Panarin Goes Bald To Get Rid Of Any Negative Energy

Recently, New York Rangers star Artemi Panarin grabbed attention with a photo showing his shaved head.

The reason behind this unusual change is linked to a desire to reset his career after the team's early playoff exit. Panarin's friend explained that the drastic image change aims to remove any negative forces associated with his hair and symbolize a fresh start in the pursuit of the Stanley Cup.

While Panarin isn't the only player to adopt this ritual, it's intriguing how hair-cutting can signify a new phase in their careers.

Perhaps the belief is that the mystical powers residing in the hair impacted the Rangers' playoff performance. If the Rangers succeed next season, we might witness a league-wide trend of hair-cutting as a means to ward off bad luck.
