Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.
I think everyone thought it was Matthew's team and his to lose but he hasn't really grabbed it and ran with it like a lot of folks were expecting. Now we have guys like Jt, Marner, Rielly, etc who have emerged as big leaders on the ice for the team and by all reports off of the ice.
I think that honestly they need someone to become captain and start holding the team accountable for their effort. It has to be someone who is respected and is usually always playing hard, hence the three names above. Do we see one named going into the playoffs? Or right after the season?
Who do you think it might be? Or does this team still lack a captain in your opinion? And does this lack of leadership become a problem when the team is trying to take the next steps?
Not to say you need a Captain or else you don't have leadership but at this point I think it's about time that it becomes "someone's" team and really focus everyone. Right now there isn't internal accountability it seems (based on the inconsistent efforts plaguing the team and general lack of urgency in "big" games).
