LUCIC KNOWN AS BOSTON'S BOB MCKENZIE
Lucic has earned the comparison for a number of reasons. For one, he seems to have a scouting report on every player in the league filed away in his brain. Also, he is knowledgeable about the history of the game. But, mostly, he can recite statistics on command.
"I think [Bruins coach] Claude [Julien] may even throw some statistics out, which Looch corrects him on," said Marchand. "He knows everything and you just don't want to argue with him when he speaks."
"He loves stats – and not just in hockey," said Julien. "It's in football, it's in baseball. He just really likes stats. Every once in a while, you kind of look at him after you say something stats-wise to see if he's disagreeing or agreeing. It's almost like the [Dustin Hoffman character in the 1988 movie] Rain Man."

I just read this. My daughter lives all the stat stuff too-she would probably love to talk stats with Looch.
I think it is funny that they look at Looch to check their stats.
