Barkov responds to Pavel Barber(Youtube guy) on twitter

[Jorma Heart]

I got in an argument with him on Instagram, because he had a clip of some NHL player who tried to do the move where you pick the puck up on your stick behind the net, and jam it top corner.

His comment was something like "so close to finally pulling this move off at the NHL level!".

I commented "the reason no one has done it, is because they choose not to, not because they can't"

He got all defensive about it being harder at the NHL level because players have less time, and goalies are better blah blah.

I said "no, they don't do it, because it's too flashy and they'll get their head taken off, punched in the face, or benched."

He told me that was all a myth and eventually someone will be able to pull it off.

Guy is so focused on trick moves, that he couldn't come to terms that some things just aren't done in NHL hockey.

I'd like to see someone try and lacrosse the puck and have the goalie 2 hand them in the throat lol ridiculous.

Couple players tried it this year. I can't remember anyone else trying before that. Attempts can't be higher than 5 or so I'd imagine

What are you on about?

we need more fights!!

 

[Akustiikka]

Meanwhile Jesperi Kotkaniemi.

I agree with his reasoning more than yours though. They do any trick on the book as long as it's legal and nobody would do anything about it. Granlund did this to Russia in semifinals and only got good press, and no negative comments from opponents.

It's just hard to do on NHL level.There's no code against it. Hockey has evolved and fans should too.

Represents Team Canada in floorball as well.

And I represent the US in Ceiling Disk.

 

[Sam Spade]

I'm not gonna lie I think Barber would absolutely score in the skills competition and score a lot.

 

[End on a Hinote]

IDK why, but that straight lipped emoji always kills me, especially after a burn

And he's now wrong, being a YT star is pretty much being the world's tallest midget.

 

[HisIceness]

Have no idea who Pavel Barber is.

Me either. I do follow The Hockey Guy and I do occasionally watch Steve Dangle though

If you say so.

p.s. The top one at 22 mil is SEVEN YEARS OLD. So maybe there is something to the midget comment.

So Pavel was right and you were wrong? lol this comment didn't age well.
he doesn't just focus on trick moves. he has 2 accounts. the @heybarber one is more of a fun/entertainment feed. Then he has @pavelbarbertraining feed where he analyses plays that happen a high % time and it's really helpful.
"Guy is so focused on trick moves, that he couldn't come to terms that some things just aren't done in NHL hockey." you have the dumbest mindset here. he says a trick move is possible (and now has been scored 3 times) and you take that as he only focuses on trick shots which is completely false.

Then what happened?

 

[Asinine]

Then what happened?

Then a year later Pavel Barber came on HFboards under the alias Jordan9 and rubbed it in his face because players are doing the move more now.

 

[Llamamoto]

They ended up having the shootout, it's actually a pretty fun watch.

 

[Chabot84]

Or he could have taken a picture of himself in a bathtub full of 100 dollar bills

youtube guy can prob do that too lmao

Wow, you came back nearly 2 years later to reply to this?

Incredible scenes.

 

[holy]

That’s a really underrated tweet.

 

[Riddum]

Because it takes more than hands to make it in the NHL. if you watch his videos his shooting and passing skills aren't as special as his hands .

Lol, look who asked the question
