The Zetterberg Era
Ball Hockey Sucks
Still trying to improve, rebuild and learning to play a complete game. The team Is likely bottom 5 again, why put the C on his sweater right away... It's a prestigious thing to be a Wings captain. Losing with the C on your sweater after all the years of success is hard on players, why let Dylan start his captaincy on a sour note... Let the kids keep growing and when they are ready to compete and the dead weight that feels entitled is gone, then Dylan and the kids can start their new era officially.
Yzerman started on terrible teams while being less of a complete player though a bigger star. Still I don't really understand this narrative. It is his team, it will be his team next summer as well. I think probably the fact his extremely close friend Glendening gets an A makes it probably cool with Larkin. Still I think he has earned it, I would basically endorse chanting there is our captain when he scores if we get enough people in the LCA this season.
They can do what they want, I don't think additional pressures were going to impact Larkin. I was just excited for him to wear the C, I think he has earned that. I guess they want him to put up one more big year first. I don't think he needed to and a big part of that is who he is off the ice and on. I would like him to cut down on his penalties a lot this year.
