I don't know how folk can determine that Big Lou's season last year was disappointing when so many other factors played their part.. Firstly, he had spells of injury and secondly, was benched by a clueless rookie coach who preferred to ice players whose contribution and effort was embarrassing and shameful. Lou's performance was curtailed and we were constantly baffled why that was.
Glad to see the back of those guys.....but never Big Lou. A guy who has given tremendous service to our Club, loved by the fans. I always felt reassured by Lou's cool, measured, menacing gigantic presence patrolling the blue line. It's a massive hole to fill.
...and if he does go, he deserves recognition.
