Would Michael still hunt Laurie down after being shot in the eyes?

Laurie shoots Michael either in the eyes or right above them in Halloween 2, he is blinded but still tries to get her, even after the explosion happens Michael walks outside of the room and makes his way down the hallway.

Assuming Dr. Loomis had been killed by Michael before he could light the match and blow the place up, would Michael really have been able to hunt Laurie down with his eyes shot or blinded?

Serious question because Michael was walking down the hallway on fire like normal, like he had recovered already, he had taken a coat hanger to the eye earlier in the night and still stalked Laurie after that, without that explosion Michael might have got up and kept on hunting her down through sheer willpower, Michael just seems to be that relentless.

On the other hand Michael might have finally been stopped even if he stabbed or choked Loomis to death before he could cause the explosion with the gas, being blinded he couldnt steal a car and drive or hunt down his victim easily, and the police would be there soon and catch him in his impaired state and capture or kill him this time.

Thoughts? I think that only Laurie shooting him in the eyes could stop him, he didnt die but he couldnt see anymore, according to Halloween H20 Michael got up and walked away after the explosion, probably took a long time to recover though.
