Eddie Lack still takes good-natured flak from Vancouver Canucks fans about the Heritage Classic game at B.C. Place 10 years after the fact.

Lack says Roberto Luongo deserved to play that game if he wanted to.

Lack would play another 57 games with Vancouver after the Classic .

Lack: Luongo treated him first -rate, despite all that was going on at the time.

Lack is fourth in goals-against average ( 2.43 ) and third in save percentage among Vancouver goalies.

Lack was 56-55-18 , with a 2.62 GAA and a909 save percentage in his five-season NHL career.

Lack enjoys the pressure of real estate, helping people build wealth in Arizona .

Lack doesn’t miss playing, explaining that he’s pain-free after having two hip surgeries.

Lack's favourite Canucks coach: “I have to say Torts (Tortorella)”.

There’s a ton of stuff to do and see and good food, he says.
