As much as I appreciate Looch, at this stage of his career, there has been a noticeable decline in his foot speed. He is not someone you want on the ice near the end of the third period when the other team is pushing for a tie. If he is caught on the ice with an icing call, he could end up with a shift that is 2 minutes or longer, and that’s just asking for trouble due to his inability to keep up the pace.
