He said he's a big fan of Luke Richardson and the work he's doing. Tocchet recognized that the Blackhawks have faced a lot of injuries and have players coming up from the minors, making it hard to keep track of the lineup.

He mentioned they often play close games with scores like 2-1.
Vancouver coach Rick Tocchet on the Blackhawks today:
"I'm a big fan of Luke Richardson and his work. They've dealt with a million injuries. I don't even know half the guys in the lineup sometimes because they're coming up from the minors. But the one common denominator is they work hard. They play a lot of 2-1 hockey games."
This unexpected praise gives a glimpse of how the Canucks view their upcoming game against the Blackhawks and shows respect for their opponent's commitment on the ice.
