Idk if he has social anxiety or whatever, but I remember he use to get picked on as a kid for his acne and stuff..
But still, definitely not captain material
its funny how one of the dumbest arguments against Kessel is "pressure from the media".. LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what you think the first 5 years have been for the guy? sunshine and lollipops?
The captaincy doesn't even matter. Rangers made it to the final without one. Its just a guy to talk to the media and phaneuf can barely put a sentence together.
Check out Phaneufs interview on the Strombo show, he's reasonably well spoken.
You want to talk about a guy who can barely string a sentence together? Both Derian Hatcher and Dustin Brown had serious speech impediments yet both have been the first to touch the cup.
Not that I condone being mean to the media but it's not like that sort of thing decides hockey games.
