It’s always fun to walk back along memory lane and remember some of the lesser-used numbers in Tampa Bay Lightning history. I always have time to read about Pavel Kubina. [Raw Charge]
His style of play was way more physical than what Lightning fans are used to seeing out of their defensemen these days. He excelled in blocking shots and knocking players off of the puck. And despite not being offensive-minded, he still had enough skill and awareness to run the point on a power play if needed. He was a steady all-around defender that was the backbone of the Stanley Cup team.
