“I did a lot of growing up in Van. Unfortunately, when I figured it out it was a little too late for me there,. I just look at things differently now. I keep it in mind that I’m playing the game that I love, and I’m going to enjoy these moments. I don’t think about the stuff surrounding me that sometimes can become distractions.”

-Roberto Luongo of the Florida Panthers. More on Luongo from Mark Spector of Sportsnet.
