OT: Lead candidate for Canada's captaincy?

[Yung Rotini]

I think Jonathan Toews should be the captain, but Crosby will probably get the 'C', since he is the best player on the team.
Your thoughts?

I think Weber and Getzlaf also have a shot at captain.

Crosby.

Toews A
Weber A

 

[DCDM]

Niedermayer
Iginla A
Crosby A

Wait...

Crosby
Toews A
St. Louis A

 

[Janks]

Crosby

 

[Northern Neighbour]

This is Crosby's team now. Toews, Bergeron, Richards, Weber, and Keith likely will be in the running to be assistant captains.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Id like to see Weber get it. As good of a player as Crosby is I am not sure I see him as the best leader on that team.

I'd like to see Toews, just because I think he's the best leader. You don't have to make your best player the captain if there are better leaders.

 

[Rangediddy]

Crosby will 100% get the C.

Toews is his equal as far as leadership. He's a lock for an A.

Weber will get one.

Probably one more to give out. My bet is to Bergeron, but Getzlaf and St. Louis have a shot as well.

How many team Captains are on the invite list?

Giroulx
Crosby
E. Staal
Toews
Phaneuf
Weber
Thornton
Ladd
Stamkos (it's inevitable)
Luongo

 

[Yung Rotini]

I know how we are talking about captains, but this is just rustling my jimmies.

Why was Braden Holtby invited over Cam Ward. Seriously?!

 

[Ace Rimmer]

The correct answer is the most veteran player on the team, who is captain of their NHL team.

So... Luongo.

There isn't even an 'l' in Giroux!

There isn't even an 'l' in Giroux!

Did I ruin your day?
You going to be ok? You going to get to sleep ok tonight?

Rofl sorry. I'm a grammar nazi and Giroux is one of my fave players. Combine the two and I might lose my mind.

It's also been a slow work day...

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Crosby. It's his team.

 

[Anglesmith]

Not sure if serious, or unaware that Henrik Sedin is captain of the Canucks. I'm pretty sure you're not serious.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Not sure if serious, or unaware that Henrik Sedin is captain of the Canucks. I'm pretty sure you're not serious.

I'm pretty sure I'm not either.

(Luongo isn't their captain anymore? I don't follow these things...)

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

I'm pretty sure I'm not either.

(Luongo isn't their captain anymore? I don't follow these things...)

He was the captain for a little bit, but gave it away to Sedin.

 

[BVicious]

In my opinion I think Crosby should be captain. Not sure if he will be or not

 

[Yung Rotini]

I'm pretty sure I'm not either.

(Luongo isn't their captain anymore? I don't follow these things...)

Luongo hasn't been captain since 2010.

 

[Gary83*]

Sounds like we have some closet canuck fans in here!

 

[BVicious]

But Crosby is BPA, isn't that sacred on HF?

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Marc Methot

 

[Flames7676]

Big Joe for the C. But really I think it's going to be Crosby all the way.
