Or maybe he was deparate to get anything going. But another #1 centre would be nice.

I think maybe it was more an effort to shake up the first line. Kovalev and Zednick (esepcially Zed) have not responded to the return of Koivu. Having said that it did show what these guys can do with a REAL center. Ryder must have thought he died and went to heaven lol

I don't know about Heaven, but Ryder's goal was a bullet, wasn't it? Man, that guy can shoot! In theory, a guy like Ribeiro - a passer - should be a great complement for him on a line, but for some reason it just doesn't work.
