The New York Rangers have had a dearth of scoring in the post-season but star center Brad Richards says the team's philosophy won't change tonight, when they meet the Washington Capitals in the seventh and final game of their playoff series. "We'd like to get out and score three or four goals in the first period, but winning 1-0 is the same as winning 5-1," said Brad Richards, whose team has not scored a pure five-on-five goal over the last 144:52. "We're not going to abandon our structure just because people are writing about a lack of scoring." The Rangers have held the lead for a total of 22 minutes over the last five games, have not held the lead at all in any of the three games they have lost, and have not held a third period lead for so much as a second after Game 1.
