I know there is more to do than scoring, but it is still something that I would like him to do more.
The guy that is never there when the Flyers need him is Jeff Carter, he should be the 1 that is in this thread, not Richy.
Carter pads his stats aginst the Atl, islanders..... where is he when this team really needs him???
Carter in one of the keys to the Flyers success. he has to step it up.
If you had to pick between Carter, Richy, Getzlaf, and Perry. carter can't carry any of the others jock strap, and he was drafted the highest out of all of them.
Are you kidding? Until this year, Carter had the most goals in a season of anyone in that draft class. You have to be high or retarded to think he's not better than Richards, who hasn't had a better offensive season than Carter in the last 3 years.
I'd take Richards over Carter too. It's not just about the scoring. Richards isn't just a grinder. He's a heart and soul player who can do it all. He's usually always mentioned as a Selke finalist. He was on Team Canada for a reason. The guy isn't having his greatest year but come on. You make Philly fans look petty and uneducated.
The Selke Trophy is based on reputation, not actual play. If it was actually given to the best defensive player, I'd imagine the winner would average more than a minute shorthanded per game. Datsyuk hasn't the last several years. Why isn't the "best defensive player in the game" playing shorthanded? That award is a sham.
Counterpoint to Richards being good defensively. When the Flyers play the Penguins, do you know what the matchups are? In Pittsburgh, where the Penguins control the matchups, Byslma always puts Crosby's line out against Ricahrds' line and Staal out against Carter. In Philadelphia, where Laviolette controls the matchups, Carter is out there against Crosby. Why would Pittsburgh want their best player matched against our Selke nominee and their shutdown center matched against the lesser offensive player, and why would Laviolette want the lesser defensive player against their top player?
Try to watch a game once in a while.
Carter > Richards. Always has, always will.
Fucking relax guys,
I made this thread to try and understand if people thought Richards was perhaps hurt!!
If Richards was the face of the Flyers and if he is Vocal enough and has the intesity to spark this club like a captain should!
