One of the greatest players in Florida Panthers history helped fire up the crowd before Game 7 on Monday.
Hall of Fame goaltender Roberto Luongo beat a drum and led the crowd in a “Let’s go Panthers!” chant before the puck dropped on the winner-take-all game.
Luongo played 11 of his 19 seasons with the Panthers and is now a member of the team’s front office.
He also has experience in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, when his Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins in 2011.
Needless to say, he’s hoping for a different outcome Monday.
