insane goal lol, stupid kulak

it was Mete, and nothing he could have done vs a 6'4 Reach

 

[Ducks76]

Nice goal!

Just for reference:
Last year's between the legs contribution.



Didn't have a defender on his back but escaped goalies poke check which was equally impressive imo.

Barkov s goal is more beautiful. Better style scores!

 

[Star Ocean]

Nothing special. William karlsson did it last year as been pointed out. People exaggerate just because it is barkov

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Pretty nice goal, added points for the Defender hanging on his back, but the between the legs doesn't really do it for me. It's cool move, but we've seen it done enough times that it has sort of lost the shock-value for me.

 

[HanSolo]

Bold to try that with a defender on his back. Hard to think of a nicer goal this year.

He was on a breakaway. Barkov had much less time and space. Not in the same level. Maybe with Hertl but not with this Barkov goal.

Yeah but the reaction to this thread is a bit much. Between the leg move has been done for years. I think hertl was the best one.

Not even close to the same thing. Barkov had no time or space for that move but he still pulled it off in a 3-3 tie.

a full-on breakaway in a 7-2 blowout against a second rate goalie is the same as one with a fairly responsible defensive player in sticks reach against arguably one of the best in the world during a 3-3 tie. nothing to see here.

 

[drktmplr12]

saw it live from section 132. incredible. even the habs fans were losing their minds.

I remember an old quote about Peter Forsbergs move in 1994 olympics, a canadian journalist said he if he tried that move in the nhl he would had been benched for hotdogging.

I guess the league has evolved since then? Then again i remember how media was angry over linus omark spinorama.

barkov and hotdogging don't go in the same sentence, unless he is out to lunch with you and phil kessel

I think you don't know much about hockey.

That game was 7-2.

This game was tied. Barkov's goal broke the tie and stood as the game winning goal.

 

[BrendanGallagher11]

Saw it live too
The replay doesnt do the justice

 

[Gainesvillain]

Still goal-of-the-year material for this habs fan. Risky move with the defender right there, but he pulled it off. Amazing.

 

[ronduguayshair]

Definitely one of the best goals I’ve ever seen.

Been watching since 1986.

Overrated goal by an overrated player.

No, it was Kulak. He messed up his dump in, Barkov got the puck and caught Mete flat footed. All could have been avoided if Kulak didnt mess up his backhanded dump in tho.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Barkov is really humble even by finnish standards. He is very good, but you dont hear much about him on finnish media. So underestimated. Even before the new generation of finns came, there wasnt much about him. Maybe its his russian heritage, who knows. I like the guy.

I was always confused about his name and home country. His parents immigrated to Finland?

 

[Plural]

Yeah. His dad played for Tappara (Barkov's team) for years. After his career ended they decided to stay in Finland. Which makes sense because their kid was growing up.

More because he had a defender on his back.

This wasnt hot dogging though. This was the only move that would have worked

Thank you for discrediting yourself so thoroughly. Sometimes it’s hard to sift through the truly ignorant, but you’ve made the quite evident.
