Detroit — Dylan Larkin was asked a question about Elmer Soderblom and Simon Edvinsson and Larkin couldn't resist.
You have a feeling somehow or other, down the line, there's going to have to be a nickname. Larkin was quick with his comeback.
"You mean the Swedish basketball team," said Larkin of the 6-foot-8 Soderblom and 6-foot-6 Edvinsson.
The two large Swedes were much talked about heading into training camp and have pretty much lived up to the hype thus far.
Soderblom had a goal and four hits in Tuesday's 6-2 exhibition victory over Pittsburgh, while Edvinsson was going to play his first game Wednesday.
