Before exit, Luongo left lot to be desired

"It took the Bruins 8 minutes and 35 seconds to take down Canucks Roberto Luongo last night in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. That's all the time they needed to score three goals and banish Luongo to the bench for the fourth time in the 2011 playoffs, sending the Bruins on their way to a 5-2 victory and a trip to Vancouver for a decisive Game 7 tomorrow night.

Entering the game, Luongo actually had a shutout streak going against the Bruins after a 1-0 win in Game 5 in Vancouver, but that streak ended at 65:31 when Brad Marchand collected a chip off the right wall from Mark Recchi and beat Luongo on the short side with a wrist shot at 5:31 of the first.

It was not a good goal, and instead of polishing off the first Stanley Cup in the team's 40-year history, the Canucks were backpedaling. They continued to lose ground. Luongo couldn't handle much, giving up three goals on eight shots: Marchand's, Milan Lucic's wrist shot between his pads, and a power-play slap shot from Andrew Ference."
