Richards for Mayor?
Philadelphia did beat Montreal,4-2,to go back to Stanley Cup final,first one since 1997,when they were swept by Detroit... but in the city of Brotherly Love,they are touting the hustle of Mike Richards,who scored the first goal of the night,for Philly,after beating Roman Hamrlik to the puck,spun off a three way collision,between Halak,Hamrlik,and Richards,and kept his eye on the puck,which went towards the goal,and Richards avoided a goalie stick,near the net,and tapped in a short handed goal,to tie game at one... Philadelphia,at that point,took over game on defense... Jeff Carter scored twice,including an insurance goal,on a pass from,guess who?Richards,who refused to give up on the puck,beat his man to the puck,tripped over his own feet,and laid a pass to Carter,who basically tapped in a backhand into the net... Richards was first star of the game,in my book... he had a goal,and two assists... he earned my respect,and,no wonder why,he is Captain of the Flyers... Montreal did score first,at :59,of the first period,when Brian Gionta,blew one past Leighton,but after the short handed goal,i could tell Montreal was done... it was just the way they played,jumpy,and jittery,for the rest of the game... after Carter scored the first goal of two goals,to make it,3-1,Montreal seemed to know it was done,but did make a run at the Flyers,the last seven minutes of game,and did score to make it,3-2,on a goal,by Scott Gomez,but Philadelphia played defense just well enough,to put Montreal,on golfing patrol,and summer vacation this year... now Chicago plays Philadelphia,in Chicago,at the United Center,Saturday.... should be interesting...
