It wasn’t too long ago that there was some doubt whether or not Roberto Luongo was going to be ready for the start of the regular season, after undergoing offseason hip surgery.
The Florida Panthers had contingency plans in place should their netminder have to miss time, signing James Reimer in free agency and trading for backup goalie Reto Berra from the Colorado Avalanche.
But just two games in the season, Luongo has not only made his way back onto the ice but is back to his regular ways, enjoying a very successful opening weekend.
