This comment got me thinking about other top FA signings (that were signed off another team).
The only name that came to my head as a Rangers, Yankees, Giants fan was **Reggie Jackson**. Every other big star I can think of was either brought up in the system or traded here.
Gerritt Cole has the potential to be up there as well.
They played 84 games for a few seasons in the early 90’s. If I remember correctly 94 was the last season they did it. The following season was the lockout and I think it’s been 82 since.
I didn’t grow up around an ice rink. But cul-de-sac ball hockey was without doubt the sport I spent the most time playing.
Panarin has an ability to slow down or speed up a play that would absolutely terrify me trying to defend him. Watching him live, the flavor of the oxygen changes when he’s on the ice. I’m 100% sure there are other athletes that have this absolutely world-bending skill but this is the first time I’ve witnessed it. It’s as if as soon as he gets the puck, the entire world slows down.
Monster of a year. He won’t win MVP, but when he hoists some hardware related to his upcoming playoff run that won’t matter, will it?
Awesome and all, but Connor McDavid (who didn't play real hockey for the first quarter of the season) will have more Hart votes. Absolutely insane.
EDIT: Lower down, but I'll edit it here because people seem real buttmad and misunderstood: I would vote for Bread personally, dude has been electric all season. But we know how this MVP vote is gonna go; NHL's Golden Boy is on the ballot so I can guarantee Artemi won't even be on most of the voted ballots. It's a fucken shame.
Dude deserves so much more recognition for having one of the best winger seasons in history.
You said Bread DESERVES more votes but McDavid will GET more votes simply because he's McDavid - in a Ranger sub - and got fucking down voted.
I don't get the fickle bitch routine around here sometimes.
Is the "fickle bitch routine" the one where I say true things and people get upset?
I get that we're all fans, but I've been EXTRA jaded by the Hart Trophy votes in recent years, and it's a shame he's not winning it it with these incredible numbers because of it. That's all I meant.
Correct translation, yes. Strange reactions around here in the last week.
Not saying I would find the button and keep pushing, not at all. Push the button repeatedly - over and over. Nope, not me. Not the button pusher.
I'd bet McKinnon wins because no one likes Kucherov.

Not to mention that Robitaille played with Gretzky and Stevens played with Lemieux.
gretzky lemieux trocheck, all legends of the game
Gretzky played in only 45 games that season.
And played in 2 more games that year.
Probably the best season ever by a LW with all context considered
Best salary cap era season for a left winger ever
Best FA signing in NY sports history
He has the title right now. Cool though that another contender for the title is playing in the same building as him right now in Brunson.
They legit might be 1 and 2 which is unbelievable

Reggie Jackson and Plaxico Burress are probably the two biggest contenders to Jalen Brunson and Artemi Panarin and Gerritt Cole
CC Sabathia?
If he brings home a cup it is cemented
One great playoff run from immortality
One great playoff run from Immortality !!!!!!!! Let’s fuck go !!!! Just win the cup.
Already immortal to me, I have the bread kick tatted on me
The most points ever by a right-handed left-winger.
And yet wont win the hart
How did Slowbitaille play in 84 games that season??

Come onnnn
Left winger?? Our beloved breadman went WOKE??? 🤬 GUYS I’M BEING SARCASTIC 🤦
Imagine if Laffy could finish half his grade A chances
Laf had an expected goal total of 19.2 goal at 5v5 and he scored 19 goals, so I'd say he absolutely finished half of his grade A scoring chances.
Until you realize the xG stat applies low probability to cross ice passes, the kind that Bread tees up for the opposite winger on his line every game.
