Parkland's Roberto Luongo offers passionate support as Panthers honor victims

Florida Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo was stellar in net Thursday night, but he already was the game's first star for the speech he delivered beforehand.

Luongo, a Parkland resident with his wife and children for the past 12 years, spoke about the shooting victims from nearby Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

"No child should ever have to go through that. It's terrible," Luongo said before the game. "It's time for us as a community to take action. Enough is enough. We have to take action."

Here's his speech:
