Artemi Panarin Hits 120PTS (Passes Ovechkin & Malkin Career Highs, Ties Crosby)

[hamzarocks]

Let's see how many points he'll score in the playoffs...

Him and Marner got the most to prove

Both have had elite reg seasons and both havent done enough come playoff time

Panarin has a chance the shed the cjoker label. Needs a big playoffs. Hes capable. Not much worse as a player than Kucherov since he joined the Rangers in the regular season

 

[UnSandvich]

Fun fact: With his 2 goals tonight, Alexis Lafreniere has 69 career goals to go with his 69 career assists (and somehow Panarin didn't get credited with a point on either when he really should've).

This has been "Fun Numbers Facts with Sandvich"(tm)

One of the greatest players to ever play for the Rangers which is saying a lot. But he has to do it in the playoffs. There are stretches where he looks like the best player in the world and can create offense at will and other games where he disappears. If he wanted to and dedicated himself to it he would win a Hart trophy. He has the skill for it but not always the heart.

I actually think Panarin has about a big a heart as you’ll find in the NHL. He has overcome ridiculous obstacles to make it to the NHL and has an unwavering work ethic.

When a player plays below his standards everyone blames heart on it. But somehow it didn't take heart to have a career year after last year's down year.

I was gonna say, he has the skill and absolutely has the heart. What’s missing? I don’t know, but hopefully he finds it this time around.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

One of our three franchise players

 

[Grifter3511]

he was lazy last year and refused to shoot. also carried the puck into the zone, stopped, threw it cross ice all the time. this year hes shooting a lot more and has been much more tenacious.

This. A completely different player this year. I can appreciate why he won't, but he should seriously garner some Hart consideration.

 

[Dr Salt]

He had 95 in 69 games in 2019-20, Covid robbed him (and others) of their first 100 pointer

I do think Nathan MacKinnon's first was supposed to be coming that year too? I remember that hart race was contentious online and many wanted Panarin beating Drai for the trophy.

 

[LordBacon]

Wait he never hit 100pts before?

 

[Tofveve]

Congratulations, huge accomplishment!

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Congrats Panarin and NYR. it's nice to have nice things

 

[Tawnos]

Wait he never hit 100pts before?

Only due to shortened seasons and one year because of missing some time with short term injury. He had 95 points in 69 games (113 pts over 82 games) when the Covid shutdown happened. He had 58 points in 42 games (113 per 82) in the shortened season. He had 96 in 75 games (105 per 82) the next season.

This season's Panarin is as tenacious as he was in those first two years (pre-Wilson incident), but he's also shooting a lot more. That's why he's also gotten over 40 goals for the first time in his career while never having even paced that in previous seasons.

Thanks for the info bro.
Nice bass ya got there.

 

[maddskkilz]

Fascinated with Panarin’s career arc.

Over the last 6 seasons, he is averaging 103 points per 82 games. So glad he finally hit the 100 point mark. I would have him behind Mackinnon for the Hart this year but it’s remarkable what he’s done compared to the other scoring leaders and their respective supporting casts.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Last year sure 2 in 7 was bad.
He's gotten 16 in 20 and 11 in 10 before.
Those aren't bad.

Congrats to Panarin. 11.6 million contract looking real good every year.

Edit: The first Part is regarding his playoff resume and people saying he is a playoff choker.

Yup. Recency bias at play.

And he NEVER quits.....an admirable quality

 

[Machinehead]

Product of Lafreniere

 

[QJL]

Amazing season for Panarin finishing with 49-71-120. One of the most underrated players of his generation.

I think he's a clear 4th for the Hart and is closer than people think to being on the ballot.

Excited to see what he does in the playoffs.

 

[Beukeboom]

Didn't think I'd see a season again in a long long time, where a 120 point campaign is pretty anonymous...

Edit: not as in "not impressive", but as in "we have three guys around 130-140 and a potential 70 goal scorer" stealing the limelight.

 

[Outl4w]

Man on a mission and deserving of a top 5 spot in the Hart voting. His goal scoring and consistency this season have been outstanding. Amazing to watch how good he has played knowing there are 3 players who are so far in front of him in the scoring race. There have been some sensational individual performances this year across the league.

Kucherov,mack,mcdavid,matthews , and him at 5? Figured Hughes be there over him. Good year by the bread-and-butter, but he isn't even the best Russian winger.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

120. nice round number. 49 goals.

 

[TGWL]

He tried to get 50 last night. 49 is still a great number.

Nice

In the perfect world he should be a front runner with Kuch for the Hart. “The Hart Memorial Trophy, originally known as the Hart Trophy, is an annual award for the most valuable player to his team in the National Hockey League (NHL)”. It’s not for the best player in the league.

So Oilers is still a playoff team without McDavid, they have Draisaitl.

Colorado is still a playoff team without MacKinnon (Makar, Rantanen).

Toronto is still a playoff team without Matthews (Marner, Nylander, Tavares).

And then we have Kuch with 142 pts, 53 more than next teammate and TB would miss this year playoffs without him.

And Panarin 120 pts, 43 more than next teammate on President Trophy winning team.

So Hart ranking in the perfect world should be

1-2 Kuch&Panarin
3 MacKinnon
4 McDavid
5 Matthews
