TVA Sports reporter Renaud Lavoie identified who was to blame for the Panthers' playoff failure.
« Meanwhile, where was Barkov? Everyone is telling us that he is the next Patrice Bergeron. Are you sick? He's not even close! Barkov, in the regular season, when the game is quiet, he's great to watch. Barkov, when the playoffs start, he's not capable. He's not capable of taking his game to another level and being the player that will drag his team. The biggest disappointment of the entire playoffs is Barkov. He did absolutely nothing!" - Renaud Lavoie
Against the Lightning, Barkov was invisible with one assist and a differential of -5.
On the other hand, in the previous series against the Capitals, we're talking about six points in six games and a +8 differential.
You have to keep things in perspective, which Lavoie obviously didn't do...
