Phillips probably had the best playoff performances of any of our defencemen, which is kind of funny. The big run in 2007, some big goals (NJ Game 6 in 2003).

Redden had his one good series against the Lightning in 2006. He was always better against the non-physical teams.

Chara's big series was when he went head to head with Roberts in a losing cause.

I can still remember when we used to talk about "Playoff Phillips" and "Regular Season Phillips", and then one day, he started playing with his playoff intensity in the regular season.

In any event, we've had decent defencemen but I don't think they've been as impactful as a number of forwards. (Karlsson likely as an exception)
