Brad Richards Off to Career Best Start

From Erik Erlendsson at The Tampa Tribune,
Richards is off to his best start through 19 games and is on pace for a career high in goals and right on pace to match his career best in points. And while the point production is a big part of Richards’ game, it’s not the sole indicator of how he’s playing.
In watching Richards on the ice this season, he looks quicker, he looks stronger, he appears to have more confidence and seems more intense, noticeable in his fight Wednesday against Carolina’s Justin Williams that left him with a cut on his lip.
“I feel a lot better, I do,” Richards said. “Sometimes you can’t control the points and it would be nice to bury a few more chances, but overall I feel way better, way stronger so I feel a lot more confident going into this part of the season. Whether or not my start - and I think it’s been a good start and that’s obviously going to help - but I feel different and I feel a lot better than I did last year.”

Ha! Well, at least the madness keeps you in business as you break down the idiocy of the latest rumors, Lyle. I always enjoy it when you do.

The dire dearth of early season trades is leading to more madness and idiocy than usual, Alanah. But you’re right, it’s at least keeping me in business.

Guess this means we’ll start seeing rumours about how his trade value has “never been higher” or how Jay Feaster, despite his denials, is quietly shopping Richards, despite his $7.8 mil per season salary and his no-trade clause.
