Watch your back, Dylan Larkin.
At a press conference Tuesday to announce that the Philadelphia Flyers will host the fifth annual CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game at the Wells Fargo Center on Sept. 22, president Paul Holmgren was asked about his team's massive game against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night. The Flyers trail the Red Wings by three points in the Eastern Conference wild-card standings, and Holmgren chimed in with the quote of the day:
"I'd like to be a kidnapper and stick Dylan Larkin in a bathroom for at least the next few hours," Holmgren said, according to the Courier-Post's Dave Isaac.
Larkin leads the Red Wings with 20 goals and five game-winners, and his 40 points rank second on the club behind Henrik Zetterberg's 43. Not bad for a rookie campaign.
The 19-year-old has one goal in six games in March, shooting only 5.4 percent. When he contributes, the Red Wings win - he has 28 points in 33 victories this season, and only 12 points in 34 losses.
