Hockey Night in Canada analyst Brian Burke criticized Red Wings center Dylan Larkin for his comments about the All-Star Game.

When Larkin was asked earlier this week if he wanted to be selected to this month's All-Star Game in St. Louis by fans in the "Last Man In" fan vote, Larkin said, "Please don't vote, I like the days off more."

Burke, a former NHL general manager, disagreed with Larkin on Saturday night's "To The Point" segment on HNIC.

"I think it's stupid," Burke said. "This kid is a good kid and he's a good player but it's an honor to be a part of the All-Star weekend.
