Looks like he’s staying in college another year
"Dylan Larkin was born and raised a Detroit Red Wings fan."
He was a Leafs fan growing up. Don't know why Detroit sports writers continue to go with the story line that he was a die hard Wings fan.

The thing is, we haven 't been in the same conference for a long time and, until just recently, that rivalry has basically been dead. Just because he's a Leafs fan doesn't necessarily preclude him from being a Wings fan, especially for an 18 year old.

What kind of chicken**** would root for two teams in the same league?

I have teams I root for when not facing the Wings. I'm sure a lot of people do.
I'm not sure it's completely false. Some of that stuff in there would have had to come from the Larkins—stuff about how his room was decorated, and so on. Now, they're probably playing up how much of a fan he was, but if they say he was (and, more importantly, if he says he was), I guess I have to believe them. Maybe he liked the Leafs better, but that doesn't mean he didn't like the Wings too.Of course, but the Leafs were his #1 team. There's no question about that. He obviously followed Detroit being that he grew up in the area. Detroit sports reporters want to keep writing the storyline of the local Red Wings fan who is drafted by the hometown team. It's a nice story, but it's completely false. It's bad journalism at the end of the day.
Detroit and Montreal for me.... they kind of feel like sibling teams, and there is an undeniable mutual respect.
