Seattle, WA (AP) - Luongo's impenetrable wall is finally shattered, but the Tsunami
rally together for the win. Up until this game, the only goals allowed by
Seattle's Roberto Luongo have been unstoppable split goals. With only a minute
eight-teen seconds remaining in the third period, Milan Hejduk solved the stonewall
puzzle. A costly turnover by Brian Leetch allowed the Wolves to get within one
goal. Hejduk found himself the recipient of the odd-man rush when he sent the puck
over Luongo's shoulder at 18:42 in the third period [BKWY5:GR8].

"It was bound to end at some point," responded Luongo. "I'm just glad we won."

Prior to Hejduk's goal, Luongo has stopped all 23 goalie ratings faced in the four
games that have been reported. The shining moment of the streak was a 9/9 goalie
rating performance that resulted in a 27 save shutout against the Brandon Wheat
Kings.

"We allowed them to get back into the game," reported centerman Steve Rucchin.
"Every time we had the lead, we'd begin to play back on our heels. I'm sure Coach
Cherry will have us play more aggressively in our next game."

Aggressive play was not in order in this game. The two teams combined for just
eight penalty minutes. Two of the eight minutes came from a bench infraction.  But
to the delight of fans, Seattle capitalized on two of their three power play
opportunities. Marian Hossa's game winning goal came off their last two-minute
man-advantage. Tyler Arnason was set to come out of the box, but Olli Jokinen
coughed up the puck. Pressuring Iowa back in their own end, Hossa lifted a
backhand shot over Osgood for the power play goal [IN2:SP13:G16].

"What's good for the goose is good for the gander," Hossa said about his goal.  "If
our opposition can score those nasty split goals, we should be able to do the same."

Seattle's next home game is scheduled against their northern rivals, the Red Deer
Avros. There might be a slight delay as the Avros are experiencing jetlag.
