Jared Spurgeon named Captain

[Soldier13Fox]

I, for one, am super jacked up and excited to have the potential to realize a future in which we get to read HF postings for the next 6+ years about how the "C" should be stripped from Spurgeon ... a la the Koivu debate.

2:54 - 3:11 Is that Herb Brooks?

Congratulations, you're about the 20th person to call me an idiot for questioning Spurgeon's leadership qualities. Oddly enough, you're also the 20th person to fail to provide even 1 example of Spurgeon's leadership.

I'll leave that to his teammates, Coach, actual people that know him and his game, on and off the ice.

Your opinion is meaningless.

“Nothing was ever about him, which is why I think he’ll be a really good captain,” Boudreau said. “For four years, I thought he was one of the best players, both off the ice and on the ice, that I’ve ever coached, and one of your favorite guys that you’d like to have on your team at any time.

“He comes to work every day, whether he’s hurt or whether he’s not hurt, never says a word, puts on his stuff, and works. He’s the perfect person and player for anybody to follow and look up to.”

Pfft. What does Bruce know about captains and good leaders? Jared doesn't start fights, obviously not a good captain.
