Well boys, have fun. I'm off to have a molar extracted and a mold made for my left front incisor. That one is hockey damage from the 70s. Had a crown. Sheared off in 2013. $2000 for root canal, post and new crown. Now it moves. Turns out the underlying roots are cracked. Just call me Gumby DAMMIT.
That's right, I'm Gumby Dammit!!
Let's all date ourselves. Who remembers THAT SNL skit. Hint, was Eddie Murphy. Back when the show was still funny.
How do you quantify who is a better Captain? A lot of things a fan would not be privy to. It's not just as simple as taking the best player and making him Captain.
A fan would have no way of knowing what players are good Captains, because a ton that goes into being a Captain is done off the ice. - PLindbergh31
Those I mentioned were not always the best player at all.
only captain in franchise history to have the losing streaks he has had the last 2 years.
I know it isn't his fault. Team is bad. Injuries. Covid. Global warming. An "insurrection". Inflation.

Exactly my point. There is no evidence any fan can use to say player A is a better captain than player B. Only someone who has had each player as a Captain before could make any comparison
Nope. Hockey is played on ice. Hence, ball hockey, street hockey and roller hockey. Roller hockey translates. Everyone can run. See above. Not even all excellent skaters can play hockey. EVERYONE can play ball hockey. - jaws1955

I remember it well. I never thought the Gumby skits were funny, though. Coneheads also not funny.

You can't even take a teams success and equate it to the Captain being good or bad. I think if a team has a strong Captain it can definitely help a team that is close, but you can have an excellent Captain that just doesn't have the talent around him.

I personally thought the Mr. Bill skits were funny as a kid.
"Hockey is a term used to denote various types of both summer and winter team sports which originated on either an outdoor field, sheet of ice, or dry floor such as in a gymnasium.
There are many types of hockey. Some games make the use of skates, either wheeled, or bladed while others do not. In order to help make the distinction between these various games, the word "hockey" is often preceded by another word i.e. "field hockey", "ice hockey", "roller hockey", "rink hockey", or "floor hockey"."
Hockey is hockey regardless of whether you use ice or not - xShoot4WarAmpsx
Well my friend, you do you. You keep playing those Other games. You are entitled to your opinion. They didn't start to differentiate until people that CANT skate wanted to enjoy some aspect of the game.. it's NOT the same game.. Everyone can run.. hockey is a game played on ice.. You can try semantics all you want.. They are not equal..
I will never change my view on this.. Also soccer isn't a sport. It's a little kids activity so the don't get hurt. Anything less than full contact hockey, played on ICE is not real hockey.

You can argue all you want. I posted the actual definition of Hockey. Lol your definition is hilarious. Nothing less than full contact is real hockey. There are plenty of Ice Hockey leagues that play without contact and contact isnt a huge part of the game. The NHL could remove it any everyone will still play and watch. Does the fact they allow fighting make it real hockey too?
Thank you all for keeping me busy as I sit in the waiting room to have my tooth yank. That's #3. They pandemic has been hard on my teeth. Gumby indeed.
