New Leadership Needed?

[Jee]

I'd give Steve the C.

Honestly, I'm not Gionta's biggest fan, but the guy played with a torn bicep. If that's not leadership and putting it on the line, I don't know what is. One thing I won't question Gionta on is leadership.

We need to overhaul the D. A lot of young prospects coming, Markov is getting old, Bouillon is Bouillon, Gorges has been meh, Diaz and Weber are soft... Their puck skills don't compensate for how soft they are in their zone.

Amazing that people are even questioning the leadership in this room with what this team has accomplished this year... Don't feel "inspired" by Gionta, Gorges and company? That your problem Habs' fans, not the team's. Here I thought that Therrien's comments about Gionta yesterday would have dissipated any doubt about Gio and his leadership. There is no pleasing this fan base.

I have absolutely no problems with Gionta with the C.
What I did have problems with was him getting prime offensive minutes when he should be on the 3rd line in the regular season.

Team Leadership is growing and developing, just as other elements are. There are some obvious leaders, and Gionta is a solid one. But you can always use more, and some of the younger guys will be learning how they can fit into the leadership picture. All part of the process.

His minutes are more prime defensive minutes. DD and Eller get the "prime offensive minutes" matchups. Gionta plays with Plekanec and they play against top lines.

Can't have a Captain who cries.
