JamesTW Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I stopped reading after the title, I was just curious to see what the responses were. Pro-tip don't post anything from the bleacher report or trade rumours from that moron Eklund if you don't want to get flamed (unless you are making fun of them). Stripping the C from Henrik would cause the team to fail so yeah it's a moron idea thought up by a moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Chardon Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Kesler is a great player and will always lead by example, but he is far too emotional, prickly and immature to be a captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucksfaninotown Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Neither Hank or Kesler are deserving of being captains. When I think of a captain, I think of a guy like Trevor Linden, Scott Stevens, Scott Niedermayer and I know I'll get blasted for this one, but Zdeno Chara. I love Hank. He works hard and is good with his teammates and infront of the cameras, but the only reason he has the C is due to the fact that the Canucks have no one else worthy of being a captain. Kesler does not possess the leadership skills to be captain. He definitely leads by example with his work ethic, however a guy who complains and dives as much as he does, does not deserve the C. An A, yes. I think the closest thing the canucks have to a captain coming up in system is Cody Hodgson. He kind of reminds me of Linden. However, I could also be in a Linden withdrawal.

keslerian one Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Kesler is my favorite player on the canucks but he's not exactly a beacon of classiness... Lets stick with the art ross and hart trophy winner here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 What about Bieksa? He has all the captain qualities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odjickwillkillyou Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 This is such a discredit to Hank. Kes is great, but right now this is Hank's team and you can see the respect they have for him. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Ryan Kesler the one who told reporters anyone who makes a big hit should be willing to fight? Or the Ryan Kesler who only last week blew a fuse over a mild, and deserved, critic by AV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I think Daniel and henrik should alternate the c one wears for home games and the other for away haha jk hanks an awesome captain look forward to seeing him lead the team for the next decade?

hockeyville88 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Not a necrobump I'm trying not to start new threads to clog up the forum even more! To those who think Kesler should be captain, here's a tweet from CTV's Perry Solkowski Won't see a lot of post game clips from Kesler. He didn't come out to talk. Leadership and accountability? Nope. #canucks btw, I'm not hating on Kesler the player. Just the leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronsmith Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I want a leader in the room and on the bench. Not a leader that strength is dealing with the press. Maybe Kes hates losing and needs some time to get over it. Do you prefer a captain that is eliminated from the playoffs and quickly runs out to meet the press with a big smile on his face. Lay off Kes, he is a warrior and the best 2 way player on our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surtur Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 WTF did Kesler do????? why take it away from Hank to give to a selfish player..kes need to learn a lot about the team game before he can lead one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Ed Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Wish we still had Hodgson. If I knew Kesler was going to be as non existent come playoffs as he was. Much prefer Cody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WZRD Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I wonder if Kes was still bothered by his hip. He was terrible this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemieux Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 His 43-goal season was obviously inflated because of the number of lucky tip-ins and empty netters that he got. You can't really count on tip-ins to carry you through 4 rounds. The one against San Jose was a fluke, just like at least 10 of his goals last year. Should have traded him while his value was high.
