Hey it's the predictable Frankgrines' lap-boy reverence of the opposition post. I, personally, think the Kings are going to "Petr out" over the course of this game. LGWs!!!!!!!

Larkin is a remarkable player... he's got "it" -- the hockey sense, intangible X-factor. We are incredibly fortunate to have this kid in a winged wheel.

Eminem came up empty for me last time, so I need something new. It needs to be gritty, aggressive, grinding. Something that's almost synonymous with "fire in the belly", but that's also from Detroit. Something to be symbolic of the kind of intensity this team needs. This is hard. Wings: 3 (Green, Nyquist, Helm) Kinds: 2. Oh, I just remembered. What about this guy?

Larkin!

Larkin back on the bench!

Jurco with a hattrick in GR tonight! But whyyyy did Larkin try to kick that puck...

Future Captain

Honestly? he didn't make the turnover, but he's supposed to play defence. He had plenty of a head start - all he had to do is stay between the player and the net. Instead, he got way out-skated and left behind.

Are we allowed to complain about Smith here? or do we have to measure it with complaints about E and Kindl?

From my understanding because the former captain Danny Gare had left the team. I cant see a 19 year old Larkin becoming "the leader" of a team that still has players like Zetterberg, Datsyuk, and Kronwall on it. Not to mention, do you actually think he would want that? I couldn't imagine just walking into a locker room and taking the captaincy from someone who has been there as long as Z. Typically young guys are given the C, when the entire team around them is young or new to the organization. You dont strip an established vet of the C to give to a 19 year old. Also, how is being big a good leadership quality?

I wasn't going to contribute too this but... Hank is absolutey the heart and soul to this team. Even when Dats get up to speed. That is all.

Alright you've made the blocked list. This is why I don't even bother engaging in conversation anymore. Talk about clueless...

Dumbest OP ever...

Uh, nope. Even as Z declines I feel like he's an exceptional leader. He'll be teaching Larkin for years to come.

This has to be a troll post. How does Sheahan get an A? And please do explain how Hank has lost his heart and soul.

Just 4 more goals and we should have this wrapped up.

Great response to get those two goals. Larkin is the second coming of Yzerman.

Dylark!!!

I read the article, and I didnt see anything about Chicago or Minnesota. I dont know where you got those two teams from. Detroit to Winnipeg is 1145 Miles, Saint Paul to Winnipeg is 466 miles, Chicago to Winnipeg is 863 Miles, Brooklyn to Winnipeg is 1656 miles.......If he loves NY but it is too far from home, I really really doubt Detroit wouldn't pose the same problem. If you read somewhere that he is willing to move to Chicago or Minnesota, they are still both closer to Detroit, and Minnesota by a significant distance.

Wear a Kings jersey

that datsyuk line is retarded....

The Smiths are getting back together with Morrissey?!? Sweet. What is wrong with this scenario is that the Isles aren't reallly getting a quality replacement for Hamonic RIGHT NOW... and that's what they want/need.
