 Every single one of his shots is better than Larkin's. 

Breakaway one on one's with the goalie will do that.

His breakaway shot is better.

Slap shot is better.

Forehand, wrist shot, backhand, snap shot, all of em.

He's a larger Paul Byron. Needs to be 1 on 0 in order to score consistently. His shooting in the cycle/Ozone is completely average for a top 9 player.

You're giving him too much credit.  He's like a poor man's Boyd Devereaux

Devereaux's name is on the Stanley Cup. Not sure AA's will ever be.

Fun fact: Like Zadina, Boyd was a 6th overall pick. Let that sink in.

I don’t know if that’s true. Larkin is definitely looking to score goals, just look at his shot percentage and shot attempts. He loves to shoot. Much more than AA shoots.

I'm not saying that Larkin doesn't try to shoot, but comparatively speaking IMO Larkin seems to set other guys up more then AA does.

I think one thing all of us can agree upon, its nice to finally have a debate about which of our 30 goal scorers is better 

*edit* didn't realize AA scored his 30th tonight

Ya know in 05-06 and in 06-07 Holmstrom scored more goals than Datsyuk???

And it wasn't because Holmstrom was an offensive specialist who stood in front of the net and took mostly only high percentage shots, it's because he was actually just a better scorer than Datsyuk through those years.

Larkin: 31G
Athanasiou: 30G

I'm no scientist but I think it's Larkin

He will be next year. Although I'm pretty sure I said that last year too... Oh well, I do still think he will be a 30+ goal scorer for a few seasons. He's one of the most skilled players on the team. He just needs to be more consistent.

We could actually have another season like 2008-09 where 4 guys hit the 30 goal plateau in a few years if everything goes right... Larkin (Zetterberg), Athanasiou (Datsyuk), Mantha (Franzen) and Zadina (Hossa) all have the potential to get there...

Larkinberg and Athanasyuk.  I like it.

Needs to be more consistent and also needs to stop breaking his hands. If he doesn't break his hand this season, he's probably flirting with 30 right now.

What can you do, its impossible to predict injury. Mantha has 21 goals in 63 games which is .33 GPG. If you use that math over 82 games, that's 27 goals this season. I think Mantha hits 30 next year if he stays healthy.

If Athanasyuk scores the same or more than Larkin, it's going go drive Neo and 91oR crazy.

How is this hating? Jonas said he has better shots than Larkin. I was pointing out that he gets more breakaways. How is that hating? Is what I said not true?

Why? It doesnt change the fact that Larkin is the far better player.

Yup. Crazier than Dickie on Coach Blashill Day. 

You should really learn to @ people. It will serve as an effective way to get people's attention when they've finally decided to stop reading your posts. 

Like this: @Jonas Mahonas sure does have a lot riding on AA beating Larkin for goals. Will it crush him when it doesn't happen?

He's white knighting AA. Even the slightest criticism and he'll accuse you of being a hateful lunatic.

So basically now it's fun to take lil jabs at AA's game lol
