Tom Wilson loved seeing Panarin trying to stick up for a teammate....you see where that got us.So you would not want to see Panarin or Mika defend their teammates? No one complains when Crosby or Ovechkin sticks up for a teammates or themselves. You think their coaching staff tells them to skate away like they don’t care
Its a bullshit narrative that they will skate away like they dont care if there is something going on.
Cant argue that from the outside, doesnt seem like Panarin should wear a letter. We have no idea of the leadership he may provide off the ice and in other areas though. The whole 4 guys wearing the "A" is stupid anyway.Agree that they shouldn’t be fighting, but what has Panarin done to provide leadership as a Ranger? He shouldn’t have an A next year. Mika shouldn’t either but that’s more because he is already asked to do a crazy amount on the ice, it shouldn’t be his job to deal with off ice leadership as well. He’s not that player.
