Tests find Richter has small skull fracture

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ESPN.com news services


The Rangers were in serious danger of not making the playoffs.

Now, that fate seems even more likely for the Blueshirts.

ESPN has learned that Rangers goalie Mike Richter was diagnosed Tuesday with a small, linear fracture in his skull just above his right ear and is out for the rest of the regular season.

The goalie will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Richter, 35, was still feeling headaches Sunday after he took three significant blows to the head before he left Friday's game 2:20 into the first period.

According to a report on Newsday's Web site,, the concussion symptoms subsided, but team doctors gave Richter to a CT scan Monday night with the result coming back Tuesday.

"It's still hard to believe," Richter told the newspaper. "I've been hit in the head many, many times and nothing like this has ever happened. It's still sinking in."

The news is just another string of sudden ends for Richter, whose last two seasons were both prematurely ended by torn ligaments in each of his knees.

The Rangers, who are three points out of a playoff spot, will now rely on 18-year-old Dan Blackburn to start the final eight games of the season.

Oh well, so much for this year Blueshirts fans. Have fun watching the playoffs.

Quotes, you may THINK you Devs fans are harsh, and have a big rivalry w/ the Rangers, and so on and so forth, but this one has been brewing for 30 years! It's consisted of 4 playoff meetings in addition to the huge amount of regular season contests, most of which had a playoff atmosphere such as last night's game. Devs fans may not like the Rangers, but you have no idea how deep the rivalry is between the Isles and the Rangers.

edit: no offense or nuttin Quotes, just telling it like it is.

Hey TeenWeek, why don't you think of something new, seeing as how the guy's been retired for 10 years already. Sure, it was funny again for the few months that Felix was on the team, but give it up dude. At least the Isles fans were smart enough to drop the 1940! after the Rangers won the cup in 94. We understand when a chant is meaningless. :rolleyes:

I know, and I'm not trying to be difficult, it's just one of the things that bug me about Ranger fans. I do understand that is a tradition, and a long-standing one at that, so please disregard my apparent bitchiness of the last post and take it merely as friendly joking, or something like that.

Wow, the Isles will finish above the Rangers for the first time in a long time. I cant even remember the last time it happened. Congrats to the Islanders.

Ive never had a problem with Islander fans, but mostly because their team has always sucked so much that there was no need to pay attention to them. So, i give you Icelander fans a glimer of my attention, cause we all know that business will be back to normal next year and the Rangers will finish ahead of you again.

JJ, no chance of him playing. Blackburn's starting, just saw the lineups on ESPN. Tell your friend to start using espn.com, not esp.com :-p
I doubt he'll be back this year, if anything it'll be for the last game or 2.

Considering those games are going to be meaningless, you will not see Richter the last 2 games of the year.

But watching the 1st Period of this Ranger game, its great to see them play with such Fire and Emotion for a team on the verge of their season being over. Gotta love that motivation from Ron Low. If it wasnt for Blackburn it would be 4-0 Flyers right now, instead of 1-0. They suck.

I love when people say, "If it wasn't for (insert goalie's name here), it'd be 57-0 right now." If there was no goalie in net, all the shots would've gone in. Richter could've kept this 1-0 just as easily, as could have a lot of other goalies in the league. That's what they're paid to do, stop the puck. I do agree that Blackburn is doing a hell of a job, but he's not the only one capable of doing what he's doing.

Well everyone I have talked to that knows hockey(not counting internet friends) agreed with me that the Richter injury was the final nail in the coffin. I mean if he wasnt injured, it wouldnt look as grim as it does right now. But without him they are so screwed. Poor Blackburn has to carry the whole thing on his shoulders. Sucks to be him i guess.

Well the seasons over anyway, I think it was a while ago for them. Might as well give Blackburn some playing time. I would play Blackburn even if Richter wasn't injured. Mike was overplayed this year, he deserves a rest. Atleast this injury happened at the right time...


One more for the good guys!

Will you stop nitpicking? Are you watching the game. Through the first 2 periods, Blackburn has made numerous incredible saves that could have easily been goals. The Rangers are giving their usual no show defensive effort and on a normal night it would be 5 or 6-0 Flyers right now.

And of course the Flyers get their 2nd goal off another deflection off Dave "Useless" Karpa, which was on a Power Play on a total bullshit elbowing call on Berard.

Yes, it was a bullshit call, great hit by Berard.
It is not nitpicking though, because although Blackburn is playing an outstanding game, there's no way to say that anyone else would have allowed 5 or 6 goals to this point. Sometimes goalies have good games, sometimes they have bad ones. This is a great one by Blackburn. Too bad he has no help in front of him.

When did I say anything about anybody else??

Your looking too much into my comment. All Im saying is that Blackburn was spectacular in the 1st period, and if he wasnt they would have gotten destroyed. Thats all. Case closed.

I like Blackburn how many kids are in his position any time you want to trade him to the flyers feel free. Rangers need to give whoever's in goal a break. just my opinion. 6 goals a game and no defense means you lose 7-6

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
