ROBERTO LUONGO

April 11, 2007 vancouver 5, dallas 4 (4OT)

IN HIS FIRST CAREER playoff appearance, Luongo turned aside 72 shots in quadruple overtime as the Canucks outlasted the Stars in the sixth-longest game in NHL history.

Luongo faced the most shots (76) since 1956 when the NHL started tracking the statistic. Kelly Hrudey and Ed Belfour shared the previous mark of 75. Luongo’s 72 saves matched Belfour’s total and was one shy of Hrudey’s record-setting 73-save effort for the Isles against the Caps in the 1987 playoffs. “It was probably the most exhausting thing I’ve ever been part of,” Luongo said.
