NHL ENTRY DRAFT

June 21, 1997

Roberto Luongo

Feels great. It is something great just to accomplish. They have confidence in me.

Not really because what I do mostly is I don't put pressure on myself and when I play hockey I have fun, so this is not any pressure whatsoever.

That is not the situation, but like I said before, throughout the years I have always had to make my place in a team. That is what I am going to have to continue on doing and I think I am pretty good at that.

Well, I think I am pretty much a big guy, so I could rely on the net so the shooters don't have a lot to shoot at. I think I have great style and great technique. So that is to my advantage.

Well, I think there is a couple of things like mostly my work around the net still, I have to improve that and also sometimes I am just too deep in my net, maybe come out and challenge them more.

Well, I know they won a couple of Cups in a row. They had a great tradition and they have a young team and they will be pretty strong in a couple of years.

Not really. Surprised or not surprised, there was rumors that I would go fourth, but I wasn't sure. I guess when my name was called I was pleasantly surprised.
