  2. "Don't worry. The victories will come". And now, I respect him even more. Didn't think that was possible. The best player in the NHL IMO. So glad he is Florida's captain. Every player on the team wants to do better just to show him they can. He makes every player better, and there's no good statistic for that really.

  9. Barky's style of play has made the NHL game much more interesting to watch in a way unlike that of MacKinnon, McDavid, Crosby, Ovi, or Kane. Barky's game — which he learned from his dad/Finland — is much more intelligent than that of most North Americans. I'm reiterating the same complaint that was made 40 years ago: the Nordic countries & Russians play a smarter, better version of ice hockey than do the North Americans. Gradually, North Americans will learn.

  18. Dude, if you win the cup for the Panthers this year, I'll name the next baby in my family after you… I'm from Ukraine.. Panthers fan since '96

  21. I think we Finnish🇫🇮 People dont make noise about our selfs we just do our thing without any unnessery talk or anything else. Hi from FINLAND 🇫🇮 GO CATS

  25. Florida Panthers are all about barkov and Barkov is all about the Panthers. It is very rare to see such a team-oriented star player. I am glad we get to watch him play on our team. I have been a Florida fan since 1993-1994 debut season and I am enjoying it ever more today.

  29. I know of no person I would prefer as the "face of Finland" over Barkov. And I'm not even talking about his icehockey skills.

  30. That’s our captain! Barky is such a calm and humble player who doesn’t have that “yeah, I’m the shit” type of attitude like a lot of guys get over time. One of the best 200 foot players ever to touch the ice, IMO.

  33. My favorite player since he got drafted. Aleksander Barkov is a beautiful representation of hockey. He embodies everythang a player should aspire to be, period. Thank your for everything, Captain. Love you, Barky. Go CATS. 1

  42. We are so lucky to have Barky as the Florida Panther's captain. The epitome of a guy who speaks softly and carries a big stick; humble, stoic, talented, selfless. Go Barky, go!

  43. We are STHs and almost never miss a game. Once in awhile the team is laying an egg. Happens. My wife will just tune out the game and state: “Hey I’m just gonna watch Barky skate. We aren’t playing well”. If you can do that, even in a loss…you’ll come away with a renewed appreciation for what he brings to the table…every night. He’s special.
