Maybe he was playing 4D chess the whole season. He knew Igor would steal the first half of the season and he didn't like Strome and Hunt so he didn't try hard hoping Drury would then make a move. Now he gets his guy Copp and has 24 points in 15 games for a 131 pace.Really want him to get his 100. Can't help but to think if we had Copper starting the season how many he would have accumulated. Prob 125 maybe 130 if no injury as well.
I finally know why Panarin is so good at stickhandling and is such a puck magician. It's no secret anymore. Some players go to the pub, some go to a concert, some go to the gym. But what does Panarin do?
I love Panarin's personality apart from his fantastic game. Follow up question, why doesn't every hockey pro has a really fast animal that loves to chase balls? If I was a hockey pro, I would think: "How about a fox? A ferret? A cat?" But I get it, Panarin's a dog guy and I cannot fault him for that.
Shestyerkin does also have long hair, Zibanejad cannot keep his flow inside his helmet in any way and they're both playing dominant hockey. Yet Kreider looks like he's working as a police sergeant. Maybe the flow needed is cultural? Or is Kreider an outlier? Fox doesn't have much flow either and he's struggling just a tiny bit. You might be on to something.tbh I think his biggest issue this year was his hair. It was 'not it' to start the year. Luckily, he got a haircut and turned his game around with those beautiful flowy locks.

All I can see is Jack Harlow.
this is the 'hair' I'm talking about. Played his worst hockey with it. Btw Zibs was playing terrible when his hair was covering his nameplate. Got a hair cut and things turned around.

Very underrated aspect of Kravtsov's game that barely any scouting reports touched on. He did get a buzz cut early in his draft year so that may have thrown a lot of teams off, his hair potential was one of the best kept secrets in hockey. After a few years of Kravtsov dominating the NHL, as people start studying him more; I think there is going to be a significant shift in the analytics community to evaluating players hair and overall swagger. Many years ago in draft interviews they were asking if their parents were farmers, now they're going to be asking about male pattern baldness running in the family.tbh I think his biggest issue this year was his hair.

So it will reach optimal length when he comes here, he doesn’t get haircuts in America. Remember the article he ran out of the barbershop when they pulled out trimmers?He just cut it though
Igor is 4-1 with 3 SO since his haircut.tbh I think his biggest issue this year was his hair. It was 'not it' to start the year. Luckily, he got a haircut and turned his game around with those beautiful flowy locks.
So, I guess I was spot on with my Guesstimation then.Maybe he was playing 4D chess the whole season. He knew Igor would steal the first half of the season and he didn't like Strome and Hunt so he didn't try hard hoping Drury would then make a move. Now he gets his guy Copp and has 24 points in 15 games for a 131 pace.
I doubt he's playing.Have there been any updates on Panarin's health? He wasn't there for shirts off their backs when everyone else was, even Sammy Blais. Seems like Gallant always downplays injuries, when it happened he said he could have come back that night if he was needed. I'm hoping he's OK for Tuesday but I'm concerned.
He’s practicingI doubt he's playing.
