My Take
Sheldon Souray is my kind of defenceman: a 193 cm Albertan who logged 14 NHL seasons across five franchises and made his name with a slapshot that once set the unofficial record for the hardest recorded shot at the 2009 Oilers Skills Competition. I love when a defenceman, normally cast as the unglamorous role, can singlehandedly electrify an arena with sheer violence off the stick. That blend of patient defending and one explosive, crowd-igniting weapon gives him real flair. Longevity at that level only deepens my respect; he was both the workhorse and the showstopper, and that duality is rare.
