"Listen, I'm trying to do the best I can out there," Luongo said in a soft voice. "I'm working hard.And I have no doubt he will. There's no need to make a mountain out of this mole hill.
"I'm a human being like everyone else. It's hard to be on top of your A-game for 82 games.
"Obviously I gave up bad goals tonight, but you can always do better."
