Couple notes on Luongo: - His 2003-04 season is statistically one of the greatest of all time - The Canucks should retire his #1 immediately - He is a first ballot hall of famer - He had a below league avg SV% once from 2000 to 2018 - THE CANUCKS SHOULD RETIRE HIS #1 IMMEDIATELY

This has to be a set play, right? Merritt pulls the goalie, but sends the extra attacker out late. He's able to sneak off to the side undetected and the faceoff goes directly to him 🤣
