John Tortorella demotes Brad Richards

Richards seems to be forcing passes. He has especially taken to no-look passes that are missing targets and creating odd man rushes. I am really confused by his play lately. He is setting a poor example for young guys like Stepan and Miller. I would scratch him a game and work on thinking shot first with him for awhile in practice.

A point against a Sens team that, by the end of the game, was missing their three best players is pretty pathetic.

Torts out.

I was looking for way bigger things from Richards this year. He better find his groove soon or he might be an amnesty candidate. Torts in...

HA! How about getting zero points out of a 2-goal lead against the Blue Jackets who were missing their best players?

What have the Rangers done so far to deserve a thread a day?

And here I was going to wish you a Happy Birthday.

You don't think going 0 for 5, with a big 2 points out of a possible 10, and blowing a lead and losing to the worst team in hockey a good thing?

See why I tolerate all your abuse? (besides the fact that they're all pretty much true and indefensible)

Abuse? As a Western Canadian I consider them Public Service Announcements.
