He was good.
For most of Loob's career in Calgary, the Flames were not a very skilled team. Watch the video of the '86 game 7 against the Oilers. Loob is making sweet passes that are bungled by guys like Steve Bozek and Jim Peplinski. He didn't reach his full potential until the Flames added guys like Niewendyk to the roster. And then he went back to Sweden.
