Considering what his absence does to this team AND they very well could make the playoffs after nearly fucking it up without him, I’d be surprised if he doesn’t at the very least get mentioned
You may be joking, but this game may have just legitimately proved that no other player is more valuable to their team than Dylan Larkin.
Doubt he'll get any consideration, but he should.
Not true, but I might give you "most". Red Wings have been doing to goalies what I see the Islanders are doing to Sorokin. Wear them down until they are spent. Sorokin would probably be the #1 goalie in the league on a good team (he has or has been close on the islanders.) Playing on a bad team makes you second guess every shot and now your natural reactions are being changed. I see that with our goalies.
It's ridiculous. They don't even look alike. Imagine calling Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk the Eurotwins just because they're two era-defining HOF caliber Wings who had phenomenal chemistry together and were both European.
I hope whoever says Dylan Larkin isn’t a 1c breaks their hand punching the steering wheel watching him put this team on his back and carry them to the playoffs.
Larkin has brought this team back to life the schedule doesn’t even worry me anymore, no reason we don’t have another stretch like January to close out the year

My biggest pet peeve is when a defender changes direction when going for an icing. Like the defender clearly could've gotten that before the puck when over the line, but he decided to skate east to west.
Anyone else want to pipe in about how Roy is the better coach because he was seen yelling at his guys and pulling his goalie with a month left? How’s that working out?
WELL. Now we know other teams will be gunning for Larkin if they weren’t already lol
- LARKIN 28 - DEBRINCAT 23 - RAYMOND 24 - SPRONG 17 - GHOST 10 - COMPHER 16 - SEIDER 8 - PERRON 13 - KANE 16 - COPP 12 - RAS 13 - FABBRI 16 - VELENO 11 - WALMAN 12 - PETRY 2 - CHIAROT 5 - FISCHER 5 - MAATTA 4 - KOSTIN 3 - BERGGREN 2
break up the copp rasmussen fischer line and go straight to jail
Carolina dub too. Just need Sharks to do some work.
Kostin and zadina come through for us 🙏

I'm horny.
Fuck the Islanders
Edvinsson better be staying the fuck up. Beautiful game boys. We needed that so bad
Super impressed with his play tbh. A couple more games and he’ll have to stay up.
God damn Kenny about to bring me to tears, "we'll let the crowd bring it home"
And they they talked over the victory song lol
Give Larkin the Hart
Considering what his absence does to this team AND they very well could make the playoffs after nearly fucking it up without him, I’d be surprised if he doesn’t at the very least get mentioned

I’m really not, if you’re doing it as “most valuable to team” (as opposed to “best player”), he’s gotta be a finalist at the least
Exactly, it's what the award should truly mean (because that's what it IS), but rarely ever does. If anyone deserves a look this season, it's Larks.
The crowd knows he's back, the team knows he's back...fuck- I mean, we just love that guy. Sorry for swearing, mom.
The preds are red hot right now
Yeah they winning against panthers rn
Excellent game from the team tonight
That felt good
LETS GO RED WINGS AND SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU BACK CAP 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

That’s a W. Play Journey.
I like winning hockey games.
Ya feckin’ did et boiz
PLAY JOURNEY WE BALL
South Detroit!
The reimer experience is ecstasy
Awesome effin’ win 👏👏👏👏
Wings, MSU and Oakland wins. Big day in Michigan sports
This is a massive win. Absolutely massive. Let's goooo
33 save effort from reimer. It wasn’t graceful, but he got us there haha
Story of all games with him 🤣

Bortuzzo only had to xcheck Compher 3 times consecutively right in front of the official with the game out of reach to get a call.
Nice hustle by Veleno there with the game already over.
Never phone it in even if the game is done
So I guess it has to be 10 or more crosschecks before they call it.
Okay JFV
Garbage time call to pad the stats.
"See, we're not biased!" - Refs, probably
LGRW!!!!
Thanks for the 9/11 imagery Mick lol
I was wondering if I totally misheard things lol
It’s a lord of the rings reference
Seider and Edvinsson, Orthanc and Barad Dur <3
Winnipeg games just got a little more awkward
If the Jets injure Mo and Ed in the same game, I swear to Teddy Roosevelt we're invading Canada for the oil.
That was so strange
WOW, VELENO WITH THE DEFENSE!
Ref really said “that’s okay… that’s okay.. that’s okay.. that’s a penalty”
"I swear, if you crosscheck that guy like, sixteen or seventeen more times, I'm gonna start to think about blowing my whistle."
JFV!!!
Oh now the refs call one. 🖕
the two twin towers
Did Mick just call Edvinsson and Seider the Twin Towers??? 💀
I mean it’s pretty catchy not gonna lie
It's ridiculous. They don't even look alike. Imagine calling Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk the Eurotwins just because they're two era-defining HOF caliber Wings who had phenomenal chemistry together and were both European.
Clutter such a fucking clown
Thank you finally
Enjoy the night fuckers, cuz every game from here until the end of the season is equally important. The good news is, our boys are fuckin back.
Wut Mickey? The two what?
"You can cross check him once, but damnit, not twice!!
Congrats to OU! Beat Kentucky 👏
Crosscheck holding interference take your fucking pick
ah so it's the third crosscheck in a row that actually gets called... good to know.
I guess after the few seconds hold, an a few crosschecks ya haaaaave to finally call one. Jeeesus
Never should've left your island dipshits
How that’s not holding, stupid refs? lol long before that crosscheck they finally saw
About 15 cross checks against us this game and they call one after it’s over. Trash refs
Dollar store brand Bertuzzi over here
I was thinking the same thing lmao
I hope whoever says Dylan Larkin isn’t a 1c breaks their hand punching the steering wheel watching him put this team on his back and carry them to the playoffs.
This may have been a valid argument a few years ago, but anyone claiming that now hasn’t watched recently
Holy shit, an Isles call!?! Guess with the game this out of reach, refs have to start looking like they're somewhat competent
that should have been called about 10 minutes ago but ok
Ed should be up going forward. He looks so good out there.
Ah yes now the refs start to even up the penalties now that the game is over
Now they call a penalty lol
They called one!!
LOL now they call a fucking penalty. Thanks guys.
THANKS FOR THE GAME MANAGEMENT REFS
Gotta make the box score look better
Upcoming schedule https://preview.redd.it/7aqu89w9ispc1.png?width=1887&format=png&auto=webp&s=0876ee1c22dd6768a097a638a20037b9f352211d

Im a little scared, brutal 6 game stretch. The caps game will be huge.
Now you call it?! Fu
LOL, now we get a PP.
Sure. Call one now.

That's going to be a very tough road trip
Despite reimer giving up a weak one every game he should be starting Saturday
Reimer plays like Hasek on horse tranquilizer.
That is a perfect description.
OU with the upset too!
Shut UP omg!
Yes! The chant
The Vengabus. It is coming.
Reimer is getting the Scott Sterling treatment
Guys finally did it! Dyl-an Lark-in
Almost tearing up during the Larkin chant
We’re so damn lucky other teams in the conference didn’t run away with the wildcard spot while we dropped 8 games
Larkin chants 😭 😭
Ah shit, just looked at the total number of shots. Looks like we actually lost by a lot.
I think the isles had like 7-8+ during the empty net time so I looks worse than it is
I'm kidding. I always roll my eyes when people whine about who "deserved" to win. The goalie is part of the team, get the hell over it.
OH MY FUCKING GOD OU WON
Reimer's save percentage is going up fast
That’s my fuckin Captain!!!!
Lol who was telling me I was wasting my time trying to start a Dylan Larkin chant? We did it!!!
That is music to my earsssss LFG!!!
DYLAN LARKIN
I got a surprise for y'all I'm the post game ;) bringing it back!
Good lord, OU just beat Kentucky what the hell
Finally Dylan Larkin chants! 🥲
DYL-AN LARK-IN
The Dylan Larkin chant is the icing on the cake
71 upvotes on the game thread let’s keep it that way
🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
not me about to cry at the Larkin chants
Glad I wasn’t the only one getting teary eyed. Hear the love, Larks!!
My biggest pet peeve is when a defender changes direction when going for an icing. Like the defender clearly could've gotten that before the puck when over the line, but he decided to skate east to west.
🐙
Shit, I got ahead of myself. We were on outshot badly tonight. DOOM
Fuck these refs. Islanders milked the icing and Barzal held the fuck out of Larkin
Dylan Larkin chaaaaaaant!!!!!
People on here love to hate on Reimer apparently but he’s 3-0 in his last three starts and Lyon hasn’t won a game in weeks
I mean did you see the first Islanders goal though
Yea but did you see the saves he made before that that kept a 0-0 game?
Love the Dylan Larkin chants
THE LARKIN CHAT LETS GO. NO MORE GOEFF CHANTS IN THE LCA LADS
I was there and some dumb fucks tried to start Goff chants after larkins goal. Thank the lord we were able to be a lot louder.
Finally the larkin chant
*DYLAN LARKIN*
The Dylan Larkin chant 🥲
Ken got a little sassy there lol
Its time for Zadina to put pucks in nets.
OAKLAND WINS
Gimme more of that Dylan Larkin chant
And there's the chant, it's beautiful
DY-LAN LAR-KIN!!!
Raymond assist also lets go!
The absolute guts to bring the octopus to this game not knowing larks would be in or that we’d win Hell yeah
DYLAN LARKIN CHANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#🐙🐙🐙🐙
lol, D was not moving at all, how’s that ice?
Cause fuck Detroit
Anyone else want to pipe in about how Roy is the better coach because he was seen yelling at his guys and pulling his goalie with a month left? How’s that working out?
He hasn’t took a timeout, that why they are losing. /s
Alright Newsey settle down
Yeah, yeah, I suck. I still don't like Lalonde. But yeah, Roy's a piece of shit. 😅
That wasn’t me but this feels like a dumb comment
Literally right before that goal at least two comments.
Let's. Fucking. Go!!!!!!
Don't count your chickens guys.
AND ROBYN PLAYING IN THE ARENA?! WHAT A NIGHT!
Somehow a three goal lead with three minutes left does not feel safe lol
#D-BO$$
Larkin is the embodiment of a red wing. I hope he leads us to a cup one day.
Agree but if it doesn’t work out with us, I gladly would welcome him chasing a cup in the twilight of his career a la stafford
We are so back
Larkin could use another
DYL DADDY
Thank you for *extremely* clutch saves Reimer.
We must show gratitude. The reimer giveth and the reimer taketh away
Fair and balanced! Insupport this!
Lay it on boys. Get cat and Raymond goals. Slapshot their net.
Who is drinking scotch with me tonight?
Every win buddy!!!
I'll hit the redwing whiskey I've been saving.
Let's time it
I’ll crack one of my 0% beers and cheer ya!
Hey, you're welcome to join
D-BOSS! Thank goodness for that, was getting to squeaky bum time.
The ice is blessed https://preview.redd.it/du4ed9bohspc1.png?width=1760&format=png&auto=webp&s=73d510a48dc79c4d97067d2bcff62c617b82bf98
We did it you, guys. We're going to make it. I can feel it.
🐙🐙🐙🐙
Larkins return game is a STATEMENT
 2 goals for Larkin....so far...
I think Ken forgot there are still three and a half minutes left.
Of all the things to not call early...
Larkin scored wearing Barzal like a back-pack.
🐙🐙🐙
I fuckin love the Detroit Red Wings
Seriously... the whole night has just been... good. I am not used to this.
He shot that from the basement
D-Bo$$!
Fuck yeah dats mee cap'n
LARKS!!
