It's all G
The captain!
he is very humble
Its always fun when you win , so whats the point of this? Pump his tires I guess hey E
And now he can potentially be out of the series. What happened to protecting star players? Only applies to Edmonton’s ambiguously-pointless duo?
I hope he's ok after that elbow to the face :'(
Hes quite impressive most underrated in nhl
it's a pity that Sasha is not Russian, especially with our problem with the centers. 😢
Poetic they knocked him out. But whatever now we have a series I guess.
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.
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.
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.
That ended quick 😂
Dudes fine he was diving. Barely any contact on that hit.
He's best player in the world right now and he knows it.
Kucherov 0 Pastrnak 0 Panarin 1 McDavid 0
Давай братан! Тащи!
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.
seeing this video after that elbow by draisaitl hits different
👏🏻‼️
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.
He’s elite easily the best defensive forward now
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. 🏆
Thankfully barkov is fine. That elbow to the jaw stunned him a bit but he's ready for tonight
McDavid is the most skilled player in the world
Barkov is the best player in the world
PRAYING FOR YOU BARKY !!!
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.
Like Lauri Markkanen in NBA…?
