Souray leading all defenceman
Permalink Closed

Let's give Shelley his props. He's leading the league for defenceman in Goals and Points. All he needs to do is work on his 5-5 play and well, we have found our #1 D-Man.

Props to Shelley!


...although #1???  And-o thinks that Shelley himself would think that was a stretch!


What do you think of this JohnM???  Markov #1 (although he needs to start competing nightly)...Rivet #2...Shelley #3...Komi #4!?!?!?


...clearly though, Shelley is a PP specialist!


(Did anyone catch Shelley's comments on CBC after the game???  He credits Higgins as being the main guy on the PP/offense for getting to the net!!!  The kid is destined to be a hero in Montreal!!!)

As someone who is quick to criticize Souray...

Right now I don't care if he's weak in 5-on-5. Our penalty kill looks fine with him out there, and he is a force on offense. Plus a banger and a leader. Good for him. I'm ready to vote for re-signing him already...

Here's my list, And-o:
Markov #1: ok so he's not mindblowing so far this year, but he's not bad either, and he makes it look easy so it's easy to overlook him. He's our key guy.

Komisarek #2: perfect complement to Markov. Everything Markov can't do, he does. This is guy is getting good fast.

Rivet and Souray: NOT a good pairing, because they are both kind of slow. But Rivet is at least a good reader of the play, so he does protect Souray somewhat. I think I'd actually prefer:

Rivet and one of Niinimaa/Dandenault/Streit/Bouillon (whoever's playing well) as #3 and #4, with Souray a #5 or 6 who gets a lot of PP and PK time.

I miss Bouillon. I seriously think our defense would be different with him there.

No, but I did read this comment from Souray in the Gazette:


"You see guys like Saku Koivu standing in front of the net and creating traffic and that makes it tougher for the goaltenders to see the shots from outside."
