He said he was sorry. Wasn't that good enough? (Sarcasm off)

Hmmmm,..... kind of a weird play?!?  That said, I guess his salary demand just went to $8,505,000!

Lucky he didn't get suspended for a couple of games with the NHL trying to cut down on infractions to the head!

*Larkin looks at Jamie Benn*
"Oh, this is illegal now?"

That is absolute garbage.  Especially when Larkin took the same contact against Jamie Benn and it went totally unnoticed on all levels.  

Also funny is how the NHL punishes unintentional contact to the head more aggressively than it does intentional contact to the head.

Between his immediate reaction afterwards (Oshie has had head injury issues in the past), and him buying a fan a beer after knocking theirs off the glass during a pregame warmup, I'm really starting to like this #71 fellow.

The DoPS ought to refund that $5,000.
