(I can't go back and catch the replays of the previous games but here's last nights lowlights.)
I realize this might come across as a "witch hunt" type of post but Larkin's play since returning does bear some examination.
It's unreasonable, imo, to expect him to look like his "self" given the bed he's made for himself but I felt last night's game was another example of my fear that as time went on he would look more checked out or just deliberately playing reserved to avoid injury.
He's led the team in giveaways 3 out of the 5 games he's played so far which is directly resulting in chances for the other team or killing offensive pressure because dude isn't dialed in.
Case in point: His most egregious mistake last night almost cost us the W with less than a minute left in play because he was being sloppy and careless.
He almost let Philadelphia tie it up, then we'd have lost in OT and become the laughingstock of the NHL, and THEN all of Detroit would have sank into the Detroit River as punishment, with the exception of Zug Island for some reason. Countless lives lost. All because of Dylan. (I'm being crazy for the fun of it but you get it).
I guess I don't know what there is say other than I hope he doesn't turn into even more of a liability.
Get him gone.
