The effort and will are still there. He's still an excellent facepuncher and nuclear deterrent when needed so there is that.
Don't know how many goalies will leave the 5 hole open for him to score his favorite way of scoring? But ....Looch just needs to be a solid checker who can pin opposing players deep in their zone and not be a defensive liability.
I think he's got plenty in the tank and lots of ways to inspire his team.
Glad he's here as he's still one of my favorites but Darryl will likely sit him allot this year if he's missing assignments, unprepared etc etc.
Didn't he come into camp last year in phenomenal shape? Just hope he does the same this year and stays healthier.
