Luongo emerges from self-imposed Twitter break

Florida Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo hadn't tweeted since March 6, after taking heat for a few well-intentioned comments following the trade deadline.

The Vancouver Canucks were losing to the Dallas Stars that night last month (the final score ended up being 6-1) and Luongo sent these out, completely with his usual light-hearted attitude:

If I was still the back up I coulda came in and mopped this game up nicely.....

After backstopping the Florida Panthers to a 3-2 win over that same Dallas team Sunday afternoon, which keeps the Canucks' very slim playoff hopes alive, Luongo let the hockey world know he hasn't lost his touch..

You're welcome @VanCanucks ! Glad I could help! #stillonpayroll #15%
