Richter played all 14 of his NHL seasons with the Rangers, and was in goal for the team's 1994 Stanley Cup championship. He compiled a record of 301-258-73 in a franchise-record 666 games in net. He also holds the club record for minutes played with 38,185.

A three-time All-Star, Richter was also a member of the 1998 and 2002 U.S. Olympic hockey teams, the latter of which won the silver medal in Salt Lake City, and was the goalie on the U.S. team that won the World Cup in 1996.

He was named the MVP of the 1994 NHL All-Star game, and holds eight Rangers' regular-season records and five postseason records.

Mike Richter is retiring because of post concussion syndrome,my favorite hockey player for most of my life is finally hanging up the skates. Look for a Richter Jersey tommorrow, and look for a rabid hockey fan who is paying homage to his favorite player.

Do you love music? I mean, do you fucking love your music, know it, sing it and play it? If you do, a very brilliant idea might be coming your way. Bob Reynolds has brought to my attention an idea that would link musicians into covering songs for a cd....but here is the catch. There is no set band, you get others involved and just go wild on any song you want, cover it as it is written or fuck around with it......crteative control is open. Any music you like, get people and cover it. It will be recorded on a set day/ days and then we can spread the madness to anyone that will listen, this is a chance to do something great and freaking awesome. If you are a musician, we want you. Contact myself or Bob Reynolds about it, and things will fall into place from there.

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

It is all passing by too fast for my liking now these days. The minute I believe I have a grasp on what I want or believe, it is changing around me. I have no idea who I am anymore, at all. I used to have at least an idea of what I wanted to be, or who I was at the moment.....I now am just walking through life clueless and lonely. I really can't say I have made a connection, a real connection with someone in entirely too long. Sure, I have talked to people, I have had fun.....but nothing I do now makes me feel like I really know the people around me.......I am just slipping in and out of lonely nights, writing a shitload of lyrics and holding everything in. It will come out sometime.......but until that time, I don't even know who I am seeing in the mirror in the morning.I don't know, maybe I am just a little strung out or tired......but I just don't feel enough anymore.....I mean really fucking feel. If you don't understand, I don't blame you.....but if you even kind of get it, then I am not too alone in the world after all. Later.
