Thats what I was referring to when I spoke about refusing to sign the team pledge , a couple of guys partied a little too much and the right wing christian management team demands a "pledge" up until that point all anyone in hockey could say about Richards was how great he was in the locker room ,he tells the clowns to piss off and live their own lives and let him live his and all of a sudden he's poisen in the locker room ? ask LA if he's a cancer as a Leaf fan I've witnessed some dumb trades the last 45 years and I'll bet anyone that Richards is going to prove what a tarded deal that was . Anyone who grew up in the game will tell you that you don`t get to that level by being a party first guy , those guys get washed in minor midget , all teams go through losing streaks it`s a tough business and guys silently play hurt and the real hockey guys will tell you Dan that turning on your Captain and making those kind of excuses is BS they were a really good team that needed a goalie bad ,now they may have found one but they`re not as good a team ,hope for your sake Pronger can carry the load now that he's finally healed up .
