andora said:bouwmeester can float, as can most players. sure, he doesn't do it very much, but i agree with jay thompson in this sense. jay doesn't have that inborn mean nasty streak that makes him punish players etc.. like an adam foote or even dion phaneuf has, and in that sense, when you look for a defenceman to nail a guy or rough him up, you don't see that with jay and in that case may see it as a defficiency, wheras the truth is jay doesn't need to play that way to still dominate all over the place, using his size, reach, skating, and smarts to win defensively, kind of like niklas lidstrom does
yep, what i was tying to say, except in my own huge long winded way
