Luongo critical of GWG he allowed vs. Oilers: 'I cost the team a win'

Roberto Luongo was taking responsibility for a loss to the Oilers on Saturday.

Despite entering a save-of-the-year candidate in the second period, the Florida Panthers goalie was highly critical of his play later in the game, saying the winner off the stick of defenseman Adam Larsson is one that should have been stopped.

"It's just a bad goal, I don't know what happened exactly," he said via Fox Sports Florida. "It went underneath my glove and between my pants. It's a bad goal, no excuse for it. That shouldn't go in ever."

Here's a look at the play in question:

Luongo reiterated the goal was his fault, adding, "Needless to say I don't feel too good about myself after tonight, and feel like I cost the team a win here."

As a result of the loss, the Panthers failed to make up ground in the wild-card race, and with only 13 games remaining, time is running out to make up the difference.

For the season, Luongo has posted a record of 14-8-2 with a .926 save percentage, and his performance since returning from an early-season injury is a major reason why Florida has any chance at all of grabbing a playoff spot.
