Hard to not see that his strong play drives this team.
People made comparisons with Kopitar? He's going to be better by a long shot.
Seriously stop with the Kopitar and Thornton comparisons.
Thornton is one of the best passers of all time and Kopitar scored 61 and 77 his first and second seasons in the league.
Difficult to compare, at the same age Kopitar entered in the league Barkov has several seasons already played as a 1st C
Yep,and still not reached 40 points in a season...
He's special and he's dominant.
Those are the only two words I can use to describe him.
It basically comes down to that. Who cares if he's Thornton or Kopitar. He's his own player and he dominates. Let him make his own legacy hopefully with a ring around his finger.
but, but... I want a Kopitar-clone/v2.0 with gift wrappers.
The back-check in OT
He's special and he's dominant.
Those are the only two words I can use to describe him.
The best part was Pierre Maguire saying we made a huge mistake not taking Jones. Of course he also said Vancouver won the Luongo/Markstrom trade.
I was yelling for that like it was a goal.
