Roberto Luongo may have hung up his skates for good in 2019, but no. 1 still managed to take the ice one last time before his number was retired…sort of.

Roberto Luongo had started 63 playoffs games coming into the 2016 Eastern Conference First Round, but this was his first taste of the postseason with the Cats. “It’s fun. It’s exciting,” the netminder said. “I wanna be at the top of my game [and] give my team a chance to win.”
