November 27th, 2005 - To replace Steve Konowalchuk (wirst surgery) on the roster, the Avalanche recalled Brad Richardson from Lowell. Richardson made his NHL debut on this day - a 6-2 win over the Canucks at the Pepsi Center (hopefully, you've figured out the above picture is NOT from this game). Richardson played 9:04 in the game, skating on the 4th line with Dan Hinote and Cody McCormick. Richardson - a 5th round pick in the 2003 draft - would play 136 games for the Avs over 3 seasons, scoring 19 goals and 21 assists.

I always liked Richardson, and to me, he seemed mis-used while he was here. But… he hasn’t done much since he left, so maybe he’s not as good as I thought.

Forever grateful that Joe Sakic isn't a douche bag like Brett Favre.

I liked him as well and also thought he was miss used (funny how many guys had the term under Q and G). Then again he never seemed to fit in in LA either….

The 2009-10 Avalanche: It's like having a banana split while all the other kids are getting an ice cream cone.

I'm The Canary - but I'm not cute nor cuddly, and I don't sing.
