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

[TheBPA]

No conspiracy guys. Zero. None.

It would hella interesting if there was some kind of amazing backstory to share. But there isn't.

No one should be surprised by this. The team wouldn't have gone out of its way to publish a statement in support of him.

Boo. Why the f*** not? If he has been skating and looked good physically, what's the problem? Not like it's a winning lineup that doesn't need help...

 

[Off Sides]

Probably just a body double they trotted out there to avoid any further questions.

Unfortunately there's in-shape and then there's game-shape.

The difference between the two can be surprising. But I don't think we're too far off hopefully.

"Hi Jeff, this is Vince with USA Today. Why does Panarin have a Brooklyn accent all of a sudden?"

 

[mrmovies779]

I'd like to see him with Chytil.

Panarin Chytil Gauthier....yes please

I understood it with Kakko, who had not been skating for over 11 days because he was quarantined. He needed more than 1 session on ice before putting him back in. With Panarin (if I've understood it right) this has not been the case. He has been doing some skating, despite being away from the team. Also, he was not recovering from COVID. It's not the same thing.

But whatever, glad he's back. I hope his mere presence in the locker room is a cheer up for the boys to make a bounce-back effort against the Bruins.

This has me thinking of the Dr. Meinheimer body double from Naked Gun 2 1/2

 

[Daves a mess]

Bag skate his butt for 2 or 3 days and back in he goes. Umless he's been on a Combos and large frie diet, I'd be shocked if he isn't playing by this weekend.

Buchnevich is also a ventriloquist, which is why he has not been traded for Eichel yet.

 

[LetsGoRangers2021]

why the secrecy then?? DQ just recently has been quoted as "we're talking with him but out of respect I'd keep that private". Doesn't make any sense

enough dude. Just be happy and ask your Mom to make me some brownies.

It's a shame that how Quinn developed him.

The dude used to put on a hell of a saucy puppet show.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

You can't tell me he couldn't play tomorrow and replace PDG's mins and play the pp.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Glad this sonofabitch is back. Hopefully we get to see a fully in-tact lineup for once this season lol.

So all the ridiculous speculation was.... Nothing? Shocking I tell you.

Because admitting he's in quarantine would infer that he went back to Russia. The Rangers were keen on keeping anything surrounding his situation confidential.

The part with the nesting dolls always cracked me up.

Shout out to Bread coming back as this thread was going completely off the rails, what a team player.

 

[CasusBelli]

Nice to see that camaraderie.

Yeah. Same thing in soccer — “healthy” vs “match fit”. Difference is definitely substantial.

 

[CasusBelli]

k will now you like brownies after being strapon'ed whole night long

[leetch99]

My friend wants him traded lol.

I agree...if we got a great Center back....I would drive him myself. He has about 3 good years left if we are lucky and it will be at least that before we see a Final....he may as well be gone now IMO ....we have the wingers now that will make up the offense soon enough ...but we need a Center . Nobody knew we would win 2 draft lotteries when he was signed . That changed it all .

If not for the damn NTC, I’d trade him and a sweetener (age premium) for Eichel, though I’m not sure to what extent that sweetener would be offset by Eichel’s public desire to leave the Sabres.
