He also had zero points tonight like Nash.
Both of them have been particularly awful in the post season, and are barely responsible for the Rangers being here. There have probably been 6-7 Rangers forwards that have done more in the playoffs than those two.

Nash has played hard over the playoffs much better than Richards who was just awful tonight. Nash seems to have lost his scoring touch as nothing seems to be working for him offensively and he's like a glorified Blake Comeau. Richards on the other hand may as well get ready for free agency as he's probably going to be bought out and rightly so as he's just not a great player anymore. Torts may have been right benching him last year as the Rangers would have been better off tonight if he was in the press box.
