I mean. What did you think would happen with a topic like this? Or any CRL thread in general.

You're at the end of your career, Abby.  Write books and raise your child.  You had a good run.

Personal note to the denizens of this season's GDTs:  I miss you all and enjoyed our chats during the games.  Even though most were awful losses, you were there for the celebrations of the good outings... and there will be more of them.  You are good and loyal fans of our Wings.  Stay well and be safe/sane about this situation we are in, as a nation. 
I just wanted to say hello to each of you, and hope to see you soon - Dabby, Mabus, Legs, Y19, Neo -- all of you fine people.  Looking forward to next season now.
xoxo, loooo

Based on the Wings season they owe us .......
Just like we would have done during the playoffs till draft day.....

Suspending the season put us Red Wings fans out of our misery.
I wonder if they'll offer those of us with nhl tv some sort of refund?

They should cancel the draft lottery and leave it based on the standings 

So they're all headed back to the Maple Leaf's Head Quarters?

Yeah, it's getting pretty bad.  I was looking at that stat earlier in the year, but hadn't paid much attention recently.  They are firmly in last place by quite a margin, but that stat is even worse.  They are -122, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th worst teams are a combined -130.

No please don’t cancel. I want to see how the -122 goal differential ends up 

What do you expect from a league full of snowflakes?  

McDavid also didn't play a game because of this mysterious "illness" designation. What's the common denominator here? THAT'S RIGHT! 
KEN HOLLAND STARTED THE CORONAVIRUS! 

LTIR?

I can't help but laughing at most of you 

No way I give the C to Larkin until he becomes a leader and leads us to win.  He's the whipping boy now.  Put up wins, or gtfo Larkin.  We already have Stafford who doesnt need to win.

All you whiners can go join the Oilers forum, if you're so obsessed with #1 centers.    

Why do you keep bringing up two players, not part of the conversation? We're talking about Dylan Larkin. Not Anthony Mantha. Not Tyler Bertuzzi.
True or false? You're full of s***?

Y'all are headass poopclowns. srsly.

Larkin will have 2 or 3 very damn good seasons in his prime years. The apologists will be like "See?!"
Then he will have his decline in his 30s. The hope is that Stevie doesn't give him a huge payday when this happens. 

Can't wait...
Larkin is playing better defensively this season, with less talent around him. That's not excuses or nonsense. It's legitimate reasons as to why his numbers are down.
Last season, he was in on 32% of his team's goals. This season, he has been in on 35% of his team's goals. The team is f***ing awful. Don't put that on the shoulders of one (of their best) player(s)...
Never said or implied that he would be...
Nah, you already have that covered with your boi Rasmussen...

VERY different situation.  Yzerman played on bad teams but he also won some games, played with talented players, made the playoffs.  Lidstrom and Zetterberg never knew bad teams or faced the kind of adversity Larkin is facing right now.  Larkin is on an island and the players that can help him are either injured, in the minors or not yet drafted.

Keep dreamin'
Larkin is having a down season, and will still crack 60 points. All while becoming a more well rounded player. His defensive game has been much improved, despite the bulls*** the OP is spewing.  Also, you know who else was a "sub-60 point center" at the age of 23? Henrik Zetterberg. Larkin is still young as f***. He probably won't ever be an elite center, but he will absolutely be a quality 1C for many years. He will also be the next Red Wings captain. Mark it!

Larkin is a sub-60 pt centerman and a joke of a modern 1C
Seider is an elite Dman and has the personality of a captain and you know it's true.
 

If you wanna talk about Seider, I think there's a Seider for Captain thread already

Not a chance he is the one the team will be forged around. He will be the next captain and will be there a long time

Scott isnt all that wrong. Ppl are just offended bc Larkin is the holy golden boy youre not allowed to criticize.
Hes having a very down year straight up. Denying that is denying reality.
He needs to get his s*** together ASAP and come in next year like a 1C 70 pt center again who plays solid D. 
Regardless i dont get the willingness to die on the sword for this kid that fans have. Hes no yzerman. Hes no Fedorov. Hes no Datsyuk. Hes no zberg. Hes a 2nd tier center. Sure the best we have, but bernier is also the best goalie we have. And berns can get fukt.
