Rangers lost to the Isles Feb 14, 2013

The other big story out of that game was Brad Richards seemingly finding his way into coach John Tortorella's doghouse. Richards spent most of the third period and overtime planted on the bench, taking just three shifts and logging just a little over two minutes of ice time over the final 25 minutes of the game.

Brad Richard's reaction to Body Issue 2012

Brad Richards is pleased with how his inclusion in ESPN The Magazine’s body issue turned out. The Murray Harbour native was one of 26 athletes to appear in the magazine, which hit newsstand about two weeks ago, with little more than a hockey stick, basketball, football or a baseball bat. “Everything I’ve heard has been good and positive,” Richards said. “I probably won’t be doing it too many times again, but it was a good experience to try it out and it came out good.” So, what’s the reaction been like from the teammates? “They’ve all gave me their two cents,” Richards said with a laugh. “I’m sure I will hear more when I get back to training camp.” The 32-year-old New York Rangers centre said his manager brought him the idea at the end of the hockey season. Richards said initially he had his apprehensions, but once he heard it was going to be a hockey-related shot and athletic, he decided to do the photo shoot. “I probably won’t be doing it too many times again, but it was a good experience to try it out and it came out good.” - Brad Richards, New York Rangers hockey player It is the magazine’s fourth body issue includes creative photograph, interviews and features. Richards appears in the magazine naked taking a shot with a hockey stick. “To be honest with you, you do a lot of those poses throughout your career, but with equipment on,” he said in a video interview on the magazine’s website.
