I simmed through to current day and Richard remained a Red Wing his entire career. The Rocket never had a 50 goal season but did enjoy a productive career with the Red Wings, winning an MVP award and 4 scoring titles.

He also was a part of 4 of the Red Wings 8 Stanley Cup teams in their franchise history. Detroit won it's first Cup in Richard's second season (1941-42) and would also win in 1946,1947 and 1949.

Post-Rocket Cups for the Wings came in 1961, 1965,1967 and 1980. The 79-80 team was led by the likes of Mike Bossy (56-60-116), Jean Ratelle (45-59-104) and an aging Gerry Cheevers (22-18-6, 3.53).

Here is the career totals for Richard. In real life he played 978 games and had 965 career points.
