Brad Richards ESPN Body Magazine interview came out today and one of the subjects he discussed was the intensity of training camp workouts...Describe your toughest day of training.BR: Training camp is the hardest thing we do all year. It starts with on-ice testing: six sets of three-lap sprints, which take between 39 and 43 seconds, depending on how fast you are. Then a two-mile run and skating: turning for time, figure 8 drills, sprints, stuff like that. The next day we do more sprints to get in the range of a shift. Then we start the training camp -- the actual scrimmages and all that -- and do all the skating after. It's a week to 10 days of really intense skating, which is good because once the season starts you're playing too much to work on conditioning. You have to set your base then, so that's the hardest time, harder than what we go through on the ice.To read the rest of Richards body interview, click here....if you want to learn more about Richards' thought...

The Rangers were eliminated in the Eastern conference finals against the Devils for a few reasons. Most fans question the lack of goal scoring and high end skill and rightly so. The fact that the Rangers still haven’t gone out and addressed this frustrates many, even though Glen Sather has been right to not over react.
Then there is the theory that the Rangers may have run out...

As Dave noted last week in our ongoing discussion about Rick Nash, it’s very possible that Nash wouldn’t be the only Blue Jacket coming back to the Rangers in a potential blockbuster trade this summer.
There have been wide-ranging reports of Columbus GM Scott Howson’s trade demands, but the general consensus seems to be that he wants a couple of NHL forwards, a top prospect...
