Along the boards and infront of the net is where he tends to struggle more so.
Gorges-Subban
Markov-?
Emelin-Diaz
Considering Kaberle is likely still in the mix, in terms of balancing things out..
Markov-Subban
Kaberle-Gorges
Emelin-Diaz
Gorges game likely to take a hit from having to cover Kaberle, but it should also make it a useful pairing. Emelin-Diaz despite inexperience are relatively solid defensively. Gorges can play with Subban in the dying minutes and the PK.

That IS his game, he is a defensive dman, he covers for his partner. This isn't rocket science.
What no more breakaways for Gorges because of darn Kaberle weighing him down?
