Winner of the Gagarin Cup Alexei Tereshchenko says that New York Rangers and the striker of the Russian team Artemy Panarin deserves to win the Stanley Cup this season.
The Rangers became the first winners of the NHL regular season. Panarin was recognized as the club’s most valuable player this season according to journalists.
— Panarin spends every season at a high level. But let’s not forget that the regular season and the playoffs are completely different tournaments. I would like Artemy to do in the playoffs what he did in the regular season. I want Panarin and the Rangers to win the Stanley Cup, they deserve it.
I wouldn’t say that Artemy has reached a new level for himself. The team has strengthened and the partners have become of better quality. I can say with certainty that teammates are very important. Panarin has played at a very high level almost his entire career – even remember the period with Kane in Chicago. Understanding the game is very important – it will translate into results,” Tereshchenko told the Championship.
The Rangers’ opponent in the first round of the NHL playoffs will be determined later. The team last won the Stanley Cup in 1994.
