I don't care about the all-star game, I agree it's stupid.
But I think Larkin's position this year is inexcusable for a captain of a major sports franchise. I care more about the 7 year olds he's supposed to be an example for, than for how mentally or physically fatigued he is, while he has millions of dollars for comfort, luxury and recovery at his disposal.
If the Red Wings were competing this year, or if there were olympics, or some hockey related reason for Larkins attitude, I would have no issue. But instead he griped about his job publicly, and missed an opportunity to make an impression on a 7 year old on a sunday afternoon.
Hard not to see it negatively imo.
