Barkov Assist of the Year

[mouser]

Completely insane play by Barkov.

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

Incredible assist.

 

[WarriorofTime]

well done

 

[StLewis11]

Until I saw this, I though Ryan O'Reilly had the best hands in the league. But now.....I don't know.

 

[Realgud]

Damnnnnn

Almost to a man every single player who plays, or has played, with Barkov all say the same thing:

"He does things in practice that you'd have to see to believe".

He just only occasionally does them in a game cause that's just not how he's wired. He only does what he feels he has to do to help his team win.

So true, he will give himself ten lashes and a bag skate for showing off like that.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

More like assist of the the century, holy shit.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Amazing. Basically a mid air deke

 

[HolyHagelin]

Absolutely incredible play. In the rangers game thread at the time my remark was sommething like “spectacular. Sometimes theres nothing you can do but tip your cap.”

 

[Norwegianoiler]

Yes. The "Oh, my f***ing god" is just a tier below the "Wheeler swooning school girl open jaw smile"

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Omg that was incredible, wow. What a ridiculous play.

Being Barkov's linemate must be fun.

Dunno about assist of the year when the difficulties with handling the puck were mainly caused by him poorly receiving the pass in the first place. I feel like the player's own mistakes shouldn't be creating the challenges that are then overcome for the assist of the year.

Dude, the puck was literally rolling on its side when he received the pass. Stop watching hockey please.

but also if he controlled puck normally he wouldnt have been able to pull that move

What are you talking about? The puck is saucered to him, and skipped and turned a millisecond prior to hitting his stick lmao. What do you expect him to do there? He displayed elite hand/eye coordination and puck control there.

Barkov, said that he was trying to get the puck to lay flat, that's why the first tip happened and not with difficulties handling the puck.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Ryan reeves does this all the time

 

[PavelBure10]

It certainly has my vote, my God that was beautiful.

Serious question. Are you blind? Or did you just not see the puck bounce right before it got to his stick?

Nah bro, he is a total scrub and can't even receive a pass correctly.

 

[TGWL]

In case you're wondering, that is the awesome Goodrow we signed for 3.6 who just completely loses the middle going to the same guy Fox pinches on. Cap well spent.. Why hold the blue line when you can hold the red line!

Still, what hand-eye coordination there. Fantastic hands.

 

[Satan]

this was the assist of life

Agreed. If it were me I would have only needed a single touch. Not even for a precision assist but a direct 100+ MPH blast into the back of the net. Top corner, most likely ripping through the mesh, and unfortunately causing a delay as it smashed through the glass behind the net. Just one casualty thank goodness.
