HAHAHA I just heard that podcast this morning. He also said that Petey seemed a bit arrogant when he first met him, but after his shell breaks and you get to know him, he's a very funny guy with a great sense of humor.

And a Leader?

Yeah I can't think of a player that has come up through Utica and won a full time spot on the team, maybe Demko but he wont be a starter.

I'm still waiting for Baumgartner to make the team. Patience.

MDZ said Boeser is a dummy and likes his beer yesterday, so hopefully better comments today.

Horvat wears the C where ever he plays eventually. He looked like the on ice leader in the playoffs in his rookie year when everyone was screaming about lack of heart and determination from everyone else.... even the vets with letters on their jersey's were in his shadow.

He's a Dale Hunter jr.

As long as Hutton isnt dancing in the background it would be pretty funny.

At this point in EP's career and not having a chance to prove his leadership, it's a popularity contest to pick him vs actually leading.

Our old school minor hockey trainer used to show us this pic (or a similar one) to justify doing forearm supersets

When a team’s true alpha says something, his peers don’t go on Roxy benders/video game all nighters. I’d bet $ if EP talked to the squad about professionalism & expectations, guys would start getting their sh!t together. Just my opinion.

Thanks Carol!

How’s the boot licking crowd doing today?

They are just as likely to reject the 20 year old to some degree. Like I said, it's a popularity contest if you are going to compare the two. Bo is a bonafied leader and always has been. People can assume what EP is going to be like as a leader.... but we don't really know yet. He wasnt mature enough last season to be a Captain... didnt Captain Sweden, didnt Captain his SEL team... jury is still out and would be asking him to be something he dosnt have a lot of experience with yet. If his on ice performance trumps everything... he doesnt need the C. Players will follow regardless. Meanwhile his lippy arrogant attitude over nothing more than dumb standard questions by the media will escalate. They will fish for reactions and he'll deliver and the cycle will get worse. Someone like Bo will have to sit him down. Contradicting who the leaders are.

Short term I could see the marketing strategy. You can see in here even.

Does a player who requests not to talk to the media this season seem like he's ready to be the team Captain?

I'm just applying logic regardless of EP being my favourite player on the team.
