The word Agitator is defined as, in part, “a person who stirs up others in order to upset the status quo.” Which current member of the New York Rangers best fits that description? If you said the newly acquired Brendan Lemieux, you would be correct!
Lemieux, whose surname must awaken negative emotions from the previous generation of Blueshirt loyalists, has taken his new team and city by storm. He is quickly becoming a fan-favorite with rock star appeal. His long hair, brash attitude and rambunctious style of play is giving apathetic Ranger fans a reason to tune in and invest in otherwise meaningless hockey games.
