He was directly beat on 2 of the goals last night. First one Seguin beats him to loose puck and makes an easy pass out front for a goal. Second one he is caught flat footed on a turnover and Seguin walks around him and sets up goal. The stars also scored at the buzzer but it was half a second too late, Barkov would’ve been a minus on that one as well as he was coasting in the back check.

So we are basing things on 1 game now, and ignore all the higlight defensive plays he has made?
Everyone of these guys will have off games. Florida is simply badly build team on the defensive side, and so far Tallon has shown to do nothing about it.
Hahahhaha, that's a great comment to make, as there are 20 other guys on the team too. The guy is playing great, gave his team a chance to win once again.
Got flat footed on the third goal, because Matheson can't clear the puck even if his life depended on it.

2 goals (is this a Selke stat?) but on the ice for 3 against and was also on the ice for one that was a tenth of a second after the buzzer ending the 2nd period. The first goal he got beat to a loose puck and lazily just stuck his stick out instead of keeping his feet moving and let Seguin go untouched around the net and dish it out for an easy goal. Another one he's just standing around because he thought they were going to clear the zone and Seguin put a pass right between Barkov's stick and his feet to Benn who then fed Radulov for a slam dunk one timer.
On the ice for 10 shot attempts for and 18 against at 5 on 5 for a 35.7% Corsi. 44% on faceoffs. No takeaways, blocked shots, or hits and he took a tripping penalty. Aside from piling up more garbage time posts, what exact did Barkov do last night to bring him up in a Selke thread?

I get that but when someone comes into a Selke thread and starts bragging about Barkov scoring 2 goals do you not expect people who saw the game to laugh when he was on the ice for 3 goals against and got beat directly before two of them? He was kind of asking for it.

This is true and the comment that was made was that this was a typical game for Barkov this year. PP points while being a -2 or -3 in a loss for the Panthers.
They should change the definition of the award to the best defensive center if they don’t give it to Stone who is by far the best defensive forward in the league.
Lol, no. Stone isn't even close to Bergeron or Couturier. He's behind ROR as well. Stone does far less defensively, his work load is laughable compared to those guys.
Stone is elite defensively for a winger but those other guys are just better and do more.. Stone shouldn't be considered when his work load is so minimal in comparison

I really don't understand how people can't see how much easier it is for a winger to cover his defenseman, engage in some half board battles, and make smart plays to get out of the zone safely compared to a center who is essentially a 3rd defenseman, has to read plays and cover for any lapses by defenseman, picking up an open man in the slot, clearing rebounds, engaging in board battles in both corners and behind the net and initiating a lot of breakouts. This isn't a knock on guys like Stone but it's not even debatable that their job is much easier than a center.
Individual defense is difficult to quantify, even in hockey.
But by the eye test, I think Bergeron and Barkov are head and shoulders above the rest of the league defensively. They bring so much to the game on that end that doesn't show up on the stat sheet,
So, just for fun, and because I'm still skeptical but intrigued by this RAPM model from Evolving-Hockey which attempts to take all aspects of a player's usage (competition, teammates, ice time, deployment, etc.) and estimate a player's individual impact on something. So I decided to take a look at the RAPM estimated impacts of every Selke winner since 07-08. (The furthest date available for these metrics)
(Remember, we want negative. Negative means a player decreases the amount that the opponent produces. And we want a low percentile. A low percentile means a low amount of players above this guy.)

Every "percentile" is calculated among something between 130 and 150 forwards with 900-1000 mins except for 2013 where I used something like 650 minutes.
Pretty interesting. Obviously these metrics didn't even exist in 2009-2010 when Datsyuk was winning his 3rd straight Selke, but if they did, they would say that he was winning them based on merit. Same goes for every one of Bergeron's Selke Trophies. Toews, Kesler, Kopitar, and 08-09 Datsyuk seem a bit more like reputation based picks, but they still put up solid numbers. Whatever this stat is, it does a decent job of quantifying what voters look for in a Selke.

@Machinehead is right. Barkov doesn't deserve to be in these discussions.
Actually if you look RAPM models statistics from Barkov's last year, he had worse GA, CA, xGA impacts than this year. So obviously the reputation came out of no where.
Also Bergerons statistics from last season isnt impressive.
This years statistics shows that Crosby is strongest to win Selke, after him comes O'Reilly and Couturier.
