ESF (4) Boston Bruins vs (6) New York Rangers (Bruins win 4-1).

[Dion]

Look, Brad understands every veteran eventually meets with a healthy scratch. What upsets me is the ingratitude reflected in Tortorella's remark the other day in the New York Post. "Sometimes it's not all about Brad." That was uncalled for.

I realize that once a player signs a big contract, he'll rarely ever be the golden boy again in the eyes of the spectator. In the new salary cap world the players look around the room at the big money makers and question whether that players' cap slice is costing the club.

But for Tortorella not to respect what Brad has done reminds me of a thoughtless Mike Keenan publicly ripping Wayne Gretzky in 1996 when Detroit beat St. Louis. Mike had his 1994 Cup ring, and forgot it was the players who had secured it. Mike later apologized to Gretzky, but the damage was done and Wayne later signed with New York.

Wow, I would be utterly embarrassed by this article if I were brad richards. At least feign some semblance of professionalism by calling him "Richards" instead of "Brad". Yikes

It's an opinion piece. Not sure what you're looking for. He specifically states they're friends, and he's biased.

Here's the article that you're looking for:

Brad Richards is a healthy scratch tonight. The end.

I'm looking for some semblance of professionalism. Exactly what I said.

[Skaloper]

Is Boston trying to lose the game?

[Free Ben Hur!]

Ha ha Chara. Pocket picked = goal NYR.

[Saqe]

God no I don´t want to see anymore of the Rangers this season

[Skaloper]

Finally Tyler Seguin gets his first

[Miniac]

Lol NRY ppg!!

[Saqe]

Hockey gods want Rangers to come back and take the series

[Erick Estrada]

Was that Boomer Esiason the camera panned to in a Rangers hat after the goal?

[Saqe]

Can´t believe this game has to go to overtime, Rangers have done absolutely nothing to score 3 goals
