After his Stanley Cup run in New Jersey , he found himself bouncing from team to team through trades including Pittsburgh , Tampa Bay , St . Louis , a second stint in Montreal , and even a trip back to the minors before ultimately retiring . He was openly criticized by other players for his comments during the NHL Lockout of 1995 leading to 1 / 2 the normal season when he stated " . . . we should be playing hockey " , when asked about the strike and his feelings about the negotiations . Richer is among the all time leaders in playoff overtime goals , with four .

Richer was blamed for the collapse and was subsequently traded back to Montreal Canadiens in 1996 - 97 season . Playing style . Richer was known to have one of the hardest shots in the NHL during his playing days , coupled with an extremely quick release . Unlike many other players , Richer only had to wind up his stick to about waist height to achieve full power on his shot . Recognition of his hard shot was noticed even more when Fleer trading cards included Richer in their " Slapshot Artists " limited set for the 1994 - 95 season . During the 1994 New Jersey Devils team - only skills competition prior to the All - Star Game , Richer recorded multiple slapshots that exceeded the 100mph mark . In a well documented legend , during one pre - game warm up session in New Jersey , Richer fired a slapshot at his own goalie , Martin Brodeur , which shattered the cup in Brodeur ' s jock strap , leaving him bruised and nauseous . Brodeur had to leave the ice and change equipment moments before the game started . A fast skater with a big body ( approx . 6 ' 3 " , 225lbs . ) , Richer used skill and his shot to beat opponents as opposed to a hard - hitting power forward style which was prototypical of an NHL player of his proportions .
