Alain Vigneault Names Roberto Luongo Game 5 Starter in Net for Canucks Against Bruins

Roberto Luongo struggled big time in Games 3 and 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. But apparently he will still be Canucks coach Alain Vigneault's guy in front of the net for Game 5 on Friday, according to ESPN.com.

Vigneault says Luongo will be in net despite giving up a whopping eight goals to the Bruins in Game 3, and then another four Wednesday before being pulled for young goaltender Cory Schneider. Schneider did not give up a goal in his brief time in front of the net, but Vigneault laughed off speculation that Luongo would not start on Friday.

"You can bet on that," Vigneault said when asked if Luongo would get the start on Friday.

"Roberto is the guy, he's my guy and he's playing," Vigneault said. "It's that simple."
