So happy Barkov is finally getting his just due. Been one of the best/most complete hockey players in the world for a few years now…nice to see the national media honoring him as such. 2 more, Sasha. 🏆
Last year all the talk was about how Florida Panthers looked like Tkachuks team. This year they look like Barkovs team and that's why they will lift the Cup.
This video needs more likes. Barkov is an exemplary leader on the ice. He sets an example on how to be a great two-way player. Humble... but hungry to win. The type of player you would happily go to war alongside with any day.
The man who put those bums McDavid & Draisatl in witness protection…The Real best player in hockey, best captain in the world. Hopefully he gets healthy enough, this is supposed to be his moment.
Maybe the most complete player but hes not as skilled as McDavid or Draisatl maybe, but takes a team to win the cup not just 2 players im not a Edmonton fan btw
@@yoooei5792 Those 2 great players have combined for 1 point in this series so far, even though they were both lighting it up on former rounds. Think that has anything to do with playing against shutdown guys like Barkov. But you are right Florida is the better team but real hockey fans know why you would rather have Barkov than McDavid in SC finals
@@yoooei5792draisaitel is isnt close to beeing the most skilled either man there are guys like kucherov pasta matthews panarin crosby makar mckinnon are all more skilled. Barkov isnt far from draisaitl skill wise. Look at his highlight reel
@@yoooei5792 I get your point. That being said, the best players are the best players in the biggest moments. At this moment, Barkov is the best player. Don't forget, the goal is to win. Some guys are more skilled than others, yes, but what really matters is how players keep their level of play in the biggest moments.
NO one on that team deserved the success of this season more than him. He's so beloved down here. I can't tell you the amount of photos there are floating around of him on a vespa putt putting to brunch on a sunday morning in Boca. People shouting at him in his car.
I've always recognized Barkov as the Panthers best player on the team and second best in the world. Second overall draft pick behind MacKinnon btw. Do the refs not realize how much of a star he is? Refs don't protect him like a superstar talent, i.e. Connor. And fans don't notice his status because he passes the puck. It's only the other players who "try to" play against him who realize he's TBE.
@@PoipoleMujigae As far as I know, the federation did not play him in the Russian national teams at the right time. This is a federation blunder. Barkov Sr. works in Russia.
@@PoipoleMujigae That's kind of an understatement as he lived his whole life in Finland before moving to America. And really glad he is Finnish so you can actually see him in international competition.
I hope he's ok after that elbow to the face :'(
Thank god he is as he’s currently having a hell of a game after 2 period in Edmonton. 1 goal and that 1st goal doesn’t happen without his 2 way play
he is very humble

That was beautiful! Tkachuk is badass
Never was but there not a one key player team there very well balanced it’s what makes them hard to play against

May be one of the top players in the world. I hope his injury is not very bad and he can come back at some point of the series.
McDavid is the most skilled player in the world
Barkov is the best player in the world
McDavid lacks quite many skills Barkov has. But Mc does more points in regular season.
Hes quite impressive most underrated in nhl
The captain!
Draisaitl's a scumbag for that hit, (and let's face it, for others), coming from someone who hates the Panthers. Sasha is a beaut! Terrible hit.
And now he can potentially be out of the series. What happened to protecting star players? Only applies to Edmonton’s ambiguously-pointless duo?

He's best player in the world right now and he knows it.
Not sure if he knows it, but he is (the best player in the world).
seeing this video after that elbow by draisaitl hits different
He’s elite easily the best defensive forward now
I'm 69 soon and seen a lot of hockey players.Barkov is right up there with Orr and Gretzky and Lemieux,Marchand and other greats .

Kucherov 0 Pastrnak 0 Panarin 1 McDavid 0
Straight up turning superstars into traffic cones
Straight up turning superstars into traffic cones. And that Panarin goal was only scored after the series was pretty much over
PRAYING FOR YOU BARKY !!!
Total complete player - not many guys like him
Thankfully barkov is fine. That elbow to the jaw stunned him a bit but he's ready for tonight
It's all G
👏🏻‼️
The Florida Panthers are built on the principle of the wrecking crew.
Like Lauri Markkanen in NBA...?
That ended quick 😂
Давай братан! Тащи!
Poetic they knocked him out. But whatever now we have a series I guess.
🧹
it's a pity that Sasha is not Russian, especially with our problem with the centers. 😢
He is actually Russian; he just happened to be born in Finland and is able to speak both languages.
Im so glad he is not one of the modern day nazis (ruskies), but 100 % Finn
@@SanteriNieminen It's sad that you all think that all Russians are the same. You are no less a Nazi with that mindset.

Its always fun when you win , so whats the point of this? Pump his tires I guess hey E
Dudes fine he was diving. Barely any contact on that hit.
this post is how to show your lowIQ without showing it
Was that your first time watching a game? Are you new to the only REAL sport,!? 🙄
Just a salty kid don't mind him 🙂@@mrp2561
Leon left his feet to make the hit.
