Rod,

I hope so!

Glad to see him get some goals. He has played so well this season despite the lack of scoring.

Great time to step it up. Gagne out with the flu and Nedved re-injured his groin, so the goals were needed.
 
That was the WORST Hat trick I have ever seen... I couldnt stop laughing!

Goal #1- bounced off foot. "kicked in" - had to review it upstairs...

Goal #2- barely crossed the line - had to review it upstairs

Goal #3- Empty netter!

LMAO they shouldn't even allow those as Hat tricks...

I play hockey myself. Those aren't the types of goals you remember. Arguably the worst 3 goal perforamnce ever.
 
Craig Simpson says: "Some might call those garbage goals, but they all look the same on the scoresheet."

If you were a Flyers fan, you probably would be singing a different tune. :)

In 20 years, I'm sure Richards will change the story and his first hat trick consisted of a slap shot top shelf, a breakaway deke, and a wrister five-hole in overtime :D
 
Thing about Richards is that he's not a "pretty goal" player. He's had a few nice ones this year, but he's a guy that mainly just manufactures goals and makes plays by outworking everybody else. I'd rather have a guy that grinds out 30 goals a season than a guy that will flash and dash his way to a 20 goal output. Mikey's being groomed to be a long-time captain of this team, and I'd say he has a bright future both as a player and as a leader.

He's becoming quite the PK specialist. He had two shorties that night, and I think he's still the only player this year that's scored shorthanded on a 5 on 3 power play.

Yup, only player this year... I remember that game. 4-2 win against the Leafs.

They were tied 1-1 at that point and Toronto was going on a 5-3. I swear, you may find this funny, but I still say that shorty Richards scored broke the Leafs back for a while. They ended up losing that game 4-2.
 
Goals are goals. The same thing happened to me in my last HS game. One-handed poke into the net, goalie came out for a race for the puck and missed it, and a breakaway goal when my shot was awful. A hat trick is a hat trick.
