This comes back to the idea that shift disturber is typically not a term associated with high skill guys at all and there is a tendancy to go with the top player on the team as captain.So how many cup winning captains have been shift disturbers since 67?
Messier, I'll give you. Who else fits the mold?
Hell, Alfredsson had some shift disturber tendencies in his his game, just ask Niedermayer or Tucker...
Shift disturbers are relatively rare in the NHL, not every team has one. Captains are rare, max a team can have is one afterall. The combination is therefore going to be particularly rare.
