A Bit of Bouncing Back

Well, that was a much better game last night.  Roberto Luongo had a very good rebound game last night, stopping 31 on 32 Chicago shots in an effort that forced a shootout.  Unfortunately, Marty Turco let in 1 less shot than Luie in the skills competition, so the Blackhawks took the 2-1 win.  However, the big thing here is that, except for the shootout, Luongo was back on his A-game.  If he can keep that up, then all the Canucks need to work on is healing the defense, getting the offense going, and maybe work a little on that shootout thingy.
