Barkov goes God-mode in OT

[jonlin]

The thing about this shift that goes underappreciated is that Barkov had been on the ice 1min before this sequence. He had been in his own end defending and then lets all his teammates change while, as tired as he probably was, still is capable of doing this.

Here's the entire shift:

Reminds of Forsberg. But refs never whistled.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Barkov defends in his own zone, steals the puck twice, dangles a few guys while his team changes, draws a penalty, and then wins the game in OT with an absolute snipe.

And people are saying he “didn’t do much” and this isn’t thread worthy? Why do you even watch hockey if you can’t appreciate a play like this? Lol

Watched enough hockey to see that stuff like this happens pretty routinely. Might be a worthwhile talking point if it was done by a new prospect or a 4th liner journeyman who just returned from a lengthy injury or something, but this pretty much just is a thread about Barkov being good, and everyone going "yeah, he sure is."
