Gotta love the NHL preseason.
The tickets are cheap, the games are sloppy and the players don’t really care.
All of which leads to moments like this:
That’s Steve Ott and Dylan Larkin, from left to right, leaning in for a photo with young Red Wings fan Lylah. Fair to say, Lylah will cherish this snapshot forever.
Kudos to Ott and Larkin for making light of their own misfortune. Most players fume and vent in the penalty box, indignant at the referee for making such an awful call. These two couldn’t have looked more content.
Then again, it is the preseason.
