PHOTO: Canada G Luongo joins funny-hat crew; makes lockout joke
Canada goaltender Roberto Luongo joined Jonathan Toews in sporting a curling-rock hat on Saturday.
The hat, which reads "Team Jacobs" on the front, is a show of support for Canadian curler Brad Jacobs and his rink, but Luongo tied it to something that hits closer to home for hockey fans:

The "Jacobs" Luongo is (sarcastically) referring to is Jeremy Jacobs, the owner of the Boston Bruins, who became infamous for his hard-line stand on negotiations during the last lockout, which cost nearly half a season in 2012-13.
