Alexis Lafrenière is finally showing why he was the #1 overall pick! In this Big Apple Hockey breakdown, we dive into Laffy’s incredible recent success with the New York Rangers in March 2026. Since returning from the Olympic break, Lafrenière has been on an absolute heater: 9 goals in his last 10 games (career-best stretch), including his second NHL hat trick in a dominant 4-0 shutout over the Calgary Flames on March 10. He’s racked up 13 points in his last 9 games, multiple multi-point performances, and is thriving on a rebuilt top line with Mika Zibanejad and rookie Gabe Perreault. We cover: His post-Olympic surge stats (goals, points, shots, shooting %)

now the Rangers go on a heater. have their season best winning streak, and end up with a top 10 or worse 1st round pick.
Laf has never been this hot
Why now I want them to play good but they have to lose. Get a top 5 pick fellas. Even though they can’t develop. Well take our chances.
Filk "Laffy won't be in the starting line-up next year" then couple minutes later "Laffy and Perrault are two key cogs essential to this teams success going forward" SMH
Still not bought in gotta wait till next season
Laf is the #1 reason for Laf… He has been inconsistent for years now, He doesn't hustle at times…. Laba out hustles him and deserves everything he gets.If you blame coaching for Laf, do you give credit to the coaches for Laba.
Since lafreniere's value increased, the best thing to do is TRADE him in the off season, we all know what kind of player he is, hes been here for 6 years. Right now hes hot, that doesnt mean hes gonna all of a sudden going to turn into a 80-100 point per season player…he was on the line with artemi panarin and failed to be that player he was supposed to be. I say get rid of him in the off season since his value gone up!!
Don’t give me hope
2 of my favorite actor/roles that surprised the snot out of me were: Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison in The Doors and Brad Pitt as Mickey O'Neil in Snatch… My favorite villan is Javier Bardem as Anton Chigur in No Country fFor Old Men.
Proud to be part of the conversation. Keep up the good work.
Graves-Messier-Verbeek my all time favorite line!
Do you think Alexis Lafreniere has finally figured it out or is this just a hot streak mirage?
Idk…Laf might have Mike Piazza syndrome…I wasn’t a met fan but one of my best friends was and he always talked shit about piazza showing up most when it didn’t matter. It’s great to see him produce but it’s gotta be against good teams and consistently. Even still I’d rather keep em for the time being.
You’re never gonna get the value you want for him
