 | | Richards has been surrounded by reporters after every Tampa Bay Lightning practice and game during these playoffs, a process the reticent young player from a fishing village in Canada's tiniest province has reluctantly discovered is a necessary evil for anyone who emerges dramatically from the shadows. |
 | | Richards certainly has, thanks to a Conn Smythe-worthy performance for the Tampa Bay Lightning in the playoffs, one that has consistently eclipsed the efforts of better-known teammates such as Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis. |
 | | Richards, who along with St. Louis was recently named to the exclusive Team Canada World Cup roster by Wayne Gretzky, was one of the most important targets for general manager Jay Feaster last summer when he set about trying to ensure all his restricted free agents would be at training camp on time. |
