I'd hazard to guess that played a factor.

Oh come now Opy.
Injuries shouldn't matter, and don't count. Professional athletes are supposed to be robots. Anything less than perfection, regardless of the reason, is unacceptable. (also see: Jeff Carter).
However, we did see a bit of that Richards, despite fighting a wrist injury, when he dove to block a shot at the end of a game the Flyers had no chance to win. I'm sure that was by accident though.
