He has a good point. Barkov should have gone to the net strong. Instead he try's a difficult pass to a 4th liner and failed. He just needs to be more assertive sometimes and take the more direct route and stop being so cute.

vendetta isn't saying Barkov is a bum or our worst player. Might be some misunderstanding. Barkov does disappear quite often, and one or two nice plays doesn't cancel that out.
Oh thanks for a little unbiased reasoning. He’s our best all around forward. But we’re not allowed to criticize him or else he sucks it seems. At least u get it

Exactly. Which is why it’s frustrating when someone says “Barkov could be more assertive”, people read “Barkov is a bum”.
If you havent seen the bum comments as well, thats just pretending on your part.

You all are very capable to discuss these topics without the incessant name calling, and hair pulling.

Barkov doesn’t disappear often. You guys are confusing him with a Mackinnon like player who relies on physical gifts of speed and bullish aggression. Barkov is a calculated assassin on the ice and makes a lot of great little plays that go unnoticed. I mean the guy is a PPG player I don’t get it. If this is him disappearing then when he shows up we’re in for a treat.
Yes he does disappear for stretches. Especially 5 on 5. Making nice little plays is fine but he doesn’t create nothing for long stretches. It’s just a reality

I’m starting to wonder if Duke isn’t just unlucky but maybe isn’t very good at finishing scoring chances

I think he misses Huby 5 on 5 more so than Huby misses Barky, but Hubs does have the better players on his line.

You disagree with my OPINION?

You obviously don't know hockey...

That stuff is for the birds...

since you’re vague booking about me I’ll just say that yes - anyone who would seriously state that Barkov is a problem and/or isn’t playing well enough probably doesn’t understand the sport very well
