Mike Richards time as captain of the Philadelphia Flyers was a tumultuous one. He helped the Flyers reach the Stanley Cup Finals in 2009 but had feuds with the media, including a verbal boycott on his behalf, and was accused of
partying to excess. In the 2011 off-season, Richards, along with fellow accused-party bud, Jeff Carter, were shipped out of Philadelphia. Richards was sent to the Los Angeles Kings, where he has had a solid start with 10 points in 10 games.
