Roberto Luongo fooled by centre-ice shot
Florida Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo lets a bouncing puck shot from near centre ice get past him in a game against the Anaheim Ducks.
Panthers netminder allows unlikely goal
Florida Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo probably wants this one back.
In Tuesday night's game against the Anaheim Ducks, forward Tim Jackman lobbed a backhand shot from near centre ice that bounced past the veteran netminder.
The Panthers were up 5-1 in the second period before the unlikely goal squeaked through. Florida ultimately wasn't too concerned, as they went on to win by a score of 6-2.
Of course, the Montreal native took the slip in stride, and tweeted a brilliant solution to the problem.

—@strombone1It was just over a week ago when a similarly harmless-looking shot beat Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Jonathan Bernier in a 3-1 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes.
