Confirmed with Link: Panarin taking leave of absence from NYR (Warning in First Post)

[Cmox]

See this is what a thread devolves into when we don’t hear any sorta news? psychic psychologists, HF Cold War, speculation & hot takes galore... Please Rangers, for the sake of this board we needed a update yesterday.

Wasn't everyone saying from the beginning that the process would take two weeks? Didn't we just cross that timeline? With Covid Protocol and regulations it was always gonna be 2-3 weeks minimum. He's gone, it sucks. He'll come back when he can. Spiraling out of control with bullshit theories from an outsider perspective is ignorant.

At the sixteen day mark, and with his teammates in obvious need of his assistance, this is becoming concerning. I've preferred to assume the best... much as I find it wise to do with the coaching staff and other people who know more about any given subject than I do. The duration of this LOA is starting to get a little weird, though, or so it seems. I'll say this much: whenever this situation is brought to a close, the explanations are going to need to be detailed, plausible and blameless.

Hate to say it but I very seriously doubt we’ll ever get a detailed explanation on this based on how quiet they’ve been about it so far.

Yes, he supposedly diagnosed a person via videos. AMAZING GIFT YOU HAVE. I will stick what players feels about the person, they all seem to like him.

Imo you could get a decent idea of someone’s diagnosis via video if you had a ton of it that showed a wide range of reactions to different things and thought processes. I’ve never seen a ton of anything from Panarin though, seems kind of quiet in public life

Amazing self-confidence with the virtual diagnosis...some might say narcissistic?

so where's bread

I just picked up a loaf. The bread is in my fridge.

The videos I’ve seen of Panarin not hockey related.

• Drunk dancing
• Drunk dancing and kicking
• Drunk “ Happy New Year, I speak English now”
• Playing with his dog

I see a full of himself ego maniac for sure.

As expected, this thread has gotten ridiculous.

Total conjecture, but could it be something financial related? Can be very sensitive. Unrelated, I think he was also very upset and vocal about the whole escrow/cap situation. He signed for 10 mil, and he's getting way less (like all other players) so finances might be a sore(r) subject for him

Our last President was an idiot, so who gives a rat's ass.

Yours incumbent president can't even remember his defence secretary nameImagine there nuclear war and Joe asking his staff to call for "The Guy Who Runs that Outfit"

So his solutions to this would be to not play?

I’m not sure Joe has shown much of a memory for anything.
He would probably break out a Rolodex and start looking for Churchill’s number to warn him about the commies

It can't have gotten that bad...

... nevermind.

As we speculate, the big question is actually "to what problem *his* solution would be to not play"?
It's hard to come up with too many (if any) believable reasons if you ask me.

BUT if it's not actually his decision.. There are some rather simple ones.

Though admittedly I'm not sure what to think re the "conflict with the org" hint in the last (and actually the only worthwhile) report.

What kind of monster keeps bread in the refrigerator?

This thread is screaming "LOCK ME"!

Why is that? Are we all just supposed to sit here and wait for the organization to grace us with some information about what’s going on with our best and most expensive player?

I am completely sensitive to Panarin’s right to privacy, but like it or not, he is a public figure and one whose salary is paid for by fans of the team and league. While I don’t feel like us civilians are owed a detailed explanation about his personal life, I do indeed feel as though the team owes us the occasional high level update as to what’s going on and when we might expect this guy to be back.

As I said before, the silence is deafening. Artemi and the team are making this worse on themselves by keeping everything so hush hush. Speculation is obviously going to get out of control if people aren’t given any information at all.

It's been. Past tense.

 

[Fitzy]

NY Rangers twitter cryptically suggesting Panarin is back

 

[1Knee1T]

Can we stop now?

Edit:

 

[tlk]

Not until he plays!

PS YEAAAAAHHH

 

[TominNC]
