  1. As a Blackhawks fan, us signing him as an undrafted free agent is still one of the best decisions by our organization and one of my favorite pickups of all time. I was so sad when we traded him but then he decided to sign with my second favorite team in the Rangers and I'm so happy i get to root for the Breadman. Amazing vidb

  2. I don't want to be a boring, but correct is Kórkino, the emphasis is on the second letter.

  3. Artemi Panarin is an outstanding hockey player and I have the utmost respect for Artemi Panarin as a person as he’s one of the few Russian players willing to speak out against Putin, even doing so publicly in an interview while in Russia.

  4. The thing about hockey is no one man can win a cup. The ultimate team sport. So, the answer to you question is NO, Bread can not bring a Cup to NY the way the team is currently organized. To my long viewing of NYR, and discerning eye, this team has demonstrated how dysfunctional it is from ownership down to team level. I wish it weren’t so, but any objective person should conclude players are inadequate, development of young players is horrible, coaching and team prep for games is abysmally inconsistent,head coach had a nice first year, stars aligned, but his weaknesses are glaring this year. Where is our team D? Where did the PP go? So, no, Bread can’t do it for NY. I’d like him to stay, I love him most games, but for his own sake he should go to a viable contender.

  5. Most people don't know the Russian Mob was shaking him down for years, Putin was in on it too, ovi just kept paying but Panarin fought back and it ended in NY

  6. An outstanding and heartwarming story. A young man who fought adversity to be come one of the best hockey players in the world.

  7. No the Rangers suck and won't go to a stanley cup finals anytime soon or in his career. 😂

  8. lol stop. He wasn’t dirt poor. You can’t be dirt poor and play hockey unless he’s being fully sponsored. Even in Russia. How uneducated are you squirt.

  9. Great video, reminded me of Andris Džeriņš, a latvian national, also came from poverty, family had to sell a cow and still needed to make ends meet just so his son could play hockey. On pure enthusiasm of schoolteacher they made a outdoor rink and one of those kids went to go play for 10 or something world championships for Latvia and good career in KHL and Europe. Both touching stories, where grit and work just puts these people on the map!

  10. Hey Bread. really miss you in Columbus. would love to have you back. all Russian line with Marchy and Vronny. sounds pretty good. been following you from Chicago to present. love your game . hope you get your name on the cup . best of luck.

  11. Trading Panarin ended my 50 years of being a Blackhawk fan. One of the biggest bonehead trades in history ! Panarin and Kane had chemistry which allowed both to play at their greatest levels.

  12. DUMBEST TRADE OF ALL TIME! Panarin easily became one of my favorite players, future HOF. BREADMAN BREADMAN BREADMAN 🍞
