Dylan Larkin

[Chelis Chili]

Since I couldn't find a Larkin thread (strange) I'll open one here...

I'm already looking forward to the 4 Nations with him and Lucas.

Was at the game on Wednesday. His skating is NHL elite level and, as Mickey points our frequently, he has a motor that doesn't quit.

I've typed it before, but I've really enjoyed watching Larkin grow from a game one newguy into a true captain, and I think he's only going to get better.

I think a big part of what makes him a fantastic captain can be directly traced back to the work ethic and mentality that Stevie created when he got the C. He passed it on the Lidstrom, who passed it on to Hank, who passed it on to Larkin.

Well that is a thought that is both fun and comforting.

As I mentioned in the GDT, Larkin took 39 faceoffs last night. To win 61% of them is incredible.

I think they said during the broadcast that it's the most faceoffs a Wings player has taken since Steve Yzerman.

With Compher out, they really need to find another guy who can win faceoffs besides Larkin and Copp.

Marco? Confidence is high now.

Those are elite numbers. I always thought we get the worse center out of that incredible WJHC team USA. Now, I think he is better than Eichel.

This team lives and dies with him. I hope he is not getting injured this season.

They may have said Yzerman, but the answer is Fedorov. Unless they awkwardly meant that Yzerman has the next highest total with 40? But Fedorov's 46 is more recent.

Zetterberg is #20 on the list with 34 FO and Datsyuk #50 with 31. Every other name is Fedorov or Yzerman.
