No, that's your confirmational bias coming out. AA is pretty much the same player he has been since day 1. He hasn't made a selke candidate transformation like Steve Yzerman did in the mid 90s. He's the same ok defensively and electric offensively player that he was in 2016. The difference is that he's playing 20 mins a night, getting 3 mins of power play time, and playing with top 6 wingers. He started off getting 13 mins a night, playing pk with no pp time, and playing alongside guys who shouldn't have been in the NHL. The fact that he is now succeeding in the top 6 is NOT a testament to your vision, Neo. While AA has fought his way up and earned his ice time, it's not because he has changed as a player after facing criticisms from coaches and players. He's always ignored that NONSENSE. His talent has taken him up the ladder, and it was there from the start. It was impossible not to see, but for some stupid reason, certain Red Wings brass and his supporters seem to only be able to bestow their affections on one good center at a time.

Yah, it's crazy that AA never played up to his first round draft pick potential with all his 4th line minutes and linemates the first couple of seasons. I expect more out of such a hyped first round draft pick.

Can't wait till AA puts up 35/30 next year and asks for 6-7 mil per. Will be interesting to see all the LGW haters saying he has a bad attitude and doesn't play a complete game.

If Blashill keeps Larkin with Helm, he will not score another ES goal this year.

I'm sure Larkin is happy about being put on the Helm line.

Son of a *****

Why are we winning?

This game reminds me of the night we put 51 shots up against Tim Thomas.

(Does Kip "Yes" motion)

What about me?

I've seen him behind our goal line 5 different times this game. The "doesn't play defense" thing always made me laugh. Never understood why some Wings fans couldn't like Larkin AND Athanasiou.

F that guy. What a tool.

Me at 0:09 when I see Abdelkader on the ice.

I don't miss Filppula at all. Not because I don't miss him. Just because we have the same fricking player in Nielsen.

Larkin and Mantha in Helmxxxxxxx Prison this game.

I can't get curly fries, but I can think of Carley Johnston curries. Let's get 3 boys!!!

30 Watch AA 4 to go Larkin 3 to go

This game is dragging

Good to have the players to watch during intermission.

Worst ppl I've ever seen Helm is on my s***list the 2nd highest. He turns the puck over and kills momentum with mishandled pucks more than any other guy. Abdelkader just sucks, which is the worst. But Helm is close to sucking too.

s*** Mantha. Skate it in all the way.

s*** clear by Helm.

Good to see Kuznetsov back 30 watch AA 5 away Larkin 2 away

He's going to hit 53 while wearing Prophetic Skates of the Ox. +12 Vision +8 Strength Character Level 73 Required
