Look, I'm sorry McDavid wasn't anointed as a Hockey God immediately coming into the NHL, I'm sure he'll get over, maybe you will one day too.

Cry me a river. I’m just going to put you on ignore, because you’re just de railing a thread.

If you don’t like my posts, do the same.

He's the most overrated captain in NHL history. I even think Dustin Brown is a much... better captain than he'll ever be, as well as probably 100 other captains.

I'm still amazed we have a Mark Messier award but not a Wayne Gretzky award. Then again it might have to do with Gretzky actually trying to coach, which makes him less "removed from the game", which would make it a bit awkward if a player wins the "Gretzky award" while he plays against Gretzky as a coach.

Only player ever to captain 2 different teams to a cup.
It's always funny to me when people use captain as a verb. He was the captain of two teams that won the Cup. It's not like he did it all himself.

And his antics and Vancouver put more than a small stain on his leadership legend.

It's probably the least prestigious award and the fact Messier gets the ultimate say is a a joke and only inflates his large enough already ego.

One of the dumber trophies the NHL hands out, to be honest. The fact that Messier actually picks the finalists and winner just makes it even worse.
Good lord. I didn't know he picked the finalist and winner.

One guy picking the finalists and winner? and that one guy is Messier? Then yes, it is a pretty worthless award.

It's worth more than the Messier Elbow to the Head award...but that has negative value...where we are not entirely sure if this does or not...
