Charles Barkley Drops F-Bomb While Praising Sergei Bobrovsky On Canadian TV

One of the most impressive players in this year's Stanley Cup Final is without a doubt Panthers netminder Sergei Bobrovsky, and during Game 2 an enthusiastic — maybe too enthusiastic — Charles Barkley was singing his praises on Canadian TV and dropped a hilarious fleeting expletive in the process.

The NBA great and broadcaster was in Sunrise, Florida for Game 2 between the Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers and he occasionally hopped on TV. That included an appearance during ESPN's intermission report with Steve Levy, Mark Messier, and PK Subban in which Levy joked about the prospect of Barkley joining ESPN's NBA coverage.

However, he also found a second to speak with the Cup Final's Canadian broadcaster, Sportsnet.

First, he talked about how he received a jersey from Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl which he said will be in his house soon and joining some elite company.

"I've only got two jerseys in my house. I've got (former Eagles safety) Brian Dawkins and (former Flyers goalie) Ron Hextall, and Leon's got to be in my house," he said. "Jerseys are very important and significant. So I told you; Ron Hextall, Brian Dawkins, and Draisaitl, they're gonna be in my house.

So, Chuck is an Oilers guy and picked them to hoist the Cup from the start, so what was his assessment of Game 1?

"Well, they played great in Game 1, but they didn’t win," Barkley said. "Bobrovsky was f--k — oh, sorry. He was freaking amazing. I apologize to y’all kids at home. He was freaking amazing."

I mean, in Sir Charles' defense, Bobrovsky was f--king amazing in Game 1, and aside from giving up a weak goal early, he was pretty f--king amazing in Game 2 as well.

There's still a lot of hockey to play and you can be sure there will be one hell of an atmosphere in Edmonton, but I think right now, Bobrovsky could be the Conn Smyth favorite (although Evan Rodrigues is making a case for it too), and I think Charles Barkley would agree.
