Thumbs up to this week’s “Saturday Star”—it’s the Chicago Blackhawks’ $2,000,000 bargain-basement buy, Brad Richards. Yasiel Puig Jersey . His two goals sparked the Hawks to Saturday’s 4-1 win at Los Angeles, so Chicago goes home with 10 of a possible 12 points from its annual “circus trip.” There’s a line about the Ringling Brothers’ three rings at the United Center and the Blackhawks’ goal of three rings in six years—a line begging to be forgotten, I think. But there’s no doubt the successful swing through six Western Conference cities found the Hawks at their best, and what better way to end the trip than to beat the Kings and erase some of the sting left over from last season’s playoff loss. As for Richards, he has to think there’s no better place to be than where he is right now, in the middle of a line with Patrick Kane and Kris Versteeg. With the Rangers’ buyout money tucked away, Richards is giving the Hawks a nice fit into the salary cap structure and exactly what they wanted in a number-two centre, and much more than what two million bucks can buy any other way. Thumbs down to players who voice their support for coaches on the hot seat and think they’re saving their jobs. Philadelphia’s Craig Berube is the latest to read rumours of his imminent departure, and Wayne Simmonds is the Flyers’ player most vocal in his support for the coach. I’m guessing Ron Hextall is the same as any general manager who feels pressure to put an end to losing ways and hears dressing-room advice for what he should or shouldn’t do—his thoughts would go something like this: “You like the coach and you don’t want him fired? Play better, start winning”. Truth be told, Hextall could also shrug his shoulders and point to the owner’s suite, as if to say, “Mr. Snider is the guy you have to convince, but don’t bother trying him, either”. Flyers did nothing but try the patience of Snider and Hextall by taking the Rangers’ one-two weekend punch, and now there’s a trip through California for the floundering Flyers. Actions, not words.

"I was asked, do I need to talk with Donald, and I passed, quite honestly," Rivers said Monday. "I dont think right now is the time or the place, for me, at least. I just took a pass." Sterling is purported to have told a woman not to bring black people to his games or associate with them. "Yeah, I believe he said those things. But I still want to make sure," Rivers said during a conference call. "As far as believing those things? I heard what he said. Until someone tells me differently, you usually listen to what people say. I havent given him his due process. I havent given him an opportunity to explain himself and quite honestly right now I dont want him to. I want to wait for that further judgment." The coach cancelled practice Monday, a day after a 118-97 loss to the Golden State Warriors that evened their playoff series at 2-2. "I just felt like they needed to breathe. Theyve been inundated with this," Rivers said. Still, he said pretty much the entire team was at the clubs practice facility. "Ill go down and say hi to them and talk to them, make sure theyre in the right place. Right now its more than basketball. This is a non-basketball decision that I thought I had to make and I thought it was right decision. If you get your life better, then you can probably do your work better. They need to do that." Game 5 is Tuesday night in Los Angeles. "These last 48 hours or so have been really hard for our players and everyone," Rivers said. "Id just like to reiterate how disappointed I am in the comments attributed to our owner. I cant tell you how upset I am, our players are." Warriors coach Mark Jackson suggested that Clippers fans should boycott the game. "I believe iif it was me, I wouldnt come to the game," Jackson said. Yasmani Grandal Jersey. "I believe the fans, the loudest statement that they can make as fans is to not show up to the game. ... To me, it will make the noise of it not being tolerated. That this is a different time. Its unfortunate, and we cannot allow someone with these feelings to profit." Rivers said he knew Jackson was speaking from his heart and that everyone has their opinion. "I dont share that. I hope its packed and people are cheering for us, the players. And they were cheering for the players before this happened. But if they feel differently, who can say theyre wrong? And Im not the one thats going to say that, I can tell you that." Rivers said its still to be determined whether he or a player will address the crowd. "Again, we dont know the right answer," Rivers said. "We want to do right here. We want to make the best decisions here. If we feel thats something will help our fans, then it will be done. If we feel its something they dont need, we wont do it. The tickets have already been sold. The fans, theyre in a dilemma as well. We want them to cheer for their players and their team. Because its still their players and their team, and it will be their players and their team. I think from what I get from the fans Ive heard from, thats how they feel, like, This is my team, these are my players Im cheering for, and thats not going to change. I hope that continues." Rivers said the controversy has been tough on his players. "What other players are going through Should I be playing thoughts in the middle of a playoff series? I sympathize for my players. They didnt sign on for this. Yet here they are and theyre in the middle of it and they have to deal with it. They didnt do anything wrong and theyre in the middle of it, and they didnt ask to be. I feel terrible for them. Im going to try to do whatever I can to make them OK."
