Hoppy...Cited...

Good ol' Mike Heika, there to help save an otherwise BORING Monday morning at the office.  Apparently, Mo and Mo will get the chance to have Jere Lehtinen on their right side starting in Vancouver.  And what do you know... 6-8 weeks will look more like 4-6 weeks for Brad Richards!!!  Only obstacle for Richards will be learning how to shoot with an immobilizer on his wrist.  I'm sure the conditioning isn't there yet, but you don't play hockey for this long and have been able to skate with the team for almost 3 straight weeks and get to couch potato status.

This makes the pants a little happier knowing that Begin can now become a situational pain in the arse and Sutherby can go LW with Neal RW on a Richards Sandwich Line.  Heck, maybe get Richards between Neal and Brunnstrom and have the instigating line of Barch, Sutherby and Conner/Begin.

I like the way this is shaping up gentlemen.
