The shot itself looks really damn hard to me. Maybe if there's no goalie there... but dat angle. Then you add in the other 2 guys trying to stop him. Hubba hubba wubba lubba.

I mean it's just a really quick backhand to forehand with a super quick release. And as far as the angle, when I was young I played goalie growing up and one of the first things you learn is to play the puck and not the body, so by pulling it from his backhand to his forward and quickly getting the shot off it left Grubauer absolutely no time to react or adjust. I'm not trying to say the shot was easy, but just because you can't see a hole from your angle, doesn't mean it's not there. The puck on your stick sees a completely different angle, so try to think as if you could see from the pucks POV.

Well I mean yeah, it was a combination of quick hands and quick feet. He practices a lot of stick handling and I'm sure he does a lot of agility and skating drills, but I'm not sure exactly how you would practice that particular move. I think it was just a culmination of years and years of stick handling and skating drills.

The move and the shot aren't difficult by themselves. It's doing it at full speed with two guys draped all over him that makes it special.

I mean playing at wing there 2 optons were you can move puck - to center or cut around defender. Sure that was sick fast shoot but it is result of his skill and trainings and that was planned before because he know how s that works for himself and his skills. You just cant play at wing not training basic moves and thatis basic for russian LW - cut around and wrister but success is based on skill level for sure

 

[geoo9]

sometimes it is looked like curved wrister ))

But it does take a very advanced skill to ignore what your eyes see as the opportunity and know there is a very small opening there that can't be seen.

Like I've said in previous post, hockey is a game of reflexes, if you have to think about what you're going to do, it's too late.

That's the difference between the McDs, Panarins, Kane's and the Calverts, Sedlaks, etc of the league. They don't need to think the game, they just react and they've trained their reactions to an elite level. You mix that with a high hockey iq(ability to read the game) and that play is the result.

Sure Calvert might get a spinorama beaut every now and then, but to do what Panarin does on a game to game basis takes something special. Some guys could train harder than they ever have and still not be close to his abilities. Some guys just have "it".

 

[EDM]

I stand by what I said. He is a generational talent but at wing rather than at center.

 

[geoo9]

man that kid is unreal. He realizes that he have superman inside him and guys around him begins to beleive that. Team and Even the mr Tortorella have cellys like Panarin - shot on point
This my favourite celly-superman celebration after detroit game.




There is Huge Real Big Man inside that little Guy

 

[Anisimovs AK]

That's what I love about hockey. I'm sure he's never tried or done that move before. He just saw a opening and reacted. That's one thing I've learned from playing 20 years, if you have to think about what you're doing, you took to long.

I'll be sure to try that move sometime at the rink though, I'm the kind of guy who will miss the wide open net but bury the hardest of shots I have no business finishing

Theres like 3 separate moves to practice to even be able to get that shot off like he did, so this might take awhile.

Hes done it numerous times in his career. He has played professionally for almost a decade now, lets remember that

Ovechkin is a generational winger. Then I think it stops, even Kane in his prime (alongside Panarin) wasn’t called generational.

He’s borderline superstar though. It’s the best trade Jackets ever done.

Semantics.

He's definitely a "superstar" when it comes to actual skill and "impact" on the ice.

Maybe not "Western" and/or "NHL related perception", quite yet.

 

[thebus88]

Also somewhat related and to "pile on" a bit...

As someone who was born, raised and lives in MI, 1 of the main/only reasons (besides Nash, and the Redwings becoming the "Yankees" of NHL) I became a fan of the CBJ is because of Nikolai Zherdev. Having Panarin in Columbus and watching him regularly makes me think of Zherdev quite a bit. Dude was an extremely talented player and showed glimpses of "special" at times, even late into his time on the CBJ. Wonder what he coulda been.... Oh well, here we are now with Panarin/Jones and others, and a LEGIT GOOD TEAM.

But, for some of you, you could blame MacLean, among other things, for me being "here".

There can be many superstars, but there's only a few generational players in the league in any decade. Crosby and Ovi are really the only true, proven generational players in the league. They solidified their places in the HOF years ago.

You have came unto the lines of the Leading One as he criticized the false perception of the highest as the NHL by using Ovetshkin as an example who most often has not been the king of the field in World Championships, Olympics and World Cup where playbooks tend to be more refined.

 

[geoo9]

Panarin is Leader. His main skill - that is makes team better sharing them his will, mentality and just different response to the game. He just never even think about to give up and team responds him. In that case i think better have Panarin than a lot of other "superstars" who would think only about personal stats.

 

[Panic at the Back]

Just wanted to say that I hope y'all beat the Caps.

Panarin is a joy to watch.

Good luck!

 

[Old Guy]

I caught myself thinking back to the ending of Game #1.

Grubauer shouldn't feel so bad. The dog couldn't stop him either.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Just wanted to say that I hope y'all beat the Caps.

Good luck!

''In Chicago, I played with Kane and got a lot of assists from him,'' Panarin said. ''But I always wanted something more, to put more of the game on myself and be more accountable for the result. Here, I got that, what I wanted.'' ........

''When they first traded me, of course for a couple days, I worried,'' he said. ''But then I calmed down and understood that this is all good for me. I understood that here I would progress as a player first and foremost. What's most important to me isn't money, but the whole game.''

Panarin coming up big for Blue Jackets

[EspenK]

Only criticism I have of him is that sometimes he tries to do too much. Although that is probably due to no one being in position to take advantage of his passing skills.

 

[GoJackets1]

Artemi is a filthy, filthy man.

in that case he reminds me his little dog. Both tries to do much more

But Panerin is a real hockey player. He creates and scores but acutely does much more, the dirty work that Zherdev seldom ever did.

but

I'd agree.. Although, I tend to let him slide with the "trying to do too much", as his skill allows him to get away with it in all 3 zones as compared to other players... But, I believe there were a couple plays on Thursday night, where it kind of backfired on him. Seth Jones defending a 3 on 1 by himself was one example.

Although, I tend to not get as upset at players like Seth Jones, Panarin, or Cam Atkinson as others in the stadium typically do for their oddball mistake, since they are typically so reliable.

 

[geoo9]

Man if they loose to WSH i wouldnt suprise that AP will leave. IF he didnt need money (like rumors said) you should give him real SC chances but nobody would see them here.
