Vinny Lecavalier's No. 4 will be retired Saturday by the Lightning. In today's podcast, we take a look back at Lecavalier's career, starting as the top overall pick in 1998 to winning a Stanley Cup, then being bought out by the Lightning at the end of his career.
Rick Stroud is joined by his old partner, Tom Jones, to look back at what Lecavalier meant to the Lightning and the Tampa Bay community through his countless charitable activities. Listen below:
