The guy knows how to find the back of the net. That's for sure. Even playing most of last year on Columbus he managed to score 21 goals in 55 games despite having an injured ankle.
I've actually been quite pleased with his play thus far this season. He looked determined when we played Chicago, and has been pretty solid for us all around, not being a liability, and battling along the boards. He has played well defensively and hasn't really done anything to be dissatisfied with.
Richards has been the cause for concern early on this season. Not only is he the worst plus/minus but now leads the team in penalty minutes all while not putting up a single point yet. He still looks sluggish and isn't coping well with the puck. I have no concerns about him turning things around, but he is definitely what is/was holding Carter and Gagne back. Hopefully today is the day he turns his luck around.
