Been watching since 1986.
Overrated goal by an overrated player.
I was always confused about his name and home country. His parents immigrated to Finland?
Very cool goal today too. He just skated to the goalie and softly pushed the puck in. It almost looked like he just gave up on the chance without even trying to shoot, but he actually knew what he was doing.
She's definitely russianBarkov is second generation hockey player. His father was pretty good Russian hockey player Alexander Barkov sr. He played in 3 world championships, and he played 10 years in finnish elite league. And was a star in finnish league. I still remember him. He was big, powerfull and skilled. NHL caliber IMO. Barkov jr was borned in the year of 95 during his fathers time in finland. Im not sure if his wife is finnish or russian, and how they ended up staying in Finland, but here sr:s wikipedia page.

Also Barkov jr has russian as his second nationality.
Btw I was surprised Barkov is only 23. I thought he was more like 26.
