Watching McDavid Chase him makes me giddy “Best player and fanciest skater” got out hustled.

Barkov is a freaking legend.

I have all these confused feelings and emotions about the 4-nation contest because of this man. I’m American, perkele!

I remember reading about how last off-season he worked on his hand-eye coordination and puck-handling skills. And also his speed, which meant he reduced his size by a few pounds (I think less than 5 lbs). And holy shit, it paid off.

Poor guy is underappreciated/recognized across the league because of his team and quiet personality. The guy should be in every discussion when they are talking about the best players in the league. I think winning the cup will do that for him.

Should’ve gotten the Conn Smyth

I’ve got a clear bias in the sense that my adult life was mostly spent with Bergeron and I am a Finn. I also don’t particularly like making strict lists. But isn’t this a top 5 forward we are looking at?

My favorite is “juggling the puck with stick”- pass against Rangers.
