If EP is this super Alpha like people are suggesting, I can tell you he really doesn't give a (frank) if he's wearing the C or not. He's only going to care if that C toting bastard doesn't come close to deserving that.

Bo is your natural C, and a year ago I don't think anyone would have disputed that. We're talking public speaking, both with officials and the media. Also, in case the team has a problem with a coach, trainer, manager......you name it.

Alpha leaders are leaders, regardless of the jersey designation. I've played on many teams where the true leader didn't have a letter.

Let the kid focus on his training and being a top scorer. No need to add captaincy on the plate in a sophomore season when you have a great option like BO. I've always said the guys in the room should be the ones picking, I stand by that but there is my two cents on EP.

They will gravitate naturally and if they need to see the C on a jersey to figure it out, they should be playing broom ball instead.

Nobody on the team is going to question Bo as their leader. He's played a lot of tough minutes in this league.

Also, Bo is not going to get suckered into an inter-squad leadership struggle. He just wants to play hockey and win.

Like a modern day Raffi Torres.

Yep, I imagine Chicago fans feel the same way about Torres during the 2011 playoff run as I do about Ferland in 2015.

That's the great thing about the Blackhawks, they did their charging by committee.

Benning said yesterday that in a couple of weeks they are going to make an announcement about the structure of the Canucks Management . New positions and additions . I wonder if one of them will be Brackett the new GM?

Hate to say it but I think it's time we give a Canadian the C for a spell other than a goalie and Mark Messier... they don't count.

To me it's just a bonus that he's Canadian.

We sure went from #nomoreswedes to #anotherswedishcaptain in a hurry.....pretty much one year.

Nah, maybe it stopped after EP was drafted.

Slurper's pretty funny though, especially when you've got Benning cock all over your breath.

Says the guy who is slurping B1tchwoods gouch. Are you that fuken retarded that you are looking for an argument because I think Pettersson is the teams best player? Nice work also on trying to stir sh1t with Dragon earlier also.

I guess your leader told you to go stir things up.

Canucks do not, at all, have the assets to trade for Warenski unless Bo, BB, EP or Hughes are involved.

Are you that retarded to think a team's best player should be their captain?

I don't have a leader but you still have some Benning on your chin.

Oh trust me you have a leader and you have a click. What I don't get is why you are looking for an argument because I think the teams best player is also the team leader. I also don't get why you care if Dragon is from Langley Mexico or Krypton? What the fuk does it have to do with you?

That's cool, maybe now that you've enlightened me they'll invite me to meetings, BBQ's etc.

If not agreeing with you is looking for an argument then I guess a pile of guys are in regards to the captaincy among other things.


I'm not sure what your obsession with Dragon is all about, i'm just happy him and his big muscles are watching over us.

Hey I agree with a lot of things.

Today you come in going after Dragon and then you bring up Nomoreswedes which a joke from years back,

So you were either instructed to come here and stir poop by your leader

You are on your period

Or you are just a fuken assh0le

You tell me which one is it?

That's easy, i'm just a (frank)ing bumhole.

I mean anytime someone on the internet claims they're the strongest they automatically open themselves to criticism. Making superman references? Seriously, you're defending that poop?

As for the #nomoreswedes movement, you're clearly just trying to distance yourself from it. I get it, you regret what you said (for years) .

Bloated and I are just pointing out we have a perfectly good Canadian candidate and that there's no reason to anoint your leading scorer as your captain.

I don't care if he claims if he is strong . I don't see a need to try to humiliate him like some others here, you included.

You and Bloated and anyone else can think Bo or anyone you want to be captain . I can have my opinion too . No need to try go go after what someone thinks .

I have no regrets about my feelings about the Sedins . Keeping them was a huge mistake . The game has changed years ago. I didn't like the Sedins , I didn't like Edler I did change my opinion of him, sue me.

You're right, like Subban Dragon has feelings.
I think that #nomoreswedes really hurt yours.
