Especially this season, he was playing in all situations for the Bolts. He plays against the other teams top line every night (if Torterella can get his way anyways), and is very solid in his own zone. He's sorta like Zetterberg in that department...i mean ZB is considered one of the best two-way players in the game and was expected to be nominated for the Selke as best defensive forward...even though a guy like Kris Draper is better in his own zone (if that makes any sense at all lol). The Hockey News picked Richards as the Bolts best defensive forward as well.
Their best two-way forward might be a better way to put it.

very wild...2nd was good too...should be a good 3rd
back to the Richards stuff, IMO he's an excellent leader, next Stevie Y, Joe Sakic if you ask me...quiet guy who leads by example..but I also think they paid too much. Don't think this would happen but could, St Louis got the first big contract for TB I think, after his all star year, then Vinny gets the bigger contract, now Brad gets an even bigger one, anyone think that could cause trouble inside the team? Money creates egos that can't work together(see team Canada in Italy)...being a fan of these players I don't think it will happen but who knows

Very entertaining game tonight in Edmonton indeed, it had a little bit of everything. Lots of fights, lots of hitting, and lots of goals. The Oilers almost let this one slip away in the 3rd, but managed to hold on. Up 3-0 now, it looks like the Oilers are heading to the final - although i still find that hard to believe. That building was rocking tonight! And how about Mike Peca!!

I was in section 223 in the Molson Fan Zone....and I couldn't hear a thing!!!!
I have never witnessed anything quite like it before.
The best part of it all, was when Paul stopped singing O Canada, and let everyone else take over. f**k, such class. You will never see that in any arena, in any sport ever.
I still have chills thinking about it.
watch it here if you didn't catch it tonight.

Yop, that O Canada was pretty surreal
hock: I was gettin chills too, almost shed a tear.....
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!
