The Red Wings 2020-2021 Roster Shipping Primer
Larkin/Bertuzzi/Mantha (597139)
- Still the top line, still best friends, we do truly love to see them still.
- Collective face of the rebuild, holding up the pressures of that together.
- "We don't think like that [that they're close to being/already are one of the most elite lines in hockey], we do have good chemistry and we're feeling more comfortable... with the long layoff, we're being patient to find the level our line wants to be at. It's gonna take time. It's not gonna come back on day one, but in the second [tc game], Anthony was on fire, Ty was too, so hopefully as time goes on we'll just get better and better."
Larkin/Bertuzzi (7159/5971)
- Well they literally just like each other SO much.
- Somehow they've become even MORE like Reilly and Jonesy from letterkenny, if you can believe that
- their significant others (kenzy and ashley) are bffs irl and throughout quarantine the four of them basically lived together? I'm tinhatting that they've become a polycule which is objectively hilarious
- "Larkin fighting Werenski. Bertuzzi fighting everyone else"
- (on bert injury) "yeah it's-- it can be frustrating. he's had a great attitude about it. he's done everything he can to get back to health, we miss him and I know he misses playing so he's trying. he's working as hard as he can. We'd love to have him back soon."
Larkin/Mantha (3971/7139)
- a boy and his giant beloved French Canadian <3
Bertuzzi/Mantha (5939/3959)
- my darling wingers who can do it all
- We fight for you and you bitch about it? boys
Larkin/Fabbri (7114/1471)
- Robby's no longer the new boy toy because there were about seven new trades or some shit, but Dylan still seems completely infatuated with him like a teen boy with a crush who doesn't know how to act normal, so we've got that much at least.
- Boys with the best asses
- Hi it's me by ashnikko
Bertuzzi/Fabbri (5914/1459)
- THE . PREDEBUT. PRODIGAL. FIRST LOVE. BACKSTORY. BOYS.
- Heterosexual life partners since they both turned 15 as far as I can tell.
- canonically assigned best friends
Larkin/Filppula (7151/5171)
- It’s like when your friend has a hot older brother and you’re not supposed to like him but you do?
Mantha/Bernier (3945/4539)
- Beloved Giant French Canadians!!!! They both have made ig posts before that's just pictures of them laughing during games like <3 little girly french tingz <3 so there's that
- Anthony is apparently Jon's children's personal uber driver except they're all <10 years old and he lets them sit in the front seat of his luxurious sports cars that he drives so fast no one else on the team will ever ride with him. So there's a lot of trust between those two men, is the point I'm making.
Zadina/Hronek (1117/1711)
- Literally still the prodigy forward and his beloved defenseman
- Both were shipped overseas to play on-loan for Czech teams, but they weren't on the same team. Which was kind of funny but also kind of sad.
- During a Czech game Hronek had to bust his ass to keep up with Z before he scored, and then on twitter after the game Z said "nah it was just lucky we know He is going to be a Legend soon :)" in response to a joke about fil on fil violence
Bertuzzi/Hronek (5917/1759)
- well, they're friends! They're friends and they like each other!
- The pregame regime of making hearts with their gloves and then hugging each other before they walk out on the ice is still alive and well. Thank you
Merrill/Glendening (2441/4124)
- Played together before either made it to the NHL
- Luke was apparently one of the first people to text Jon and welcome him to the team which is cute...; "It's always nice to just have a familiar face in the dressing room."
- Michigan boys who get to live out their dreams of playing for their hometown team together....
Larkin/Bernier (7145/5471)
- Jonathan Bernier is the grown man Dylan Larkin notably calls ‘Baby.’
- If it exists more I still would like to fucking see it !
Glendening/Larkin (4171/7141)
- Used to be roommates when dylan was a rookie. *touches the ground* There's Mentorship Here.
- Dylan made a special spotify playlist for Luke’s bachelor party and then was spotted at his wedding hanging out exclusively with random children and dogs. This isn’t even a ship thing I just think that’s so sweet and funny
- What about when you attacked Glendening? my friend Luke Glendening?
- "When Dylan first entered the league you kind of took him under your wing,"
Luke: *actively biting the inside of his cheeks to not grin like an idiot*
- "He's so strong, with luke he's a veteran player and someone we all look up to, he's someone that loves to give information and we talk a lot about strategy. he's someone we can all really lean on to act the right way."
Larkin/Ryan (7154/5471)
- Playfully antagonistic frenemies who are now on the same team? Bobby's mentioned multiple times how much of a bitch Dylan is to play against with a very shy smile on his face so.... uh.... ok thanks for that
- "3 or 4 days after getting here, Bobby Ryan booked a round of golf at Arcadia Bluffs, planning to drive up, play, and drive back. He reached out to Dylan Larkin to ask about what was in that area, etc. Larkin called back in 20 minutes and said he, Bertuzzi and Fabbri were coming."
- "Dylan's a great person. He's got great attributes that the winners always have," Blashill said. "He's highly competitive every day. He works extraordinarily hard. He's got that inner drive that it takes to be elite. And he's just a really, really good person. So it doesn't surprise me that Bobby would say good things about Larks because that's who Larks is, and I think Bobby would appreciate Larks' approach and the type of person Larks is."
Fabbri/Bernier (1445/4514)
- They had a couple bizarrely tender star-of-the-game solidarity moments last season which made me feel, frankly, fucking insane.
- Please let there be more of it???
- robby affectionately calling bernier 'berns'
Hronek/DeKeyser (1765/6517)
- D partners when Hronek first graduated out of the Griffs and into the Wings, so again *touches the ground* There's Mentorship Here.
- Presumably the top defensemen pairing again but we'll see !
Mantha/Fabbri (3914/1439)
- Blessed Buckethead Christmas In Meijers TikTok Prank, We Love You Always
- Robby your exceptional smallness / Anthony your exceptional hugeness
- there was a clip after robby got back from covid protocol where he slid down the bench at practice just to bump into mantha's side and then they both turned in to grin wildly at each other and well... it was quite cute
Larkin/Zadina (1171/7111)
- Mentorship.
- Boys with chronic babyfaceitis
- Hero worship crush except also backwards where Dylan thinks he has to deny himself things because Fil is younger and not depressed and full of potential
- Fil manages to goad Dylan into actually using twitter and instagram like a normal person which is cute, imo
Namestnikov/Larkin (7192/9271)
- There's got to be some kind of bizarre feeling of solidarity in being the next generation of red wings with significant ties to The Hags (Dylan being mentored by Steve and Hank / Vladdy being Kozlov's nephew)
- Also as far as I can tell they were both raised in the same neighborhood of waterford? Or something? So like maybe this will be Dylan's firstlove returned too lmao
- dylan had the opportunity for a hatty but gave it up instead so Vladdy could have a chance at a breakaway & a single goal in the game before the last minute of the third period was up.
- (Larkin voice) Vladdy's just gotten better with skating, he's working so hard.
Fabbri/Ryan/Zadina (145411)
- new second line yeehaw
- went golfing together before the season began so they could get to know each other a little better/hanging out since early november
- there is some kind of psychospiritual connection telepathy between them I swear to god
- Robby voice "The dynamic of the line, with size and speed and skills, it brings something together for us all [...] We really gelled off the ice," after the three of them had a really good game
- Robby voice "we just feed off each other, it's easy to learn each other's tendencies."
Zadina/Fabbri (1114/1411)
- When you finally get to have a consistent linemate and then you just love that kid so much!!!!!
- Z sprinting, jumping, and throwing himself directly into fabby's arms for cellys. It's so cute it's just so cute to me.
- Smile at each other like mfs in their honeymoon phase
- "He's playing with a lot of new confidence, he creates a lot and showed he can set us up just as easily as he can score. He's trying really hard to do his best." re: zadina's skill level
Ryan/Zadina(1154/5411)
- (larkin speaking on how they compare to himself and zetterberg) It helps a ton, having a vet player, y'know, how they approach the game, Bobby has a great approach because he's always looking to make plays and help his linemates make a play, and I know Bobby and Z talk about that. They continue to work. I know, with Z, bobby's just telling him to shoot the puck."
- BOBBY HAS ENTERED THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE OF MENTORSHIP
Svechnikov/Larkin (3771/7137)
- "I'm not sure I've ever seen someone go through as much adversity as geno has, and he's such a great person. He's someone that pushes me and I push him to improve, we're good buddies. His work ethic has never wavered... it was great to see him have a bit of success. It doesn't surprise me at all."
- svech spent the summer skating with dylan
- svech has also taught at the DYLAN LARKIN HOCKEY SCHOOL FOR KIDS so he can learn how to run something like that in his own blue collar russian hometown later on in life
- well they just like each other so much
- Still the top line, still best friends, we do truly love to see them still.
- Collective face of the rebuild, holding up the pressures of that together.
- "We don't think like that [that they're close to being/already are one of the most elite lines in hockey], we do have good chemistry and we're feeling more comfortable... with the long layoff, we're being patient to find the level our line wants to be at.
