New York Rangers superstar calls out Peter Laviolette for recent coaching decision
New York Rangers superstar Artemi Panarin has spoken and calling out head coach Peter Laviolette for his decision for not playing the young players on his roster.
Panarin Has expressed frustration with his coach as he feels that all players on the roster should be playing as the team continues to work towards making the playoffs.
Panarin has strong opinion on recent coaching decision
The young generation now, they all bring 1,000 skills. The young players have confidence, they skate, they work for it.
I know I am not a coach, but I think that players have to play. You can't expect them to grow if they are playing three minutes a night. If a younger player shows he can contribute, he needs that chance.
It helps everybody, it helps the team. - Peter Laviolette

It's clear that the Rangers superstar does not see any love for the younger players by Laviolette as the Rangers have recently recalled Brennan Othmann, Gabe Perreault and Brett Berard.
Berard has seen the worst treatment with his icetime
Perreault has only recently arrived to the Rangers after signing a new three-year entry level deal which will give him time to play with the Rangers or at least spend time learning the organization.
Berard on the other hand, has not seen the ice time he should as over the last five games he has seen his time dropped considerably down to roughly 6 minutes game and has not accumulated any points.
General manager Chris Drury is trying to turn the page and bring in new blood into the Rangers lineup as the team is fighting for its playoff life and currently remains 2 points behind the Montreal Canadiens for the second wild card.
Only time will tell if Laviolette may change his ways and give his youngsters more responsibilities and more ice time as the team tries to erase its disastrous November and December and get back into the playoffs even if its by one point.
