We all know well that the New Year is a time of miracles. That’s just someone just waiting for them, and someone is trying to organize on their own. Artemy Panarin definitely belongs to the second group of people. On December 31, his Rangers played away with Edmont and with the active participation of Khlebushka, they were very close to one of the main hockey wonders of 2019. Not enough was a little.
New Year’s Eve for New York began with a nightmare. Not to say that the Oilers in the first half of the match were much cooler than the opponent, but the hosts really had a pearl. Everything flew at them and as a result, by the 36th minute, the scoreboard was burning with disastrous numbers for the guests – 6: 0. Not even Connor McDavid’s goals were needed; the hat trick of James Neal and the point efforts of other “oilmen” were enough.
Poor Alexander Georgiev was exchanged for Henrik Lundqvist only after the sixth goal and at that very moment the game turned 180 degrees and rushed in the opposite direction. Rescue “New York” threw the one who is entitled to the status and amount prescribed in the contract. Artemy Panarin began to justify the title of the most expensive Russian NHLman in the second period, when he drew a chic assistant for Chris Krider.
And really got down to business in the third twenty-minute, eventually making points poker. Here Artemy transfers the puck to Adam Fox, who, it turns out, also fumbles in cool assists.
Here he leads Mark Staal to an ideal position from an uncomfortable hand – the Canadian wisely uses super chances.
And here Panarin catches on the mistake of the Swede Adam Larsson and plants in the near nine. Do you still doubt that this guy from Korkino is a hockey genius?
Four minutes after Panarin’s goal, Mika Zibanejad made the Rangers lag minimal, but unfortunately the comeback of the year did not happen. “Edmonton” still endured a victory that, through the efforts of the Russian striker of New York, turned from a lightweight to a valid one. No miracle happened. Although … When a guy from a city of 40,000 in the Chelyabinsk region breaks the best league in the world like that and makes (in a personal duel) a favorite of all of Canada (it’s, of course, about McDavid), isn’t that cooler than any New Year’s miracles?
