Artemi Panarin is in the midst of another incredible season in New York, and now he's opened up on former coach Gerard Gallant.

2022-23 was a great season for the New York Rangers, but for whatever reason things fell apart in the playoffs, with former Head Coach Gerard Gallant released quickly after their failure. However, that may not have been the only contributing factor, as NY Post's Larry Brooks has revealed the dressing down that Gallant gave superstar forward Artemi Panarin in the locker room after their round one loss to New Jersey.

But there was last spring in which Panarin looked lost against the Devils, and there were two springs ago through which Panarin was inconsistent and too often unreliable in the run to the 2022 conference finals, during which the Lightning smothered him.
Panarin has been resolute in refusing to discuss last year's playoffs, in which a tenuous relationship with head coach Gerard Gallant deteriorated. We've been told that the winger was aired out by the coach in front of the team in an incident that did not go over well with anyone. Panarin has also said that he does not want to talk about what's coming up next week.

Panrin has remained steadfast in the fact that he won't address the situation that potentially led to Gallant's firing in New York, but his play on the ice this season has certainly shown that he's ready to prove everyone wrong in the playoffs.



Gallant was a solid coach for much of his time in New York, but towards the end things seemingly spiraled, and with the team now thriving under new leadership, it's safe to say that it was the right move for the Rangers.
