I might be a die hard Rangers fan, but I could watch Barzal skate until hell freezes over, his edgework and puck control is just so fun to watch. He's gonna be dangerous af once the Isles find their goalscoring.
Hockey scouts can characterise a prospect by how long he can skate with the puck in a game before passing, getting checked, shooting, or coughing it up to the opponent. Typically they talk about one-, three- or five-second guys.
When the Oilers took Griffin Reinhart for the 16th overall pick that became Barzal I was thrilled. I never imagined he'd be this good but I knew the oilers got hosed there and Griffin wasn't good. I was surprised barzal was still on the board with what he did in the WHL
He has Jagr like puck control. There's not many people ever that can end up with 4 NHL players surrounding him with the puck and not turn it over. The way he can circle back by the blue line is amazing stick handling and skating.
When I think of Barzal, I think of a good skater that tries to be too flashy and to too much useless stuff on the ice... that's why he doesn't get goals or many assists skating as good as he does... always trying to make 1 extra flashy play
You see when barzal went around mcdavid, butch was like “no respect there right?”
One of the best players in the world. Only a few players can bring a puck to the offensive zone like he does, Kaner is another.
such a great skater and decision maker

You mean when he gets the hell outta that shithole of a “defense only” team.
This guy is exactly what everybody wants to be when they grow up
Great player. Will be a force for many years.
Its a thing of beauty to watch him skate, and he loves to curl and generate speed. Definitely a seven second guy.
Gerhard Symons what does seven second guy mean?

Gerhard Symons cool thanks
Guy is so fast and smooth, I'd love to see him with a little more confidence to dance through guys, cause he'd draw a ton of penalties at worst.
Effortless.. thanks for putting this together
Nice work compiling these clips. He’s so much fun to watch. JT and MB make a great 1st / 2nd line center duo. Just need to fix the blue line issues.
Matthews and JT make an even better 1st/2nd line center duo!!!
Fun Times oof didn’t work out for you did it
And to think Edmonton could've had Barzal too. Such a shame

The Rangers Suck logo had me rolling
I could watch that guy all day, allready one the best skater on the league
Check out Bracco in the leafs development, best edgework I've seen since Crosby
Wow , what a great Skater
Great edge control

3:36 - Rust is like "screw it: I don't have the wheels to keep pursuing this guy."
Mossi_Music lmao but he does, it was the end of his shift too
Thanks for the vid. Great work. Clips you don't see everyday.
I'm expecting a big year from him next season
Skates like Crosby, McDavid, and Larkin
Best rookie since Pat Lafontaine
Connor McDavid*

Talk to me when you win a playoff series
Islanders won 1 single playoff series in the past what? 23 years? Rangers have been dominant for the better part of this past decade.
1:28 Jesus

Poor guy. He's going to waste his career here like Tavares.
Jordan Staal lmao they will get defense and a goalie in no time
Auston Matthews Lmfao go Leafs
He is the right handed mcdavid
Rangers suck 😆
