Stephane Robidas

Stephane Robidas is a Canadian defenseman on the Dallas Stars.

Robidas was drafted in 1995 by the Montreal Canadiens. He played one game of the 1999-00 season, but rejoined the Canadiens the following year. He was placed on waivers in 2002, and was claimed by Atlanta, who moved him to Dallas before he ever played a game in Atlanta. He was traded again at the start of the 2003 season, to the Chicago Blackhawks. After the lockout in 2004-05, he was signed by Dallas again, where he has finally developed into a solid consistent player.

In 2007-08 he set career highs with 9 goals and 17 assists in 82 games. He also added 85 penalty minutes. In the Stars' playoff matchup with Anaheim, in Game 5, Robidas was struck in the face by a shot. He returned to the game, and was in the lineup for Game 6. Despite playing with a full face mask and a broken nose, he scored the game tying goal and assisted the game winner to help Dallas advance to the next round.
