The answer was exactly the same for everyone – Alexander Barkov.

– I think Barky[Barkov]There is a quiet and hysterical human being. His boldness is top -notch. He may not tell jokes as much as others, but when he says, it is really hysterical, Tkachuk said.

Also, star striker Marchand, who was acquired in the spring, admitted that the Finnish captain’s jokes were working.

– He is one of the best jokes.

Reinhart agreed with others.

– Barky really. It’s just the dry sense of humor you can’t expect. And when he says something completely expressionless, it’s insanely fun, Reinhart said amused.

When Barkov was told that everyone had chosen him to be the funniest of the team, the Finn was obviously surprised.

– I really didn’t expect this, Barkov laughed.
