I think Luongo would need to steal Game 6 or 7 with a series of highlight reel saves. By steal, I mean he faces 50+ shots, with at least half of those from scoring areas.
But, when Luongo is on (as he has been for 2 games this series), he's so technically sound that it becomes hard to appreciate his game. People here still worship Kirk McLean because he made some highlight reel saves, like the 3-on-1 in OT against Calgary in Game 7. The closest save for Luongo would be off Patrick Sharp in OT against Chicago. While that one was a huge save, it wasn't as dramatic as McLean's pad stack across the crease. McLean also stole Game 1 in New York in the final with a 50+ save performance.
