When the captain speaks, everyone listens.

[@valitsemllaluokanavahyvaks3556]

Never seen Barkov speak with this much emotion.

[@mikel7262]

He was waiting for the cup

[@andrewryba7864]

great emotion, still sounds like a pu$$y.

[@timitri8]

Yeah thank you Florida for getting this out of our Finnish superman!

[@heribertohernandez8803]

Thank you, to the best Captain in the NHL for bringing the Stanley Cup to South Florida!

[@Stadingrabo7]

regards from Finland

[@ACorpseWithoutSoul]

Greetings from Helsinki, Finland. Congrats for a Stanley Cup and very great captain what you have.

[@Kuukerin]

For everyone saying That Barky is a russian, yes his parents are russian. He was born in Finland. He had a choice to be russian or finnish. He chose to be finnish. Kiitos Barkov. Perkele!

[@juhos30000]

and hes flying with the Finnish flag on his shoulders!!!!

[@valitsemllaluokanavahyvaks3556]

He was born in Tampere and played all of his hockey career in Finland before getting drafted to NHL, so yeah he is Finnish.

[@megadrot7295]

he grew up and was born in Finland, of course he is Finnish .

[@ACorpseWithoutSoul]

[@eberkovich]

Thanks, Finland, for giving us Sasha Barkov!

[@Maozedundu]

Kiitos, for treating him so well all these years. So happy for you guys!

[@moonchant]

Don't forget Luostarinen, Mikkola and Lundell. They played very well in playoffs and deserve some recognition too.

[@dubyamiyami]

South Florida is lucky to have such an amazing hockey team!! love these guys

[@RJLNetWork]

Eighty-two grueling regular season games! Twenty-four bone-crushing playoff games! Is it really all worth it? I think the look on Sasha Barkov's face as he lifts the Stanley Cup answers that question! My FLA Panthers are the new owners of Lord Stanley! GO CATS!!!

what a great tribute to Okie for Buffalo to give their captain the opportunity to win a cup at the very end of his career

[@AndrewFish-rq2zx]

[@jermuzi]

As oilers fan I am little bit sad but as finnish person I'm really proud of barkov

[@spacemansports4129]

Still so many salty Canadians saying nobody came to the parade.

[@AlainNavasDrama]

So-Floridians are always late to the party... they just have NOTHING else going on for them in Edmonton but their hockey team...

⁠@@alexsid7309nice job spreading miss infromation. He was born In Tampere, and his wife is from Usa. He lived all his childhood in Finland and were raised here. So yes he is Finnish

Из Баркова фин, как из русского грек =)

[@user-jj8wn8gu6v]

Почему Русский парень Барков решил стать Фином??

[@user-hp3ng3nc5h]

Пересмотри Брат 2 и там таксист в НЙ объясняет почему.

[@roohaa8382]

If you had a choice, you or absolutely no one would want to be russian 😂

[@rantanen1]

Because he was born in Finland, grew up in Finland, started playing hockey in Finland, speaks Finnish and considers himself Finnish. So he is Finnish.

[@RoyalMela]

He is not a russian guy. He is finnish.

[@eberkovich]

Родился в Финляндии, начал играть в Финляндии, прошёл от академии до взрослой команды в ФИнляндии. Он - финн. Посмотри, какой у него за плечами флаг.

[@user-dx4or2zd5f]

Саша ты же русский, а не чюхонец

[@fragman4521]

Ovetjkin is American now

[@DJNoppamies]

Барков покинул Россию, потому что не хочет ехать в страну, которая убивает своих граждан, как крыс.

[@75ncv4hu9tg7]

называть финнов чукнами - это то же самое, что называть африканских людей неграми, поэтому чукна, услышав это, может зарезать вас до смерти и за это скормить своим сельскохозяйственным животным. Есть финский глагол, когда что-то облажаешься, это "рыссия", что значит делать по-русски, лениво и плохо.

[@BarsonlineOrg2013]

Go RUSSIA!!!! Barkov is also Russian.... :)

[@DJNoppamies]

No. Barkov has abandoned Russia because he is for peace, not war like the Russian people.

[@rivality100]

So salty because you saw that barkov has finnish flag not Ruzzian 😂😂

[@user-be4gj5yj4m]

​@@DJNoppamiesХотят ли русские войны? Нет. Но и своих русские не бросают. Защитить русских на востоке Украины от истребления украинскими нацистами - это миссия России. И она будет выполнена. У вас есть своя голова на плечах, чтобы разобраться в теме? Или вы вообще ничего не соображаете?

[@DJNoppamies]

@@user-be4gj5yj4m Почему обеспеченные люди не идут на войну? Почему все студенты не бросают учебу и не идут защищать свою страну? Что может быть важнее защиты своей страны? Потому что они знают, что война бессмысленна. Для России это ошибка, подобная Пражской весне 1967 года.
