It's Inevitable

[John Cimarno 252]

The fact that Richards has scored 11 points in the past 5 games is astonishing and great news for the Lynx. It seems they have found a line combination that works for the first round surprise. Heading into the past sims which were a double sim, Richards was sitting at 41 points in 45 games. After the sims Richards sits at 52 points in 50 games. He had a 4 assist game against the Hounds and that really propelled him to these point totals. he now has a 7 game point streak where he has scored 14 points in his past 7 or something like that. Richards is sitting at 183 TPE and will be capped as soon as next update. He should end up with at least 197 TPE by the end of this week assuming he get's nothing from fantasy zone. Richards and the Lynx are battling for first right now with the Aces who seem to have the Lynx's number when it comes to beating them. Though we have had some close games, we have not been able to overcome our rivals in Vegas. 

 

Richards isn't scoring 40 goals this season by any stretch but he is scoring tons of assists with 36 assists and 16 goals his role of being a goal scorer has flipped this year. He still hopes for 25 goals though which is entirely possible. At the rate he's going he could score 85 points in 72 games.

 

The turn around for Richards has been incredible to watch and he continues to get better and better.
