Souray does not have the mobility or hockey sense to stop a speedy dangler with open ice. He does a lot of great things for the team, but that is one play he can't help us with. We need to get him a skilled, mobile partner this summer.

Exactly he tries to play the body too much, which isn't too good for a 1 on 1, if he would poke check Bergeron, or just follow him playing the puck maybe Bergeron wouldn't have scored.

WAAAAAAYYY off buddy.

1 on 1 you TAKE THE BODY. Ask anyone! The thing is Souray ALWAYS makes the first move, the player then moves the puck and by the time souray tries to take the body, the guy blows by him. Go to NHL.com check the highlights if you dont believe me! There a 3 great examples of this. The Spezza dangle...the Briere dangle and the Bergeron dangle last night. In ALL 3, Souray tries to poke check first, misses, and then loses the body afterward.

Souray is a great d-man, but 1 on 1....i KNOW that he will 9 times out of 10 lose. That is why you need bouillon's and Markovs. guys who force them to the boards and take them out....HARD!

Good point then. Souray also can't keep up with these kids. I do miss Bouillon.
