Steven Stamkos accused of spitting on Alexis Lafreniere by Rangers fans
After the final whistle during last night's game, Steven Stamkos and Alexis Lafreniere dropped the gloves. After the two fell to the ice, according to some Rangers' fans it appears Stamkos spits on Lafreniere.
Viewing the video it's clear how some could see it that way, but it appears more so that Lafreniere yanks on Stamkos jersey causing this motion. Steven Stamkos has an impeccable reputation and Lafreniere hasn't come forward with any claims.
If you ask us this is just a fan base who is feeling bitter trying to create a narrative.
