Comments from Brad Richardson following the Kings’ morning skate in advance of Game 3 vs. the Chicago Blackhawks…
On if there is added pressure from missing guys in the lineup:
“No not really, just try to play your game. Obviously we want them in the line up, he’s a great player and hopefully he’s back soon. Everyone [...]
On his feelings about playing last night:

“We’ve played them a lot. We played [...]
On being comfortable with Brad Richardson stepping in:
“Yeah, played with Richie a lot so I kind of know how he is. Gonna miss Stolly out there, but Richie’s kind of a prick to play against. Great on the forecheck, has a lot of speed, and makes plays. So we just gotta stick to what we were [...]

Today, Kings’ forward Brad Richardson turned 28 years old.
So, it seems like as good of a day as any to out him once and for all.
Seriously, at his age, he should know better.
Truth be told, Richardson is a front-runner.
And for a guy who fashions himself as the second-best dressed player on the team – behind [...]
In the two games played so far this season the Kings have notched three goals total – all from players who don’t normally register too high up on the scoring charts. For example, their totals from last year show just eight goals…combined.
