I think these "sky high" expectations about Barkovs performance weren't realistic before the tournament started. Yea I know he said that target is being best player there, but he is 17 and lacks little bit of skating, it wasn't realistic to wait domination. WJC is skating competition, so no-dominating-Barkov shouldn't be surprise or disappointment. Finland played too slowly all in all, and it achieved big problems against typical hard forechecking junior teams. They played "natural" hockey only at times, I don't know why. Maybe Rindell knows?

Rindell is a fine coach. It's so lame to always blame the coach when the team fails.

How much do you know of Rindell's latest work? It hasn't been exactly stellar. Even good coaches fail at times, but he's failed a lot lately. You can call it a coincidence if you want to, but most people here won't. The team in the WJC was undisciplined and since we're dealing with teenagers, who else is to blame except the coaching team?

Really?:help:

Changing lines for every game is being a good coach?

One of the coaches most important jobs is to make sure the team is ready when the game starts. Team Finland wasnt ready for a single game...

I dont believe he has any intention of playing in the NHL. It would be a huge risk to draft this kid high. Dano is another story. In any event no way does he go before drouin

Tavares will lift Lord Stanley 2013 and Rick DiPietro for Hart!

Tappara-HIFK, Barkov extends his point streak to 7 games early into the first period with an assist on Nieminen's goal.
 
Barkov's point streak continues as he makes a beautiful pass to nieminen who snipes it to goal.

Barkov had few good scoring changes in pp but didn't had any points

Still 25 minutes left
 
Mikael Granlund at FEL as 18-19 year old 39GP 8G+28A=36pts.
With better linemates. Was considered as top 3 prospect in hockey at the time.

Aleksander Barkov at 17 year old at FEL 39GP 17G+19A=36Pts
Against NHL-lockout players.

We all know how high-end offensive talent Mikael Granlund is.

Barkov with way better 2way game can match him being 1 and half year younger. Barkov will be very good once his legs gets stronger. I don't know many 17 year old who is 6'3 210-220 lbs with excellent skating. It's IMO matter of time once his skating gets great to very good.

Barkov finishes the game with 1 assist +/- +2 and 16.23 time on the ice

He was also 2nd star of the game.
