Mixed feelings

From the Vancouver Canucks official website:

Roberto Luongo collected his 39th win of the year to surpass Kirk McLean as the goaltender with the most wins in a single season when the Canucks defeated the San Jose Sharks 2-1 in overtime on Friday night.

First, it was another important win for the Canucks. Though approaching the end of the regular season in such a close race, I guess they're all important. Second, great job by Roberto Luongo, as usual. I don't think many would argue that a large part of the Canucks' success this season hasn't been because of Luongo's presence in goal. Congratulations on breaking the record in his first season with the Canucks.

So why the mixed feelings? I think it will only be until Luongo helps the Canucks make a solid run to the Stanley Cup finals that he'll have a chance at replacing Kirk McLean as my favourite Canucks goaltender. But the way things are going, I sincerely hope Luongo will stay with the Canucks long enough to break all the goaltending records.
