By that logic, how does Alexi Protas in the same game get the most open I have ever seen a player and scores when he is on the capitals?

wannabe malkin

great breakdown!

Fantastic video - I have a son in 10u/u11 and videos like this are really wonderful. Short concise and impactful.

My favorite thing about Barkov is when they drafted him, Cherry was all up in arms and questioning why they would get a Finnish player over Johnathan Drouin! Other countries have great players! Plus Barkov is 100Xs better than Drouin

Barkov is the best forward in hockey. If he was in the role of scoring more, he would be a 40+ goal scorer a season. He is filling the role thats currently needed.

More videos please~~~

Definition of complete

Bark was for long while underrated and it it true, he honed his game from year to year. Hockey IQ is high as it gets and way he sees the ice is off the charts.

Kucherov, pasta, Panarin/Zibanejad, McDavid/Draisaitl I mean what more is there to say?? It only took winning the cup but been waiting for about 7 yrs for ppls to realize how good he is

🤘🤘

Love the video could you do one for Kucherov play making

Awesome video. I played goalie for years and want to start playing forward and realize that outside of the basics of skating, passing, shooting and positioning, I know very little of the small little details that you learn from coaching/experience of how to be a good forward. These videos are invaluable. Thank you!

Dude is the definition of a leader

Could you make a new video about Barkov showing clips from the finals where he shuts down key players of Edmonton and makes other incredible plays? Great video btw!

now that Toews is retired, Barkov is the "Captain Serious"

McDavid has already been chosen for the Conn Smythe. 😂 The entire Florida team can’t stop him… 😂

🎉🎉🎉 Best player…. 😂😂😂😂 So funny….

Best foward? Lol. Great player but come on.

the best defensive forward*

He's still underated, even with the borderlinbe unanimous Selke, it's just the amount good things that come their way because of decision and actions that he does is just borderline magic. He's not as flashy as some, but modern play is so much more about the aspects of his play mentioned in this video!

Bad title but sure

Imagine line-up with Barkov as center, McDavid and MacKinnon on wings without the need to defend, Josi and Fox on defense and Shesterkin at goal.

I appreciate your enthusiasm for detailed breakdown of Barkov, but those little black dots look like i have something on my screen!

Delusional ah

He's a good player sure but the best? Not even close. McD over him x100. He did squat in tonight's game.

I disagree.. I think he's a good forward.. But if you think he's the best forward when McDavid, McKinnon, Kane, and Bedard exists, then you must be a Panthers fan lol. I might put him in top 20.. maybe.. if that. His teammate Carter Verhaeghe is better. Both regular season and playoffs.

And he lost today 1:8 McD and Drai make him looking like a cheating child!!! Now get feared foolish sunny boys, only three wins left...🎉😂😂😂

If number 24 of New York Rangers would have been just a little bit smarter and made the pass not directly but of the left board it could have been 2 on 1 with Barkov being left well behind. Not very smart play to be honest. Definitely not the play I would be showing anyone as an example of his greatness... He just got lucky here NY player didn't think quick enough but it's not because Barkovs play made him to do that.

A player that can shut down the best is better than them. He's surely the most complete player, and an exemplary leader. My 2 watts.

He is an ultimate team player. And such a nice human being. I wonder what would happen if he ever loses his mind on ice...

Florida is just stacked with cheap contracts (which is ending this year) and a goalie putting up a .980 in the finals. Barkov is good, but there’s other factors here.

Looks solid. That’s our captain baby. One more to have him immortalized

Great vid, bro!

Barkov is very good, but give your head a shake. You don't know shiet about hockey.

Good analysis thanks. Verhaeghe is 23 not 22 btw

McDiver and crysaitl are the two most protected players in league history now getting exposed for hiw useless they are when the games count

Barkov's game is the result of having always truly put his team first.

Barkov is a great player, but isnt the best in hockey. I think mcdavid is better but the teams they play for are vastly different and this changes how we view them. FLA is made for the playoffs, and the team plays well around barkov, the Edmonton team structure reminds me of a team like the leafs. Great high end talent, average goaltending and an ok defense. If you go up against FLA with that mix your going to get ripped up. Though to note i think Barkov is better defensively than McDavid. Overall talent goes to MCD, which isnt a slight against barkov, hes still one of the best.

barky is the goat

Notice how Mc highstick was captain pretty much immediately, you usually have to earn that

Thanks, awesome video! Great showcase about good skating and keeping the momentum for him but also the whole team. Outstanding playing. :-)

He's also the reason why the rangers are watching from home.

Conn Smythe

Hes great. But best. No.

Barkov, Bennett, Okposo play really good defense. Plus Forsling?? Against a team with no depth scoring?? Easy pickings

Barkov deserves the conn smythe. bob is such a normie pick

There's a lot more to being successful in the playoffs than on ice skill. McDavid and Drai have a loser mentality and tilt extremely easy. McDavid has never comeback from an 0-2 series deficit. Then of course everyone knows Matthews and the Leafs have no heart. You gotta really have your head straight to make it through the guantlet. That's exactly what makes Barkov so dangerous on top of his technical skill.

You’ve got to be joking

Thanks for the vid! Finally someone really digging in to Barky's greatness, which doesn't always show up on the stat-sheet. His ability to seamlessly turn his momentum form offence to defence is what really sets him apart. His imprint is all over the rink. Breakaways are far and apart against the Panthers, and when he is on the ice, they usually just don't happen. Or 2-to-1s and 3-to-2s. He certainly has the skills to be a 100+ pts/season scorer, but he never, ever "cheats" on the expence of good d. And the whole team truly has bought into that.
