Barkov cruising to his second Selke?

[FinlandPanther]

Just shut down Matthews and his nice little goal scoring streak. Is Barkov now the best defensive forward in the league?

[The Crypto Guy]

Yes, because he shut down Matthews tonight.

 

[OilWagon]

He's the favorite for sure

 

[ScottyMascotty]

Should take Selke easily.

 

[BabyBennettov]

Second Selke in the pocket after that last masterful performance tonight…

Two assists, shutting down the best goal-scorer in the league and driving his team to an Atlantic division win !

Pretty special season from the big man as always…

Great great showing/shadowing tonight by the best defensive centerman in the game right now.

Give him HIS trophy.

I haven't really heard anyone else's name pop up when talking selke winner. Who else is in contention?

I don't think Barkov has caught up to Bonino in blocked shots.

Holy shit lol.

I mean, those stats are still largely a team effort even if they are our best players, but impressive nonetheless.

 

[Frosty415]

Deserves it

 

[Ol' Jase]

That’s just mind boggling.

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

Easy Selke winner. No one else is close.

I think I heard about a guy whose first name is Samson… Don’t have a clue about him though.

Similar to prime Bergeron + Chara.

 

[hirawl]

No contest really.

And this was just the first few months of the season.

Even as a Panthers fan, it can be easy to miss some of the more subtle things he does unless it's shown on the replay.

Which is why I love videos like this. The Hockey PDOCast and Hockey Truffles are the best hockey content when it comes to in depth player highlights.

Barkov was a player Leo Carlsson was compared to for his potential, man I hope he can get up there on that level. Love Barkov.

Exactly. He is incredible night in night out.

Loved this video and I've been waiting to post it for a long time, lol.

Got no problem with Barkov getting the Selke but Matthews dominated last night and had glorious chances all night......

What is DZ%?

Mmmmmm… He had one at the side of the net where he could have scored.

Don’t really remember him at 5-on-5 because Barkov was in the offensive-zone all night, with AM in his pocket imo.

And it’s certainly because of those kind of performances each and every night that Barkov is going to get his trophy.
