Spider-Man NL Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 It's been 20 days since Habs blueliner Sheldon Souray crumpled to the ice in Florida. His pain was felt by every Canadiens fan, and an MRI three days later confirmed the injury, which didn't require surgery, but shelved the team's best defenceman for roughly six weeks. Tuesday, as the Montreal Gazette reports, if he gets the go-ahead from Canadiens orthopedic specialist Eric Lenczner, Souray will be back on skates for the first time since Feb. 10. He'll test his knee with the close supervision of Scott Livingston, the team's strength and conditioning co-ordinator, whom he's gotten to know well during three injury-riddled seasons here. "Out of 10, I'd rate my knee today at 6, maybe 61/2, which is very good," Souray said. "The strength is coming back, and I think I'm way ahead (of schedule). It's tough to say before I start skating, but I feel good and I'm doing a lot of stuff in the gym that maybe they didn't think I'd be doing this early.

habsfan88 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Great to get that news. With souray back in the lineup, (hopefully bulis too) we will be back on track, even though we have been winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch96 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 We all know about the surgery on his wrist and how he scores like crazy now.....So no he had surgery on his knee, will be skating faster too now??:/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Biff Malibu Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hopefully he isn't moving too fast. You don't want to do more damage to an already injured knee. Remember at the beginning of the year with Koivu. He tried to rush back and ended up prolonging his return date. Take'r easy Souray and get well soon.
