cdjen 21 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 I love Larkin as an excellent player for my Wings however he lacks the ability to finish his rushes. At this moment, he is the 4th or 5th in the rookie race. He is very fast and just as fast to get rid of the the puck once he crosses the red line and most of the time he missed the nets. He should learn to skate up to the goalie and out manoeuvre him. It's just frustrating to see such a good rookie not able to put the biscuit in the net. If he is not more careful, AA is going to score more goals than him. Come on Larkin, you came do it!!!!

Bill Berzeench 310 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 This is like saying the Red Wings should study the Black Hawks ability to win cups. McDavid is the Wayne Gretzky of his 10 year period. Larkin is the Steve Yzerman. 6 13dangledangle, marcaractac, chaps80 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Larkin is doing great. I didn't expect him to do what he's already done going into this season. He's beyond exceeded lots of people's expectations. He's cooled off lately, but it was bound to happen.No big deal. McDavid was the most hyped player since Crosby. He's got 31 points in 28 games on a last place team. If he wasn't injured he'd have alot more. Larkin isn't at his level.

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 Yeah, McDavid now only 8 pts behind Larkin. Larkin is good, but assuming McDavid lives up to the hype (so far so good), he's just on a different level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 McDavid and Eichel were the reason why some teams wanted to skip the season and just get to the draft. These two are unreal talents it's unfair to compare generational players to Larkin. So far McJesus has lived up to the hype and even more.

Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 Larkin is not McDavid but I'm more than glad with Larkin. Already contributor and will/should get only better. I just hope that he will have right players to play with, someone like Lucic/Backes/Simmonds or even Wilson on his line will make him better and will create space for him. 1 Opie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kid is unreal I think it's fair to compare Larkin to Eichel but not McDavid. Just because Eichel was a 2nd pick and because he was highly anticipated by the media doesn't mean he's better than Larkin at the NHL level. Aren't you always talking about eye ball rather than stats? Using my eye balls I can say with confidence that Eichel and Larkin are comparable. And with my eyeballs I can say that McDavid is at another level. Edited March 2, 2016 by kickazz 1 UpstateNYRedWingsFan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,755 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 I don't care if we don't have the next Crosby. We have the next Toews. And as overrated as everyone says he is, he's good enough to win Cups. McDavid is a great player and all, but wishing Larkin was more like him is splitting hairs. They've both got very nice looking careers ahead of them. Who cares if McDavid scores more so long as Larkin wins more? 2 13dangledangle and Wheelchairsuperhero reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
