Tortorella Must Focus On Richards
The Rangers played two abysmal periods against the Devils Tuesday night and despite a better third (and a shocking refereeing decision in waiving off a late tying goal), they deserved to lose. That said, this is a tight-knit bunch who know how they need to play and (usually) play their style of game well.
The Rangers listen to their coach. Now that Tortorella has his team singing...

Why the Richards Signing Was Worth It
It kills me to admit I was wrong, but yes the Brad Richards signing was worth it. And not because he scored his seventh game winning goal last night (that helps), but because of his Rangers teammates reaction to that goal (via Blueshirts United)...Ryan Callahan..."It's so great for (Brad Richards). He's working so hard, and you know he wants to put the points up, and...

Richards Wins It for the Blueshirts
When the New York Rangers went out and signed high-priced free agent Brad Richards to a nine year deal during the off-season, it is games like last night that the Blueshirts had envisioned for him.
After Brian Boyle tied the game up at 3-3 in the third period, the Rangers’ assistant captain Richards scored the game winner in overtime off a great feed from Artem Anisimov to...

It’s no secret that when the New York Rangers were thinking about upgrading their offense in the off-season, their first priority was to add offensive-minded free agent forward, Brad Richards. After an explosive start to the season for the Blueshirts, Richards has all but lost his way.

Tortorella Cutting Brad Richards Too Much Slack
I feel like the span between these posts about Brad Richards has become smaller and smaller as the season passes by, which, for obvious reasons, is not a good thing for the Rangers' big free agent splash this past summer. Richards was brought here for several reasons, but the most prevalent included his playmaking abilities, his presence at the point on the powerplay and his...

GAS Line Reunited, Mitchell Promoted, Richards Struggling
Following last night's 1-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils at Madison Square Garden, head coach John Tortorella switched up the offensive lines during today's practice in hope that he will bring more offense out of his hockey club. The team has been struggling to put the puck in the net lately, especially on the powerplay, and that's a problem they don't want growing...

Rangers Need More Out of Brad Richards
Over the past few weeks the New York Rangers haven't been playing their best hockey, or at least haven't been playing to their capabilities. There are a number of things to point fingers at for the cause of this, but one of the major issues is the performance of their top players, or lack thereof. Center Brad Richards, who has just one point in his last 5 games, tops that...

Richards, Dubinsky Keys to Rangers Second Half Success
With the New York Rangers back from the All-Star break collecting three out of possible four points in games against the New Jersey Devils and Buffalo Sabres, one aspect to come out of both contests is the lack of consistent offense from their top-six forwards. The Blueshirts have managed to scratch and claw their way atop the Eastern Conference standings with stellar goaltending...

I said going into this game that a four-point weekend would be huge for the first place New York Rangers, and as usual, they did not disappoint with a solid 3-2 win over the Washington Capitals at Madison Square Garden. The reason it is so huge is because the Blueshirts have now distanced themselves from the rest of the Eastern Conference by creating a seven-point spread between...

Aside from Brad Richards himself, there is no one who knows the talented centerman better than head coach John Tortorella.

This played a large part in Richards agreeing to less money in order to come play in New York this past...
