Panarin issues statement towards Bobrovsky ahead of game 1

Analysts are buzzing, predicting that this series could be the pinnacle of excitement for hockey fans this season, stating it will 'be the best hockey fans have witnessed throughout the 2024 NHL playoffs.'
Artemi Panarin, a key player for the Rangers, heightened the pre-game tension with a heartfelt tribute to his counterpart on the Panthers, goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. The two share a deep bond rooted in their time as teammates with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Panarin's public admiration for Bobrovsky goes beyond mere sportsmanship.
He's my best friend in hockey. First of all, he's an unbelievable guy, a great human. We can talk about everything all day and we can say anything to each other. Some people you're just like, 'Hey,' and you have two things you can talk about, but with him we can talk about good things, not good things, and it doesn't matter. It's a very honest relationship, I would say.

This statement, which comes as a heartfelt endorsement of their friendship and professional respect, sets a tone of camaraderie and fierce competition for the upcoming games. Both Panarin and Bobrovsky have been instrumental in their respective teams' journeys to the third round, showcasing incredible performances that have captivated fans and analysts alike.
