  1. I hear ya, Ken.
    Put me in a plane, and I am fine.
    Put me 20 feet off of the ground and I am freaking out.
    Fears of heights are weird.

  2. 9:18 that’s crazy! I’m about Dylan’s age and I remember watching those exact Alexei Kovalev Warrior videos in the early YouTube days to help me on my shooting as a 12 year old lol.

  3. I was not expecting that to be his biggest fear. 😅 Great interview and can't wait for more games! ❤

  4. God Forbid one of they younger, better players piss off one of our mediocre vets! The HORROR!!!! Fuck that, get out there and get after it full throttle fuck their feelings.

  5. At Daniella, if want a magnificent spot to parasail, Mackinaw Parasailing, St. Ignace. It is in the Straits between the Bridge and Island!

  6. Dylan being so open and vulnerable just shows how much of a strong man he is. Incredibly thankful to have this man leading our Red Wings. And Kenzy for being such a pillar of strength and support for him despite her own pain and loneliness while he has to be away just shows how much of a Goddess she is. All the love to the Larkin's. ❤️

  7. Respectfully, it was obvious to me that Dylan has been really hurting over the last year or 2 since their tragedy. He seems like a new man. I never considered the added stresses and guilt this time around. Salute, cap! We love you Larks!

  8. Don't think Dylan took many speech or communication classes at UM. He's very quiet and shy. Loved his thoughts on the dress code. Keep the 100 year dress code to honor those players.

  9. Lost my first child, still bothers me, but having one after will allow him to be more grateful for the small things, it'll make him better all around, he certainly looks more focused and determined this year, but also patient.

  10. Love you D Boss! You’re a great captain, and you are an even better person. Let’s get you back into the playoffs, you more than deserve it.
