Every defenseman in the league wants their defensive partner to compliment their strengths and cover for their weaknesses, and thankfully for RIP THUNDERDOME 2013-2023, his defensive partner on the Tampa Bay Barracuda has been one of the best defensemen in the league for the past few seasons. For the past 2 years, RIP THUNDERDOME 2013-2023 has skated alongside J(longname) DuBolk, who has won both a biscuit for the best defensive dman, and a stevens for the best overall dman. Over the past 2 seasons the two have developed great chemistry. DuBolk is the more defensively sound of the two and carries the load in the defensive zone. This allows THUNDERDOME to focus on his strengths which is puck movement and point shooting. DuBolk will start the breakout by retrieving the puck, will send it to THUNDERDOME who will break the puck out using his passing or skating abilities. Its a very effective duo.
