New York Rangers head coach, Peter Laviolette knows what he will be getting out of his top six staples led by the likes of Artemi Panarin, Mika Zibanejad, and Chris Kreider. Since being hired, Laviolette has put emphasis on building a strong worth ethic beginning on Day 1 of training camp.
“It’s about pressuring, it’s about puck pursuit, it’s about the battle level, the compete level, the grit,”
“It’s that grind in the game that makes teams great” said Laviolette at his introductory press conference in June.
Laviolette wants to see a fast paced team that is aggressive on the forecheck and in the defensive zone.
