I still can't believe he leads the NHL with a +26. That's insane for a rookie. Speaking of the Wings... can you imagine how many Cups those 90s teams would've won if they had a goalie like Mrazek.

Surfaced a few nights ago on reddit. Person who found it was a Wings fan looking up random videos of people shooting pucks on youtube and recognized him. I caught it pretty soon and it had only about 200 views at the time I clicked, so it was definitely buried. It was also removed from youtube by morning (later reuploaded by someone who saved it), but Larkin seems to have embraced it now, so that's good.

Here's a gif that was posted in tonight's Wings game thread on reddit:

Watching Cam " I won't dive for my fumble" Newton and the post game SuperBowl, it made me appreciate the NHL's Stanley Cup and classy hand shake ceremony. 

Throughout many Red Wings broadcasts you hear about how Larkin is just keeping his mouth shut and earning his stripes despite leading the team in points and +/-.  Chris Osgood mentioned how nice it was to see Larkin's personality because he is so humble and quiet when interviewed.

My daughter's friend is from Larkin's hometown and has a brother who has a medical condition. Larkin is sympathetic to this cause ( I believe it is in family too but am not sure). She asked if the boy could meet Larkin. He responded way over the top in kindness and generosity.

It just makes me smile when I hear good players are good guys too.

Not fooling anyone Benn/wd. Just come clean, and salvage what little respect that you can at this point. It's beyond obvious, i really can't believe you think everyone is that dumb.
