I feel so bad for making fun of Looch when he was with the Oilers but obviously it's a necessity when you wear that jersey. But he's been such an awesome teammate for the Flames pretty much since the day he arrived and everything and beyond what Neal was for this team. Definitely not just a giant dumb lumbering oaf like I always called him. Not to mention a monster when he drops the gloves and you just know he's gonna beat somebody's ass. Don't think I've seen him lose a fight here yet.
Is he overpaid? Yes. But ignoring his salary he's the kind of player this team needs and he's pretty skilled at times and a decent player. In a rough season overall, he's been part of a handful of players who have been bright spots. Congrats on 1000 to the big man!
