Wife is quite broken hearted that Brad Richards has been traded to the Dallas Stars. I’m just disappointed they didn’t make it further in the conference this year, but at least Brad’s new team did. Speaking of which, did you see the player take the puck to the face? You’ve got to wonder what the owners of hockey teams are paying to provide their players with health insurance. You can bet that they’re health insurance rates are not the cheapest, but their coverage must be phenomenal. Every other game someone needs stitches to their face or head! Or how about poor Dan Boyle who cut his hand on a skate during on of the first games this season? The tendon was sliced and the injury put him on the bench…you’ve got to wonder if the team had to go researching new health insurance quotes after that injury.

And speaking of that, I wonder if players insure their own bodies to protect themselves?
