The sad case of former Flyer Mike Richards

IT'S BEEN a crazy month in Flyerland.

Kimmo Timonen finally won his Stanley Cup, albeit with another team.

Chris Pronger, who hasn't laced 'em up since the Phillies were good and still has a couple of years left on his gaudy contract, was traded, at least technically.

And then, a few days later, he was named to the Hall of Fame.

Up until now, the only current players who received such an honor had names like McCartney, Dylan, Jagger and, of course, Springsteen.

But the craziest chapter of the month in Flyerland involves, sadly, the Flyers captain who preceded Pronger.
