Let's see a show of hands: Who assumed that Filip Kuba's size automatically indicated that he should be a physical player?
Or maybe here's a better question...
If we're going to go after big defencemen who really should be expected to play tougher, why don't we put Chris Phillips in the crosshairs?
News flash: Not all blueliners are built alike, and those who can't afford Chris Pronger tend to keep their defensive grit at home. Kuba was brought here for puck movement and offensive contributions. Was anyone really expecting anything else? (Insert Marcus Allen riff here.)
More later.
