Looch has always had limited minutes under Sutter, so I'm not sure why this would change. People's expectations seem low, which is why I'm not expecting to see any complaints about him this season... [emoji6]
He's the key leader in the room that everyone looks to for a stabilizing voice. Keeps the guys loose enough but focused on their game (see his various post game interviews). Makes everyone play bigger and keeps the other mouth breathers on opponents in check.
So, lots of heavy hits, maybe some time on the PP playing immovable object in front of the net, which led to a lot of goals on the PP last year and plenty of fights when the opposing team dares to. Yes, I'm a Looch fan and very happy the Flames have him.
