Confirmed with Link: Barkov Named Captain

[StrangeVision]

LeBron was speeding on Interstate 71, not downtown Cleveland. The risk of killing someone at such speeds is very real in built-up areas and Barkov either was too stupid to realize that or just didn't care. Neither reflects well on his personality.

You're right, Barkov is a terrible person. Luckily, there are lots of terrible people in the NHL.

Just in case you don't want to click the blue words, here you go:

During an interview in July 2008, the Washington Capitals star admitted that he once got caught doing 165 mph—not far from the White House, no less!—because he was "late to the team's training." Amazingly, though, he didn't get a ticket, because, according to him, the police recognized him and let him go with a warning. However, in the same interview, he also admitted that he has received several tickets in the U.S., though he didn't specify how much they have cost him. He even said in an ESPN E:60 segment to doing 180 in his SL 65 AMG once. From the sound of things, he's incapable of doing the speed limit.

And going 165 MPH by the White House is so much safer?



I hate terrible drivers as much as the next person. In fact, nothing RAGES me more.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

I got a speeding ticket for being late for an exam, doesnt mean I have character issues.

Thanks for the good laugh buddy...

I'll pretend you lost someone because of a car accident, that'll give you an excuse and help me understand a bit.

Now you can go on and celebrate your good-life.

We'll go on and celebrate our captain on our board if you don't mind !

I think driving 65 mph in town is also a character issue, a young kid with too much money leading to reckless behavior.

Sorry my own record is 80 km/h in Town 2 Am no one on the Streets.
Why i should drive 50 km/h if i know only StrayCats and Rabbit crossing the Street at that Time.
Anyone drives a bit faster when he good and its possible from the Streets. For me showing this more, that he is still a Human and du things normal Human also do. After apologize before he doing anything and find excuse to what anyone do and no one talk about.

Only bad thing about this is I have to buy a brand new jersey.

Oh perfect and it’s in the beautiful white too. I’ll be rocking that for YEARS.

That's the one I will get too !

Ok that C is nice for Barkov. Enough of that. Go win some games. Show the league that there’s more to good hockey than Matthews, Tavares, McDavid and Crosby. Remember what the no-name Knights did...with our rejects...

 

[KevSkillz4]

Congrats. He is my favorite prospect at 2013 draft. He is the real deal.

FYI Finnish highways don't go through towns, only past them.

 

[Albatros]

It was not on a highway though, but in a crossing on Ponsantie in Kangasala. That's why there was a criminal case against him.

"was caught speeding on kantatie 58", that's a Finnish highway. I don't care if it was on a crossing or not, the highway doesn't magically end because of a crossing. Also that wasn't the only reason why it could've gone to court, the main thing is that he did 105 in a 60 zone.

Anyway this has literally nothing to do with him being named captain. I'm sure you could poll all 31 teams and most of their captains (/ main alternative) would have a driving offense of some sort under their name. We make mistakes and that's what makes us human.

 

[Albatros]

It has everything to do with him being called the perfect off-the-ice character which he clearly is not.

Oh well. He won’t be charged with anything. Get over it

Glass house man.

Not one captain on this earth has perfect off ice character. Get over it. Your not perfect. He isnt perfect. No one is.

It's just a cliche'd sports line and you are blowing it way out of proportion. It's speeding, not domestic abuse.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Stay on topic.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Very happy that he got the C. I didn’t think he’d be the one to get it because of how low key he is, but in retrospect why wouldn’t he get it? The whole team looks up to him and he’s a force every time he steps on the ice.

Sasha seems like the type of guy who won’t be over-dramatic. When he talks he seems like he’s level-headed and understanding. That’s the kind of leadership we want, especially out of a young guy.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

It’s a good group

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

It’s a good group

No complaints here. Old man Yandle there to supervise the kids lol

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

It’s a good group

The future is finally here.

 

[BB88]

Seems like the expected group.

Hi Panthers fan from Germany here.
I am very happy with the naming of Barkov to be the panthers captain.

First i thought Trocheck will be our next captain. And i hope they spoke to him, before the gave Barkov the "C".
