who'd posted a "Goalkeeper Needed" cry for help on Facebook. They were facing off against the 5-time defending league champs, but with the upgrade between the pipes Luongo's team knocked them off, 4-2.
Pretty cool story, I doubt they were expecting to get an "I can be there" from an NHL HoFer.
Roberto Luongo may be retired from the NHL, but he never said anything about beer league hockey. The Hall of Fame goaltender volunteered as a substitute for one men's league team and led them to a big playoff win.
One men's league team needed a goaltender on short notice, so they posted a "goalie needed" ad on Facebook. That can be somewhat of a crapshoot. Sometimes, you get a netminder who just popped the tags off his equipment last week. Other times, you get an Olympic gold medalist with 489 career wins in the NHL.
