I have translated Panarin's interview to a Russian Youtube channel, where he rips Putin to shreds. It's absolutely magnificent. Nothing like this has ever been said by a Russian athlete, ever. Please, read this. The Breadman is an absolute monster.

People are asking what might happen to Panarin now. I honestly have no idea and nobody in Russia does either. This has never happened before. Putin could always count on jocks to have his back.
I am not sure even he knows how to proceed. Or if to proceed in any way.

For those interested, the interview was actually recorded a month ago, but Panarin is STILL in Russia. The kid is obviously fresh out of crap to give.
So, yes, Gotham, who needs Batman when you have Breadman.

The server crashed, but it's back up now

Also, I think that North America owes it to Panarin to make "Sell your skates!" the ultimate hockey chirp.

Another awesome moment in the Panarin interview: he reveals that he never took a single English lesson in America:
"I lied to (#CBJ and #Blackhawks). I told them I was learning English, while sitting home and playing Playstation"
He is taking lessons in Russia now.

"I speak "collective farm English." Once I get a drink, I know everything. But I don't drink during the season, so I can't talk to anyone."

Panarin's face when he says, "Vladimir Vladimirovich, sell your skates" is absolutely everything.
