Barkov finally became a playoffs performer, leader for the Panthers

I see quite a bit of Barkov in there tbh.

We don't need you to share your research with us. You obviously have a lot of catching up to do.

Barkov and Huby were not on same lines. Sure, they played power plays together.

"Panthers were fleeced" was the dominant narrative after the trade. Whatever you think about the trade doesn't change that or matter.

3 points in 6 games
4 points in 4 games
6 points in 6 games
7 points in 6 games
16 points in 21 games

and now already 12 points in first 8 games
2nd in playoffs points, MTkachuk leads with 13

he has upped his overall game as well, not just points
good job Barky!

he is my Panthers Conn Smyth candidate

So he’s just a product of Tkachuk?

Kidding, of course, he really is a great player… he has been for a long time… they have finally built a very strong team around him. You can, kind of, thank the Flames for that.

That's funny, would think most people would be on the same page that trading an aging stud exiting his prime for a young new stud entering his prime is a good move regardless of the situation.

The consensus here was that Tkatchuk ISN'T a stud and that Panthers gave away also weegar, pick and a prospect for an inferior player compared to Huby.

Mostly other situations. He played 200 min with Barkov 5v5 and had 12 points.

What does 5v5 have to do with anything? I know it was what Chaos wrote in his post but it doesn't change the fact that Barkov has contributed alot to his point totals.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

He's in his all-around prime driving a true contender, not surprised we're seeing what we are seeing--though i will echo what others have said about the deep rounds, gotta see what happens there.

That being said he has always reminded me of Kopitar in that regard and is now reminding me of the 2012 version that still had the even-keeled temperament but suddenly also just would not be denied.

Like I was saying... less than 3mins together per game 5v5.

Yes, teams best players play together on the PP, lol. I guess Drai is a result of McDavid, or is it vice versa?

Because that same argument has been raging on here for 5 years.

On 41p Barkov either assisted or scored in the regular season. In the playoffs in 3/5, so quite a bit actually.

 

[CraigsList]

The main pieces were two players on expiring contracts.
I thought it was robbery. After signing both to long term deals it was still the same robbery but the Flames got players with term. Unfortunately they are not as good as in Florida.

Hold on, *Huberdeau* hasn’t been as good. Weegar? Been the most consistent player and plays like a #1D. I will not tolerate Weegar slander! Hubs on the other hand needs to get it together.

That's not at all what im saying.
The facts are right now that he sucks badly at CGY and can't seem to create offense at all. So why is it a crazy position to take that he was somewhat carried by the chemistry/other players at FLA?

Well what are we talking here about then? Isn't this the hockey section? No need to get your claws out just from a normal discussion.

Because I don't think that thought lines up.

They both have had their best offensive seasons on seperate lines.

Huberdeau was crushed, and was blindsided by the deal, I think it has affected his mojo. He wanted to be a Panther for life. He and his family have always spent time in Florida even as a kid, and he loved the team and lifestyle.

Fair enough. I've derailed this thread, sorry about that.

 

[Sypher04]

He was great last playoffs too, his defensive game was incredible. I know people don't like to hear that, but it was a main reason they beat the Leafs. He completely shut Matthews down.

Bobrovsky was the single largest reason for the Leafs lack of production that series.

At best, it’d be more accurate to say Matthews and Barkov shut each other down. Matthews had 2 assists in 5 games and Barkov 1 goal and 2 assists.

I didn't say Bob wasn't the biggest reason. Matthews basically has to come up big for the Leafs to win in the playoffs. Barkov doesn't.

That would not be more accurate when one guy starts exclusively in the D-zone against the other guy.

haven’t seen many Flames games, but it appears Weegs may be even better now, defensively. I remember watching shut down mackinnon for a whole game, he couldn’t get around him. Weegs stick on puck repeatedly broke it up at the blue line. It had to be the game of his life, amazing.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Barkov starting to score clutch goals AND playing D?
That’s becoming too much.
He shortly showed emotions, raising both fist above his waist…

 

[Laus723]

WTF is going on in this thread?

Anyway, beast mode Barkov is amazing to watch.

Still only 98% Barkov. He knew 100% Barkov was too much for people to digest right away.

No Zito/Florida were laughed at the entire summer, term ”fleeced” was used plenty

 

[FinlandPanther]

Barkov is playing as good as the entire core 4 combined.

Yeah, but what did he do for Hubey?

 

[Laus723]

Helped us get Tkachuk.

 

[Givememoneyback]

Helped us get Tkachuk.

I'm thanking Bennie and Duke for that. But I shouldn't say that out loud
