Dylan Larkin brutal hit<\/p>\n

During the Gold Medal game between Team USA and Canada, Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin<\/a> took a brutal \u2014 but clean \u2014 hit that instantly had Wings fans holding their breath. Canada\u2019s Tom Wilson lowered his shoulder and absolutely drilled Larkin, sending him head-first into the boards in a scary-looking collision.<\/p>\n

It was one of those moments where everything stops. As a Wings fan, you\u2019re not thinking about the score or the gold medal \u2014 you\u2019re thinking, \u201cPlease get up, please be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Larkin popped back up and returned to the game, showing exactly why he\u2019s the heart and soul of Detroit\u2019s rebuild. The hit was hard, legal, and playoff-intensity hockey at its finest \u2014 but that doesn\u2019t make it any easier to watch when it\u2019s your captain on the receiving end.<\/p>\n

Love him or hate him, Wilson plays with an edge, and this was international hockey at full speed. Still, seeing Larkin shake it off and keep battling was a reminder of why Wings fans ride so hard for No. 71. Tough. Fearless. Captain material.<\/p>\n
