New York Rangers Arthur Kaliyev Fires Back At Peter Laviolette After Being Disciplined By Him
New York Rangers newest forward Arthur Kaliyev fired back at head coach Peter Laviolette after being disciplined by him.
Yesterday it was revealed that New York Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette was expected to discipline an unexpected forward following an announcement.
The New York Rangers went out earlier in the season and claimed Arthur Kaliyev off of waivers from the L.A. Kings.
Although he hasn't really performed offensively for the Rangers, it's safe to say that he has been a good pickup by Chris Drury, especially considering the Rangers didn't have to give up anything to acquire him.
It seems that Peter Laviolette isn't too happy with his game, and is expected to discipline him in their upcoming game against the Boston Bruins on Saturday.
At practice yesterday morning it was announced that Kaliyev was not taking part in line rushes, indicating that he is set to be a healthy scratch against the Bruins.
