Brad Richards is eager to bounce back this year after a tumultuous lockout-shortened season. "I feel great," he said. "At the start of the summer, I had some time to reflect and get back to work. The next step is to get going ... The best part is knowing that hockey is going to start again." The 33-year-old center is "very motivated" heading into the 2013-14 campaign and he thinks that coach Alain Vigneault's offensive style will be a good fit for him.
