I LOVE this video. There are many flashy, highly skilled NHL players. God bless 'em. But NOBODY has made back-checking & fore-checking as fun & interesting to watch as Barkov. After the Leafs beat the Panthers 6-4 (on 4/1/24), Elliotte Friedman argued Auston Matthews (a great player) had proven that he was a better, more valuable, all-around player than Barkov - an opinion that enraged me because it's NOT true. (Barkov plays the PK and PP; Matthews only plays the PP.) Barkov is THE man. (I also love Forsling's game, and complained bitterly when the Blackhawks retained Eric Gustofson instead of Gus.)
He is big, he is strong, he is skillful, he is fast, he is intelligent and before game he rigs all pucks with magnets and uses magnetic tape on his stick.
Barkov's game sense is insane
2:29 that's gotta be the best skate pass I've seen.
Sheesh what a clinic by Sasha.

He's so calm and steps ahead of every play
Barkov is so smooth. It seems he is NOT ever in a hurry. Somehow Barkov's second is 1,5 seconds to others. So calm, no hurry.
Smoothest player ever a true beauty
Barkov is like Zidane or Datsyuk, well ahead whats happening making every Panthers game entertaining even in a loss. What a great leader.

Take a good long look Oilers. This guy is waiting for you.
😂
@@Markymark-gg6qf keep it up.
@@Markymark-gg6qf done got phucking blanked by Barkov didn't ya, even after taking a cheap shot at him
@@schustererik83 say that again?
@Markymark-gg6qf in none broken language: looks like Barkov has your number, since your about to get swept outta the finals by him and the panthers
This doubles as a Shesterkin highlight video lmao
Who is Sasha gona wake up tonite,awesome
Must be slightly annoying opponent being everywhere at the same time.
Yeah. Draisaitl's 0 points might have weight a little on that jump.
