Roberto Luongo had a solid regular season for the Florida Panthers this year.

He had a 2.35 GAA in 62 games played. The playoffs are a different beast though. Lunogo hasn’t had a playoff win since leading the Canucks to the Stanley Cup, back in 2011.

Since he is 0-4 with a .903 save percentage and a 3.08 GAA which is nothing to write home about. It’s necessary to have your goalie at the top of his game during the Stanley Cup Playoffs in order to advance. If the Panthers are to advance they need Luongo to step up his play in the playoffs.
