Brad Richards doesn’t backcheck as Blackhawks give up shorthanded goal
You can glare at the ref or help your team, pal. Your choice.

To be fair, this shorthanded goal isn't entirely Brad Richards' fault. Steve Kozari is the only referee officiating the game between Ottawa and Chicago, and he managed to get lost and in the way of Richards' pass, deflecting it down the ice where the Senators scooped it up.
But at that point, Richards had a choice to make. He could stand and glare at Kozari, or he could turn around and help break up the shorthanded chance. He took the latter, obviously. It's almost comical how Senators winger Alex Chiasson zoomed by Richards untouched before eventually setting up the goal. Do better, Brad!
