Vancouver coach Rick Tocchet on the Blackhawks today:
"I'm a big fan of Luke Richardson and his work. They've dealt with a million injuries. I don't even know half the guys in the lineup sometimes because they're coming up from the minors. But the one common denominator is they work hard. They play a lot of 2-1 hockey games."
