VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Roberto Luongo is still getting over the shock of being traded by Florida to the Vancouver Canucks yesterday. The goalie said today he was caught off-guard by the five-player deal that sent tough guy Todd Bertuzzi to the Panthers.<br>
<br>
Luongo says he thought he had worked out a long-term deal with the Panthers earlier Friday that would have allowed him to stay in his wife's Florida hometown where they had just moved into a home.<br>
<br>
Luongo says he's looking forward to playing in Vancouver but says it was too soon to think about signing a long term deal with the Canucks.<br>
