Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Larkin's first goal against Team Europe was a beauty. He hit that puck a few inches off the ice, angling it perfect past both goalie and defender. Superb hand-eye coordination. He keeps impressing. Hopefully he gets second line duties/ice time or possibly 3C. Edited September 12, 2016 by Jacksoni Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrazekFanBoy 223 Report post Posted September 13, 2016 3C is a waste he should be in the top six no matter what Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted September 13, 2016 3C is a waste he should be in the top six no matter what Why is it a waste? I get it if we are talking about regular season type play, but with this tournament, for most teams, you aren't going to be getting 1st line playing 20 minutes....minutes are going to be more evenly distributed. Are you suggested he should play wing? 1 MrazekFanBoy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted September 13, 2016 Ahh....well, he was 2nd line centre last season and now Datsyuk is gone, so there shouldn't be any threat of falling out of top 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I am talking about this tournament regarding Larkin of course. There is exactly 0 percent chance Larkin will fall out of top 6 duties in our club. To clarify, Larkin played 3rd line winger in Sunday's practice game against Team Europe.

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) Haven't been able to watch any of the NA vs. CZK game today due to work, but checking box score, McDavid is playing a ton....surprising, they clearly aren't taking the Canada approach which basically rolls the lines, with the top guys only getting around 16-17 min. Half-way through the game, McDavid is over 11 min.....by comparison, Larkin is just over 4 min. Edit....I also heard an interesting comment on the radio the other day as well regarding a discussion as to what chance this team had of doing damage in this tournament. I can't remember who it was, but it wasn't some nobody hack....he didn't think they'd win a game (in the real tournament). He thought Team Europe is clearly the worst team, so results against them haven't shown much I guess (they are in the other division once the games start for real.

It will be awkward when Team NA plays against either USA or Canada. Will be awkward for the young players going up against their own country in an international tournament.

Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted September 15, 2016 Watched the extended highlights of Team North America - Team Czech Republic. I am starting to get annoyed that Larkin isn't getting more ice time. His presence and ability is noticeably superior to his line mates and he should be getting a bigger role. To my eyes he has improved since last season. All this bodes well for the upcoming season though. I for one do not believe that he will have a sophomore slump. In fact I'd be willing to bet a little something that if not winning the team scoring race, he will finish in the top 3. Any takers send me an odds proposal.
