Alexis Lafreniere is a polarizing topic for Rangers fans. His effort over the weekend was poor at best, which is ironic because he looked good in the Rangers first preseason game of the year. Ups and downs are expected, especially with rust to shake off. However this felt different, so much so that Peter Laviolette had to call out the team, indirectly referencing Lafreniere’s effort in the process.
There were some wild opinions out there. Most seem to be frustration with Lafreniere, as those rumors about his work ethic are starting to prove true.
