Luongo Takes Stand For Fellow Goaltender Against the NHL and Gary Bettman
Fellow goaltender Roberto Luongo showed his support last night for Fleury when he took to social media to share his thoughts on their decision to block Fleury from wearing the mask. In his post, he questions what the NHL is even doing trying to do this stuff.
I mean come on what are we even doing here??????
