Luongo recalls outdoor-game benching as rain threatens Winter Classic
Hockey's Twitter master has done it again.
With rainy weather threatening to put a damper - or even postpone - the 2017 Winter Classic between the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues, the Florida Panthers goalie indirectly reminisced over the time he was benched for an outdoor game as a member of the Vancouver Canucks.
Man it would suck if these guys waited their whole lives to play in an outdoor game and then couldn't to due to unforeseen circumstances 👀

Eddie Lack, of course, was given the start at the 2014 Heritage Classic in Vancouver, while Luongo was dealt to Florida three days after watching from the bench.
Lack offered the following response, even though it was John Tortorella who was calling the shots in Vancouver at the time.
@strombone1 sorry😢❤
