After making 15 saves and posting a shutout, against lowly Norway on February 15, Roberto Luongo then watched as Martin Brodeur allowed seven goals on 46 shots (.848 save percentage) over two games.

For Tuesday’s game against Germany, Luongo will get his third career Olympic start in an arena that he is very familiar with which should change Olympic hockey odds.

The Montreal, QC native is in his fourth season with the Vancouver Canucks, who conveniently play out of GM Place; which has so cleverly been renamed Canada Place for the duration of the Olympics.

On home ice Luongo has boasted a 87-36-14 record (including 21-7-1 this season) and 16 shutouts over his time with the Canucks and has a good chance of improving to 2-0 in Olympics if Canada pulls out the victory over Germany.

Whatever the outcome, you can expect a giant cheer of “Loooouuuu” when he hits the ice tonight.

While Luongo was receiving word that he would start, Joni Pitkanen was learning that he is being suspended for the quarterfinal round.

The Finland defender had been put under review after receiving a game misconduct for an elbow to the head of Sweden’s Patric Hornqvist on Sunday.

After the incident, both Hornqvist and Pitkanen did not return and there is no word yet whether the Swedish forward will suit up for the next game.

The Finn’s will have a day to figure out their line-up as they earned a bye to the quarterfinals by finishing with the fourth best record in the round robin.

One other report out of Vancouver; Toronto Maple Leaf Mikhail Grabovski was arrested after an altercation outside of a club on Pacific Boulevard.

The 26 year-old forward was held off of the Belarusian team with a wrist injury but joined his countrymen to provide support throughout the games. An investigation is pending.
