By Marc Penner
Take Note All, the New York Rangers Artemi Panarin is having a Career Year in 2023-2024. The Breadman is leading the Rangers with 94 Points, just 2 points shy of his career best, 96 points back in 2021-22. He is leading NYR in Goals Scored 38, another Career Best. Panarin is also leading the Rangers with 56 Assists. He saved the day with 4 Game Winning Goals to date.
Panarin is ranked 5th overall in the NHL for Points, with Pasternak-Bruins -99 pts, McDavid-Oilers-108 pts, Mackinnon-Avs-117 pts and Kucherov-TB-118 pts in front of him. NYR #10 has been such an impact player for the Blueshirts this season, that voters must consider him, when thinking about this years Regular Season MVP.

My View from the Cheap Seats
Section: TV Row: PVR Seat: The Couch
The New York Rangers success has been 100% because of a total team effort, however Panarin has been the engine driving the Rangers all season. The light shines just a little brighter, when NYR #10 steps on the ice.
Panarin comes as advertised. He is a Star and scoring 17% of the New York Ranger Goals so far, proves it. Only Pasternak - Boston, scores a higher percentage of his teams goals, with 19% so far. We need Panarin's hard work and determination, to keep this Big Apple Train moving forward, well into June.
Remember Hockey is a game of Snipes ‘n Celly’s.
