Willie Mitchell Named Captain of Florida Panthers

[Omni Owl]

Yeah I'd say we really miss Mitchell. Right now, our whole second pairing from last year isn't on the ice.

“You go through such a wonderful journey with basically the same nucleus of guys. [Winning the Stanley Cup] was the ultimate of ultimates, and we [the Kings] did it twice. You share a special bond with those guys. It doesn’t go away no matter where you play. I’m looking forward to it but am a little bit nervous.’’

Nice article about Mitchell.

A huge congrats to Willie. He's badly missed by the Kings. Great player and well deserved position for him.

I know that Willie would prefer to receive his ring privately, with little fuss, but I hope they present him his 2nd Stanley Cup ring in front of the fans. It'll give fans a chance to show Mitchell their appreciation of what he brought to the Kings and give them a chance to say a proper goodbye.

What a great guy! Miss Willie!

No one really talks about Gagne, Fraser, Penner, Richardson, or other guys that won cups with us as much as Willie.
