My girlfriend and I’s goal was to get a puck during this 4 game road trip and mine specifically was to get my jersey signed. I’m first generation American but speak/read/write russian fluently and I made a sign in Russian asking for Panarin to sign my jersey and at the Seattle game he pointed at my sign and chuckled like he thought it was cool that I wrote it in Russian, but unfortunately we couldn’t get much because that arena only let us stay where the glass was netted. The next game in vancouver we had a good spot during warmups where there was no netting, got another chuckle out of Panarin and he shrugged as if there wasn’t much I can do. Then I brainstormed another sign idea with my mom over the phone and made one that just said puck!!!? Which she said in russia people would scream that for a player to score but also translate to an actual puck. So today in calgary got another prime spot, locked eyes with Panarin, he recognized me again and brought us a puck right away. We are so so happy even though today was a loss. We’re excited for casino night and wanna see if he recognises us!

Last picture is us looking miserable on the MSG broadcast a minute before the rangers scored both goals.

  1. I was at all 3 games and going to Edmonton. Never did this before (4 games in 7 days) and it’s been a blast. Definitely will do it again. Maybe Kings, Ducks, Sharks in March.
