Barkov has drawn twenty penalties and taken zero this season

[CapitalsCupReality]

Wild stat line. He just doesn’t get into any gritty situations I guess. Impressive player.

That really shouldn't need a sarcasm indicator, yet here we are.

Where do I buy one?

He's easily the nicest player in the league. He calls after every game to apologize to any goalie that he scored on.

Now that would be something if true.

Barkov is like Bergeron, I don't think anyone has ever hated him.

 

[Machinehead]

Barkov should be a banned substance.

He is constantly winning puck battles in the corners and along the boards. That combined with the amount of stick lifts he attempts and often successfully executes, I'm kind of surprised he hasn't committed a penalty yet.

That's what I thought when I saw that. For a player that routinely strips the opponent off the puck it's kind of amazing how he almost never takes penalties. And that stick lift almost always comes from way behind... How the hell doesn't he get hooking calls more often?

Plus he's got such a big stick you figure he would've accidentally clipped somebody by now. Pretty impressive.

I heard he helps out in all the soup kitchens in the Miami area on off days.

Seriously though, I agree he is quite good. I was slow to the party on appreciating him but I've gotten on board his hype train (He even helped me on he's that nice).

Youre breaking my heart, that should in fact need a sarcasm indicator

He doesn’t even wanna ask too much money from the organization. Like less than Nylander. He is so nice.

 

[Hint1k]

Why everyone is so surprised that a Cat's player is so fluffy. He has to be by definition.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Really? Source?

Eklund.

 

[pown]

I hear hes adopted over 34 children

 

[crowi]

Its as true as glue.

Funny part is I could believe that.

I mean, he just called me and wanted to fly back to Finland and change my tires.

 

[flamesforcup]

I heard from my cousins dads wifes babysitters dog that on his off days he goes around Miami saving stray cats.

 

[The Worst One]

I hate these type of players. A good player would score a goal, get an apple, and receive 5 min. major for fighting.

 

[MrThomas]

I heard he volunteered all his money to poor and hungry children in Kenya and Gary Bettman. Now he is living with his mom in the studio flat in a low class neighborhood. He goes to BB&T Center by bus.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

I heard he donated the car he was driving when he got a speeding ticket to the local orphanage

 

[Ptgeandmain]

Probably the most underrated player in the nhl

 

[aemoreira1981]

No penalties by a FORWARD this deep into the season? I'm not sure I've seen that before maybe since Butch Goring was playing...51 minor penalties in 1107 career games. He could finally win the Selke and Lady Byng this year. The Panthers knew what they were doing when they gave him the C.

O’Reilly is notoriously good at not taking penalties too. I remember one season (he was still with the avs) the only penalty he took was playing with a broken stick. Game 82 as well IIRC

Few games ago there was good article of him.
