Brad Richards and Rick Nash did not play well in a Game 6 loss to the Capitals Friday night. The two star linemates were in trouble virtually every even-strength shift and did not create many scoring chances. It's hard to win a series when your two top forwards are non-exsistent but that is what Ranger coach John Tortorella is facing. It is surprising that Richards has struggled so mightily. Up unitl this post-season he has been a pretty clutch playoff performer. If the Rangers are to avoid elimination Sunday, Richards and Nash are going to have to step up.
