Brad Richards Photo

looks similar to Tyson Nash minus the hair & actual hockey skills

The picture looks as if Richards is thinking

“Aw, geez, Bryz, you’re right. I never thought about how big the universe is… God, why couldn’t Avery be here today so he could talk to this guy instead of me?”

Let's Go Blues!
