I hear you knocking but you can’t come in. I hear you knocking, go back where you been. -Dave Edmunds
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Powerplay? Powerplay? We don’t need no stinkin’ powerplay. Not when Mike Richards is around the Flyers don’t. Last night, Mike Richards scored a shorthanded goal in the Flyers loss to the Penguins. Last night, Mike Richards scored his third consecutive game with a shorthanded goal. Big deal you say? Who cares you say? I say, Mike Richards is the first player in Flyers history to score a shorthanded goal in three straight games and the first in the NHL since Joe Sakic back in ‘98. Yowza!
In the new NHL, teams are more and more using top offensive players as penalty killers. In Phialdelphia, this strategy is paying off. Paying off in spades. Like my main man WC Fields always says, 
“I once spent a year in Philadelphia, I think it was on a Sunday.” That’s how opposing powerplay lines must feel. The penalty killing line of Mike Richards, Simon Gagne and Jeff Carter have each put up a league-high of at least four shorthanded goals. They each are wreaking havoc across the league. No one wreaks more havoc than Mike Richards.
Public Spectacle:
Peace out homies. Six two and Even!
Need More? Mike Richards, NHL, Philadelphia Flyers
