Richards Reaches Los Angeles

Mike Richards was traded to Los Angeles Kings in the month of June. He will do the role of forward for the kings. He was playing for Philadelphia flyers in the last season. There are rumors that he was sent away by the Philadelphia flyers because of his party boy activities and for not taking the role of captain seriously. Though Richard had denied the allegations by the media the officials of flyers are not satisfied. Richard talked with the media people and tried to clear him of their allegations .he was given support by the Kings fans.

Mike Richard was having a high position in Philadelphia but in Los Angeles kings he will be sharing his position with the top center Anze Kopitar. One of his teammate from Philadelphia will join him in Los Angeles. John Stevens the head coach of Philadelphia has been already appointed as an assistant to the Kings coach Terry Murray. It was with the help of Terry; Richard had made this transition happen. Simon Gagne an old friend of Richard will also join him in Los Angeles Kings

Richard who wants to have a new start is hoping that thing will go smoothly in Southern California. Richard is happy that he has reached a place about which he knows. He thinks that it will be therefore easier for him in focusing his energy in learning the pros and cons of his opponent rather than learning about the players in his own team. Richard believe that things will be lot more easier as he will get a chance to play with Simon Gagne, his former team mate, Dustin Brown the Captain of Kings, Kopitar and Justin Williams. He wants to leave behind him the allegations and accusations as party boy and want to move on. He is sure that he will be able to adjust to the conditions in Los Angeles within a short time.

But there were reports on news papers that some flyers have revealed that Richards’s hard partying nature has pushed him in to trouble. Richard is really unhappy about what is going behind him. He said that it is mentally draining to hear something about him that is not true in any sense. His fans hope that he will be more focused in LA.
