows what he is muttering about in French with Rollie…?
;-)

Dan, he did play OUT OF HIS GAME. That was not butterfly. That was Tim Thomas kind of shit and THAT is what he excels at.
Beautiful performance by Lou

The thing aboiut him…he never gives up. I was already counting the Kopecky goal shot in my head.
Amazing.
Not all…but he did play a bit more aggressive and a little farther out. Still seemed to have the right Rollie positioning down low.
That drill they showed of teammates trying to score from the goal line rush in…they should do that every practice. He looked way sharper on those.

Over at 2nd City they completely lambasted Kopecky on that blocked ‘goal.’ No credit to Luongo. Truth to tell, had he shot it a tad higher it would’ve been a goal. Actually that shot reminded me of many Canuck shots this year which fell thismuch short of being a goal.

Kopecky
Always seems to be the one crucified. He was in Detroit too. It really irked my wings fan sister that people hated him.

so hot right now

McLennan
I love that piece of McLennan running him over with the zamboni. First time I ever saw that, I couldn’t stop laughing for about fifteen minutes.
every goalie has their artistic side, don’t they? Miller has photography, Luongo has poetry….

Well, we could try cryogenically freezing Sami Salo while he's healthy, and bring him out in time for the playoffs, but he'd find a way to get a 3rd-degree burn in the freezing process....

Yeah, I sent that over to Wysh/Sean on Twitter earlier this AM. Sean jumped all over it and got that post up – guess they missed it earlier sleeping off their NYC meet-up hangover!

I dig em
I’m all for girls wearing attractive clothes and supporting their team. The only redeeming quality of the pink jerseys are some of the wearers. This is infinitely cooler, from a dude’s point of view.

puckdaddy is asking where his next meetup should be… am I the only one who thinks an aggressive ‘vancouver, of course’ lobby is required? When’s chicago here next? or NJ.

Wyshinski and Leahy were in Toronto in the summer, so I met them then. They are cool folks, and very down to earth in a nerdy hockey fan kind of way (so basically like everyone on Nucks Misconduct). With any luck they’ll make it out to Vancouver to drink with y’all!
