Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube revolving around “hockey”, with a primary focus on “Vancouver Canucks”, “Montreal Canadiens”, “Detroit Red Wings”, and top “NHL prospects” topics. These videos are uploaded with “NHL 26” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

Most teams that are competitive don't need a number 2 center! LARKIN is now the cancer in the LOCKEROOM! BYE BYE QUITTER
The Red Wings weren't Larkin's childhood team: there's literal photographic evidence of him donned in Leafs gear during the 2014 Winter Classic at the Big House. But yes, he's mentally soft and a quitter. That much is true.
All of the things ive been saying for years about Larkin.. and here we are.
Getting booed at Fan Appreciation Night after the last home game of the season already broke him. He literally looked like he wanted to cry but seemed to have acknowledged that the fans reaction was well deserved (it was). I was curious at the time as to how he would recover from this (he hasn't).
I've had it with him and I'm not interested in any attempt to make nice with him for sake of the kids. He's made his feelings clear and like any bad relationship, it's best we help him pack his bags and take them to the curb. The door is about to close and it's time to move on.
He gave you guys 10 years at a cheap cap hit relative to his production, and you guys failed to build a team around him. Good riddance, him leaving helps the wings get value back (unlike Marner) and gives him a fresh start. I don’t see this nearly the same as a guy like Cutter Gauthier quitting on Anaheim.
Not like there is someone protecting him anyway.
I agree with Due-Elk completely.. I was anti Larkin after the Olympics.. it was so obvious his heart was with that team instead of Detroit. There was a reason it took 2 years for him to be named captain
