If you want to win Gold, you invite Mike Richards. Easy as that.

Actually that's pretty much what Babcock said in 2010 when Team Canada was announced "You want gold, you need Mike Richards' ANd he said it with a tone that would suggest that this was common knowledge that everyone should have known already.

And he was right. He also called Richie (can't recall if it was before or during the games) 'a gold plated Swiss Army knife'

If you want to win silver, NHL silver, you want Mike Richards as well.

I think it's in NW Ontario.

It's a couple of hours east of Winnipeg. And it seems there is a cold front going through a lot of places this week, causing some of us to wrap ourselves in blankets while sitting in the backyard in the evening. A friend of mine in MINUTE said she was contemplating turning the furnace on but that's TOO extreme!

I'm a couple hours west of Kenora. Its been brutal all week, windy, cool and overcast. Nice for flying though.
