Which likely hasn't played well with Tortorella. He doesn't have the cocksure attitude of JT Miller, or the poise of Stepan, or even the arrogance of Dubinsky when he was at his best.

Agreed. And he should have it. He's seriously skilled. If he had more of a mental game, he'd be an absolutely elite prospect.

Briere was on the TSN panel tonight talking about coming back from 0-3 down. Game five will be the toughest to get.

Yep. Game 5 was always the one I was most concerned about. Elimination game on the road, but not winner take all.

Newbury is better than Richards? holy crap Richards is terribad right now but Newbury is a bum................Hopefully Powe can play C next game. atleast Powe can PK and not take stupid penalties. Newbury tries to goon it up to much in the NHL. no idea why he is so good in the AHL

It's not about whether Richards is better than Newbury. Boston's 4th line was having too much an impact in this series. Tortorella put together a 4th line finally comprised of players equipped to play a 4th line style of game. They did, and nothing should change for the next game.
 
The thing which hurts the most is we'd be up 3-1 if Hank had two even average games the first two games :(

I really hope the boys can pull this off. It'd be one for the ages.

I do, but you have to take that chance if your truly gonna have a shot to comeback in this, imo. Its a risky move but one I would make. I know others will say no way and thats fine.

I supported and defended Richards all season, but for the longest time, I was defending him personally, since there were a lot of posts about him that I thought were out of line.
My own feeling is that he cannot really do what we need, so, reluctanly, I find myself not wanting to see him dressed.

Haley, yes, Newbury not so much.

Still, it was three guys who played the right game for that line. Newbury took a dumb penalty but he also threw some hits and played tough, and, unlike Richards, he didn't try to be Crosby and end up giving the puck away every other second.

3-1 is a bit much, but it should be 2-2, we should have won game 1. up 1 in the 3rd and hank let up a softie. game 2 eghhh, you cant say we should a won a game we lost 5-2
 
The best team in the NHL this season is about to be in the same situation the Rangers are down 3-1 in the second round. That proves that it's about who gets hot at the right time and who gets some bounces along the way. The bruins were all but golfing 10 minutes left in the third in game 7 of the first round. It's all about momentum
 
judging from the post game interview with torts, i seriously doubt he's going to change anything for Saturday.

I believe he was also the first Ranger to actually hit Krug.

He played ok nothing more. I do think he will be better if they use his speed more. Im not sure he should be playing with Nash. He should be getting the scoring chances Nash does but on another line. Either bring Richards back in and play him with Kreider and Zuccarello. or put Kreider with Boyle and Zuccarello, then he can use his speed and shot better than being the second passing option on a Nash line. But thats just my opinion.

Just glad they got the win, but they still need 3 more, and that wont happen with the line combos they used today.

Kreider played very well all game. he was on teh puck a lot and was battling. In the 3rd period he unleashed his speed and had boston on their heels. Before the ot goal he has 2 other very close scoring chances
 
If they have any chance of coming back and winning the series, they need staal back ASAP.
