Richards, on Sutter’s hiring

77 Comments

Here’s what Mike RIchards said about Darryl Sutter’s hiring, and the first day of practice under Sutter…

RICHARDS: “It sucks, because Terry was a good coach. I’ve been through some stuff with him and played a lot for him, but that’s the unfortunate part of the business. It sucks, when the players don’t perform that the coaches have to go, but I’m excited for Darryl. He’s a hard-nosed coach. We’ve heard a lot of good things from different people around the league, and I’ve been talking to some players who have played for him and I’ve heard nothing but good things.’’

Question: How was the first day of practice?

RICHARDS: “It was good. It was up-tempo. We worked on some things. For me personally, it was just getting out there and being in a full practice again, working hard and feeling the puck with everybody and getting caught up with the speed. I thought it was a good practice for me and a good practice for the team.’’
