Earlier today, Jason Botchford at The Ice Hole reported that Roberto Luongo has been nursing a rib injury, forcing him to sit out Monday night in Los Angeles. Now the CP is reporting that the Canucks have also called up goaltender Drew MacIntrye from the AHL’s Manitoba Moose.
Luongo told reporters later he has been nursing a bruised rib all week after being injured Dec. 2 at Minnesota.
“It just got worse over the last two days, and I’ve been in pain all day,” he said. “I was trying to see how I felt in warmups, but it wasn’t good enough for me to go. It’s not broken, but it hurts when I breathe and it hurts when I move. It’s tough to do your job under those circumstances. It’s day-to-day right now. Hopefully it’s just a few days. It’s almost got to heal on its own.”
Additionally, Mason Raymond and Jason Jaffray were also called up from the Moose.

I know.
“...it hurts when I breathe” might be the scariest words Luongo has ever uttered out loud within earshot of a Canucks fan. :(

Listening to the Team 1040 yesterday after the game, they played the sound bites from the locker room interview in which this quote was taken...and during the entire chat, you could hear him physically struggling to breathe.
For anyone who has had any sort of rib injury, you know what I mean and you know how he feels.

“It’s tough to do your job under those circumstances.”
No kidding.
Heal quickly, Roberto.
