I was a huge Loui fan and I was not happy when the Bruins let him walk. Unfortunately his time here was marred by concussions but when he was healthy he could snipe that puck.

I wish him all the best in his retirement.

Great player, but his tenure here was full of what ifs.

John Scott and Brooks Orpik both gave cheap targeted headshots to him within a few weeks early in 2013-14, and he never really got back on his feet until 2015-16, when he was tremendous (of course, Sweeney neglected to trade him at his peak value at the deadline and they still missed the playoffs).

If Eriksson doesn't get those concussions and he's able to provide scoring either on the Bergeron line or the third line with Smith slotting down, the Bruins beat Montreal and win that cup that year.
