Richards Out 3, Probably More Weeks

According to the first article that came up on Google News Search. This is a serious problem for the Flyers. He's their leading scorer, a leader on and off the ice and he might be the best player on the team.

They've dealt with some injuries before, but this might be the worst yet. Combined with the heartbreaking loss against Florida, and I'm not sure this team has it in them anymore. This is a tough way to come down the stretch after playing so well for so long.

NHL All-Star Break

There's a lot of stuff going on down in Atlanta this weekend, but here are a couple big things.

The skills competition, featuring some new events, along with the Young Stars Game, will air on Versus from 7-9 on Saturday. The revamped skills event will feature an obstacle course relay, a shootout competition, a new breakway competition that is essentially the NHL's answer to basketball's slam dunk competition, along with the classic fastest skater, hardest shot and accuracy shooting events. As far as I can tell, lineups for these events haven't been announced yet, but I'll get them up when I see them.

The Young Stars Game will be 12 minutes of 3 on 3 action. In last year's game, everyone scored a goal except Malkin, who ended up winning the Calder anyway. There aren't any Flyers in the event, but you can view the full rosters here.

The main event is obviously the actual All-Star game, which will be broadcast on Versus starting at 6 on Sunday. Kimmo Timonen and Mike Richards will represent the Flyers. You can view the full East roster here and the full West roster here.

The full schedule of events this weekend can be seen here.
