Mike Richards Hits David Booth + Interview with Richards

Philadelphia Flyers captain Mike Richards laid a huge hit on Florida Panthers left winger David Booth on 10/24/09. Booth was unconscious and did not move for about 5 minutes. The doctors came out and helped him onto a stretcher. The delay lasted about 12 minutes. He was taken to the hospital and they are saying that he is fine and he will make a full recovery. He spoke, and they tested his motor skills. He is going to be fine. When he will return has not been announced.

Mike Richards said that he had no intention of hurting Booth and that he is concerned about him. Mike is obviously not known for dirty hits, although the hit itself was not dirty. To me, it's just a wrong place/wrong time sort of ordeal here.




Mike Richards will not be suspended by the NHL and will not be fined. He received a 5 minute major and was thrown out of the game.

Interview with Richards takes place around 1:03 in the video.

im sure you're a butthurt buffalo fan who's mad he's not getting suspended for hitting connelly. live with it. Matt cooke has done worse..and don't talk about dirty..does the name KALETA sound familiar?

[wowugotballs]

@cowboyzsuk81 I totally agree on Matt Cooke. I dont care AT ALL about buffalo... Im a Rangers fan (go ahead make your jokes lol) but yea Kaleta is a scumbag too

[woussess]

First i was like "WTF!!!" then i was like "AHHH... Hes a Flyer"

Someone earlier said he "took out his shoulder to hit." well what are you supposed to hit with? And elbow is illegal, shoulder is legal. You don't hit with your stomach or your butt. What do you want, Richards to pull out his dick and slap him across the face instead of shoulder check. Dont admire your pass and you don't get wrecked, that's rule #1 when you're growing up

[bolts9126]

Okay, all you people going on about how that was a dirty hit... Well it was! But Booth always fucking gets injured. I mean in 2 years he was down over fucking 45 times on the ice! But if this were me I would have stayed down too for my own protection. But honestly suck it up you pussy Booth.
