On Saturday morning, we exchanged text messages with Brad Richards. The Dallas Stars center was excited about making a surprise early comeback from a broken right wrist that had kept him out five weeks.
He was supposed to miss six to eight weeks but was set to return, wearing a brace and willing to tough it out because his team needed the points in the wild Western Conference playoff race.
Several hours later, we thought it was a cruel joke when a phone call from Dallas informed us that Richards had broken his other hand and was out indefinitely. He'll need surgery Tuesday to fix a spiral fracture to his left hand.
