The Canadiens hosted the Wings tonight.

It was a great opportunity to see Dylan Larkin, who was heavily linked to the Habs over the summer.

Maybe the American doesn't want to come to Montreal, but the feeling isn't mutual among the fans, who gave him a warm welcome during warm-ups. I'm sure that will continue throughout the game.

Did he intentionally leave the ice last? Maybe so. If he's not going to get booed by his fans, he might as well get the ovations somewhere else, hehe.

If he doesn't want to play in Canada, I doubt a standing ovation will change his mind, but still, it's worth a try, right? Our fans are the best, no doubt about it.

We know the Habs and the Wings had reportedly reached a deal this summer; it was the player who derailed the negotiations.

In two games, the former Wings captain has tallied two points, including one goal. He asked to be traded, was stripped of his captaincy, and was booed by his own fans: his time in Detroit is coming to an end—that much is certain.

Now the question is: where will he go? Florida, Minnesota, Vegas, Montreal…? He's expanded the list of teams he'd like to be traded to—now there are 10. As of the latest reports, the Habs are still not on that list.


In a Nutshell

– Two of the teams at the top of Larkin's list.

– The three players involved in that goal are continuing their excellent start to the season.

– Too bad.

– Good retort.
