Brad Richards: Past News Updates ( u25b2 View most recent update )
Forgetting the media frenzy around the 33-year-old's disappointing season, the veteran center still mustered 11 goals (34 points) and a plus-8 in 46 regular season games, good for third in team scoring. Nonetheless, having spent most of the lockout shortened season in John Tortorella's doghouse, no one is happier to see new head coach Alain Vigneault than Brad Richards. Richards' new personal trainer, the highly regarded Ben Prentiss of Integrated Exercise Therapy (who also trains Martin St. Louis, Max Pacioretty and Jonathon Quick) sees reason for optimism.
