If they are fine leaders, then why have I seen the same issues plague this franchise since they were given those letters? Team is still streaky as all hell with big letdowns in the the mid season every year, have issues getting motivated to play weak teams, have a tendency to start games slowly and have to dig our way out. These things should have resolved itself by now if our leadership core was better, but it's the same crap every season.
Not too mention having Nathan MacKinnon, hides a lot of our short comings. Without him this team is garbage. Without him Landy and EJ would look really bad as leaders as it would be the same bottom tier product every single season. The only reason things have changed is because MacK went God mode 3 years ago. Our uptick has nothing to do with Landy and EJs leadership, they are the same guys that led us to multiple losing seasons. Only difference now is we have one of worlds best players to bail us out and make us look better.
