I wonder if a guy like Richards would try to directly attempt that with individual players, like a good captain might.

Could or would he attempt that with players like Kopitar...or Brown?

Someone needs to.

Kopi with 0 shots in the biggest game of the season is not good enough... nor was his contribution to clearing the crease on the second Hawks goal by kicking Quick's stick.

someone has got to let him know that - when your linemates are two heavy-hands like Brown and Clifford, YOU'RE the shooter in that rotation!

This.

It would be like putting the 'B' for Badass on Scuderi's chest. Repetitive and implied.

Wow! A post that actually makes sense on a message board.

Well done.

Or 'OGTHALBIA' for Oh God That Hurt A Little But I'm Alright.

You don't need a letter on your shoulder to lead...

that's not really his thing. He'll lead by example, but he's not going to be calling guys out directly

Here we go again.. Next game Richards is quiet and we will say trade him.
