Brad Richards Video Tribute January 19, 2009

This tribute was run during the game between the Dallas Stars and the Tampa Bay Lightning on January 19, 2009. The video was a tribute to Brad Richards time in Tampa, being drafted 64th overall in the 3rd round of the 1998 entry draft (Vincent Lecavalier was taken #1 overall and mentioned to the Lightning about Brad), his charitable organization in Tampa, Richy's Rascals, and the Tampa Bay Lightning's 2004 Stanley Cup Championship where Brad was named Conn Smythe Trophy winner (MVP of the playoffs) with 7 game winning goals an NHL record.

I was born and raised a Rangers fan so seeing him wearing Ranger blue is a comfort to me but in the same breath, I miss seeing him in Bolt blue and always will. He played here for so long it was the strangest thing not to see him after he got traded and it will always be strange to see him in another jersey.

Wonderful video! miss seeing him play now that he is with Dallas

He is an under rated player who should have made the Olympic Team

I'm a huge Dallas Stars fan and I love B-rad...I think people need to appreciate him way more and he definitely deserved to make the Olympic team. It must have been hard for Tampa to see him go :/ it was really sweet for them to play this for him, though.

And @87kim91...if he's your cousin, go tell him that a girl named Charlotte in Dallas thinks he's awesome haha :)

@HCUS3 Are you kidding me? Mike smith is crap... So inconsistent and wasn't worth Richards in the least.

[TBLRichards19]
